The blue-eyed Zac Efron made everyone his fan the moment he sang, “We’re all in this together”. People couldn’t help but fall for him in ‘High School Musical’. The actor rose to fame when he was just 19 and since then he has never looked back.
With every character, he has proved his talent and calibre, whether it was playing Jim Carrico in ‘Parkland’ or Philip in his latest film ‘The Greatest Showman’. He has shown different shades of his personality with every role, making his place as an actor in the industry.

But it looks like we are not the only people who love his work. Zac recently came on ‘The Graham Norton Show’ and shared a moment about talking to a star that turned out to be his fan.

Well, the person was none other than Pop King Michael Jackson, the man who has literally got the whole world grooving to his beats and moves.
It happened when 20-year-old Zac was in Paris with his ‘High School Musical’ director Kenny Ortega. Kenny got a call and he asked Zac to pick it up saying it was the King Of Pop. And boy, this is exactly how Efron reacted!
Trust us, anyone in his place would have had the same facial expression.
Soon when Zac picked up the phone, he introduced himself but MJ asked him to hand over the phone to Kenny. But that wasn’t it. MJ called him again and that started the most amazing conversation.

“Oh, this is Zac from High School Musical? I love what you do. I’m a huge fan,” said MJ and you can just imagine how one would react if he told you so.
Sharing his experience he said, “I just lost it. I lost my balance. I think I fell over into the wall … I just started crying. I was a mess.” Afterwards all, he was talking to his hero, he was his huge fan.
He also told him that he was the reason he does what he does. And then even Jackson started crying…
“He ended the whole conversation with something along the lines of, ‘Hey Zac, isn’t it awesome? Dreams really do come true, don’t they?'” Efron said.
We feel you, bro!
