Zac Efron: I’d rather be successful than a party animal

Zac Efron has said he is making a consicous effort to keep his mind on his career and not be distracted by fame and partying.

The High School Musical star turned 21 last October but even though he can legal drink, he still steers clear of the Hollywood partying scene.

He explained recently: “There’s a time for celebration and I partake, sure. But, you know, it’s important not to let that become too big of a distraction. The more you have access to, the harder it is to remain focused.

“You know what, I do not want to fall victim to that, it’s too easy and too often done.

“It’s out of style anyway, I think too many people have done it before me, I’m not going to. It’s uncool, yeah. I think the rebellious thing to do would to actually be successful.”
