During the Friday premiere of his film At Any Price during the Tribeca Film Festival, Zac Efron admitted that he still gets the "jitters" while filming. What was worse for him during this film's shoot was the fact that his co-star, Heather Graham, was his childhood crush! The film also stars Dennis Quaid and features an intimate scene between Efron and Graham.
While posing for photos and answering question's t the New York City premiere of the Ramin Bahrani-directed film, Zac admitted to his long-time crush of the former Boogie Nights starlet.
"I've been a fan of Heather's and had a crush on her since I can remember," the 25-year-old actor told The New York Post. "She's always been the epitome of that perfect girl. I wanted to get it right."
Luckily, Graham, who is 43 years old, had only the nicest things to say about her young co-star.
"Zac is just really together," Graham told the Huffington Post. "I'm so amazed by how smart and hard working he is. And he has the craziest fans of any actor I've ever worked with ... like they're screaming and waiting outside the set for hours."
The High School Musical star also praised his other co-star, Hollywood legend Dennis Quaid. He explained that his recent stint as an Independent film actor and his willingness to stay in the lower-budgeted films was a result of some advice from Quaid.
"I've been doing a lot of interviews with Dennis [Quaid] and his words of wisdom are sort of just fresh in my mind," said the young actor.
"Dennis says the only role he sort of had for himself in this career is to do as many different types of movies as possible and never stop stretching or trying something new, particularly roles that challenge you, and working with great directors. That's really all I want to do."
