The boy’s still got it! Hollywood heartthrob Zac Efron made waves in Australia on Tuesday after hundreds of screaming fans invaded a Sydney beach to watch the star take his first surfing lesson.
The High School Musical actor joined Australian surf champions Layne Beachley and Tom Whitaker for a lesson at the city’s famous Bondi beach as part of a charity event. Efron hit the surf at Bondi Beach to raise awareness for the One Sight Foundation in Sydney, But the Oakley’s Learn to Ride surf session was disrupted by a gaggle of teeners, who took to the sands to glimpse the young hunk, according to The Sydney Herald.
Metal barriers were erected around the beach, but the swelling crowd managed to burst through and charge onto the sand. Despite the security fears, Zac still enjoyed half an hour in the water with the surf pros. The 21-year-old star and his longtime girlfriend, Vanessa Hudgens, are expected to remain in Australia for the next several days.
