Zac Efron, who is featured on the cover and in the pages of People magazine’s 2010 50 Hottest Bodies issue, was honored last night with the Shining Star Award at the 2010 Maui Film Festival in Hawaii. As you may recall, we learned earlier this week that Zac would be receiving this honor (and more importantly, we saw a few amazingly HOT photos of Zac lookin’ all wet and half nekkid at the beach in Maui earlier this week) and last night was his big night. Here are some photos from the Maui Film Festival last night and some excerpts from an interview Zac gave to the Maui News:
Shortly after arriving on Maui earlier this week, young movie star Zac Efron went for a swim in front of his resort. “I was taking a dip. It’s the first thing you do here, right?” said the 22-year-old screen star best known for his roles in the “High School Musical” series on TV and the movies. Except when Zac Efron does it, it winds up on the cover of People magazine. “Hilarious,” said Efron, on the island to accept the Maui Film Festival’s Shooting Star Award, bestowed in an outdoor ceremony Wednesday night in the festival’s signature venue, the Celestial Cinema on the Wailea Golf Course. Efron, whose new drama “Charlie St. Cloud” opens in theaters in a few weeks, accepted the award, which says: “while still in the ascendancy of his career – with many magnetic performances both behind and ahead of him – always generates as much light as heat.” Efron was using the Maui vacation as an opportunity to bond with his younger brother, Dylan, a recent graduate of Arroyo Grande High School on the Central California coast … While his next role goes in a more dramatic direction, depicting a young man grappling with the death of his brother, he takes pride in having helped usher in a new era of musicals on movie and TV screens. “I would never take credit for it, but I would say the resurgence of musicals is such an amazing trend,” he said. “I’m glad to be a part of it. Every time a fan comes up to me and tells me ‘High School Musical’ encouraged me to join my school play, or ‘I didn’t even know I could sing before, but it gave me the courage to try.’ Those are the things you remember. It’s way better than just asking for pictures.”
You know what, congrats and all of that jazz … but let’s get to the important stuff, shall we? The only reason I keep doing these Zac Efron posts is because I’m always looking for another reason to post insanely hot pics of the lad lookin’ half nekkid and wet at the beach. Please join me in gawking at a few more photos like these, after the jump …
Dear baby Jebus, please have mercy on my soul! MMMM MMMM … nice photos, yes? You know, I’d be cool with the folks in Hawaii giving Zac Efron awards on a daily basis if it means we could get a regular supply of photos like this … oh, yes I would. Enjoy!
