Lily James (33) probably only had eyes for Zac Efron (35)! For the film “The Iron Claw” the two actors played side by side. In particular, the new look of the High School Musical star made headlines in advance. Because the fans didn’t recognize their idol anymore! For his portrayal of wrestler Kevin von Erich, the movie star not only gained a lot of muscle mass, but he also got a new hairstyle! At the very least, Lily could hardly focus on anything else at the sight of Zac!
“He had a great pot haircut, but he was also quite muscular, which was a big distraction for me,” the Brit admits to The Sun. However, that wasn’t the only thing that completely captivated Lily. “What was even more fantastic was his performance. He really went through a blatant transformation,” enthuses the 33-year-old.
However, Zac’s new look was not met with much enthusiasm from fans. “This is proof that even Zac Efron doesn’t own a pony,” one user tweeted. Another laughed: “Zac Efron looks like Lord Farquaad’s brother from Shrek!”
