Zac Efron Can't Wait

Zac Efron, 20, is elated that he will no longer be returning to the role of Troy after High School Musical 3: Senior Year is released on October 24.

The Hollywood heartthrob, who is best known for his role in the Disney Channel film, insists that the third installment will most certainly be the last. "I'm looking for something new and exciting to do. I want to do something dark or a comedy," Efron says about his plans for after the movie, according to the Daily Star. "There's tons of icons that I would love to work with on something new and exciting."

Although Efron has enjoyed working with his High School Musical costars immensely, he feels that it is his time to break away from his clean-cut image. "I want people to see that I have grown up and moved on. This will sadly be the last time we are all together," Efron adds. "I know for sure - and I need a new start."

One of the new starts that Efron could possibly be referring to is his upcoming role in a remake of the 1984 musical comedy, Footloose, in which he will be starring.
