Zac Efron is Trending on Twitter and Everyone’s Wondering the Same Thing

Prepare the floodgates, because Zac Efron is trending on Twitter…and not for the reason you might think. 

Usually when the words “Zac” and “Efron” pop up on that righthand sidebar, it’s because the lean, mean ab-making machine has revealed a new impossibly chiseled physique for a film role (have we forgotten his unseasoned chicken and spinach diet for Baywatch?)

If “High School Music 4” is in the works, they’ve been doing a great job of keeping the project under wraps…until now.
