Zac Efron “Pirates Of The Caribbean 4″


Is Zac Efron hanging up his dancing shoes for a voyage out to sea? The 21-year-old High School Musical alum has reportedly signed a $10 million deal to star alongside Golden Globe-nominated actor Johnny Depp in the upcoming fourth installment of Pirates of the Caribbean.
According to the National Enquirer, executives at Disney first approached Zac about accepting a small role in the eagerly-awaited feature last year after it appeared that Johnny would not agree to film a fourth Pirates film.
“Zac was extremely interested,” says a source.
Although the original Captain Jack Sparrow himself is now on board for more swashbuckling, Disney still wants to groom a successor for Depp. That’s where Zac comes in.
The $10 million payday will make Zac Johnny Depp’s heir in the Pirates series. This way, the studio will always have a pirate on standby just in case Depp one day decides he does not want to continue with the franchise, the tabloid claims.
