Hollywood hottie Zac Efron is best known for his killer abs, his high-profile romance with Vanessa Hudgens and his sugary-sweet role in the High School Musical films. Since graduating from the Disney franchise, he's been eager prove his talent as more than just a teen star -- but the actor promises to take his devoted fans along for the ride.
"I would never want to do anything to alienate or betray these fans that have been so great," Efron tells iVillage exclusively. "I want to stay a little bit ahead of the audience, experience life and make movies about those experiences. When they catch up to that age and gain perspective on life and realize that not everything is like High School Musical, there'll be a movie there to help them through that next stage of their lives."

Zac Efron is in negotiations to star in Warner Bros.' "The Lucky One," based on the Nicholas Sparks novel about a Marine searching for a mysterious woman.
The film will be produced by Denise Di Novi and Kevin McCormick, who segued last year from Warner production president to a studio deal under the Langley Park banner. Scott Hicks is attached to helm.
Di Novi's produced three other Sparks adaptations for the studio -- "Nights in Rodanthe," "A Walk to Remember" and "Message in a Bottle." Di Novi Pictures prexy Alison Greenspan is exec producing.
Will Fetters adapted "Lucky One," which revolves around a Marine who survives three tours in Iraq and attributes his good fortune to a photograph he carried of a woman he has never met. He sets out to meet her when he returns to North Carolina.
Efron signed a producing deal earlier this year with Warner Bros., but isn't attached as a producer on "The Lucky One." He next appears in U's "Charlie St. Cloud," opening Friday.

Hard enough to be a teenager and blunder your way into maturity as a private citizen. Harder still for a teen idol to prove his manhood professionally as the fans watch. Leonardo DiCaprio did it. So, too, did Will Smith. Can Zac Efron, boy heartthrob of High School Musical, make the leap?
The answer may be Charlie St. Cloud, a Ghost-y weeper starring the former Tiger Beat centerfold as a Stanford-bound student who grieves - and grows - in the wake of family tragedy. Efron's performance is low-key but high-impact. The film from Burr Steers, who directed Efron in 17 Again, opens Friday.
The bed-head hair, triple-dip lashes, and seaglass-blue eyes that are Efron greet you en masse at Philadelphia's Ritz-Carlton. The St. Jude medal around his neck?

What do you think of Zac Efron?
A steak in Chicago
Just before our interview with Zac Efron at the Peninsula Hotel Thursday, the "Charlie St. Cloud" star filled up on filet mignon at Gibson's. "It was top notch, definitely," says Efron, 22. "I finished it all, too, so I'm definitely feeling it right now." The rising star, who is constantly mobbed by screaming fans, says that an average Saturday date night with girlfriend and "High School Musical" co-star Vanessa Hudgens consists of sneaking out to a restaurant and grabbing a movie. "We go to the movies a lot. The movies is a place we tend to not get bothered, surprisingly enough. We try and see most movies in theaters." The best he's seen recently? "Toy Story 3."
