“I will, only if Zac holds my hands throughout”: Jeremy Allen White Still Hasn’t Watched Zac Efron’s Movie That Made Him Famous
Acclaimed actor Jeremy Allen White played the role of a young chef in the Emmy-winning The Bear and became this year’s summer breakout. He recently revealed something, that might surprise the High School Musical fans.
Jeremy Allen White has never watched Zac Efron’s High School Musical, which rose the actor to stardom. After co-starring with Efron, White has agreed to watch the trilogy on one condition: if the Neighbors star holds his hand throughout. The Movie 43 star has been highly praised for portraying Carmy, who’s an incredible and determined young chef.
Jeremy Allen White Never Watched Zac Efron’s High School Musical
Despite co-starring with Zac Efron in Iron Claw, Jeremy Allen White revealed to had never watched one of his notable films the High School Musical. Efron played the iconic and fan-favorite character Troy Bolton, who’s also one of the leading cast members. Soon after High School Muscal was released, the 17 Again actor rose to stardom and is now considered a renowned actor in the entertainment world.
Jeremy Allen White being unaware of the thrill and legacy of the rom-com seems a bit surprising. However, he has mentioned watching the trilogy only on one condition, and while talking about his projects and acting career, during an interview with Variety, he said:
“I haven’t seen them. Sorry, Zac. I will watch them. I will. Only if Zac holds my hand throughout, that’s how we’ll get it done.”
White’s lighthearted words captured the moment, as he continued to talk about his most recent movie. Zac Efron is often regarded as a chameleon for transforming his exceptional looks for various projects, and this time he did it for the ongoing movie The Iron Claw. From horror to epic war drama, Efron has come a long way, and this time stepping into the ring to portray Kevin Von Erich. The film revolves around the Von Erich wrestling family and the unfortunate Von Erich curse that led to the death of the wrestlers.

The family faced a series of tragedies, leading to the deaths of the brothers.

The Iron Claw is in theatres now.
