With the overwhelming hype over American Idol and the Twilight DVD release, teen star Zac Efron seems to be distancing himself from all this mania and abandoning his squeaky clean image by getting rather dirty in the new April 2009 issue of Interview magazine.
Not only does Zac Efron get pretty dirty with mud and dirt, he does so with a fully naked female model. In fact, we had to censor the nipple off the breast of the model for public viewing.
This is certainly not your Disney teen idol anymore. Zac Efron is becoming a man, and he wants you to know it!
The rather dirty and scandalous photo shoot is by photographer Mikael Jansson.
