Zac Efron Would Love to Be a Surfer
It seems that Hollywood heartthrob Zac Efron is a big fan of surfing. The actor, who recently got an Indo Board from "High School Musical" co-star Ashley Tisdale for his 21st birthday, would even consider pursuing a career in marine life if he's not an actor.

"I love to surf every chance I get," the Herald Sun quoted the 21-year-old hunk as saying. The boyfriend of actress Vanessa Hudgens confessed he is keen to surf with Kelly Slater at Bells Beach. "Oh man, I would love to go surfing with Kelly Slater at Bells Beach," he said.

Zac was accepted into a film major at the University of Southern California, but he deferred his enrollment while he worked on the first "High School Musical". And the actor said if he ever did take up his spot, he would switch to marine biology. "Then I'd be in the ocean all the time," he added.

Talking about his experience of fame, the "Hairspray" star revealed, "In LA it's more difficult to get out, but the fans are great." Zac added, "It's flattering, and hopefully I can make the best of the opportunities I've been presented with."
