The “The Awkward Moment” actor was playing a game of “most likely to” with Josh Horowitz on MTV when he was asked which of the film's stars would be most likely to be cast in a “Star Wars” movie. Zac conceded that he was in talks.
Efron admitted that he met with the people at Disney but that he has no clue as to the outcome of the discussion. “Yeah, I just went and met with them. So I don't know. It would be cool. I love [the "Star Wars" movies], I love them, but … who knows?,” Efron said.
