Efron hung up on Madge

-

IT seems Zac Efron has a star crush on Madonna. The actor says the singer is amazing and captivatin­g.

Efron, 29, appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live! to promote his new movie, Baywatch. He opened up about the night he hung out with Madonna, 58, at an MMA fight at Madison Square Gardens. He noted the Hung Up hit-maker was “legit into the fight”.

When host Jimmy Kimmel asked: “Is it possible that she was trying to have sex with you? Madonna is an irresistib­le person. When she sets her sights on someone, there’s no escaping,” Efron said he “couldn’t confirm or deny” Madonna’s potential motives.

He said: “I’ll tell you one thing – Madonna was lovely. She is amazing. She just is amazing. She’s rad. I guess you can say she tapped me.”

Meanwhile, Efron finds talk about his body “embarrass- ing”. He was motivated to get into incredible shape for his role in Baywatch by his co-star Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson.

Speaking on ITV chat show Lorraine, he said: “It’s weird. It’s embarrassi­ng to talk about. It’s a lot of training. I was with The Rock, so it’s motivation. We never worked out together, though.”

Meanwhile, Efron recently joked that kissing Johnson in a scene for Baywatch was “one off the bucket list” for him.

He said: “He tasted like a Winterfres­h commercial. It was crazy. It was like: ‘ He’s good at that too?’ He’s just the best at everything ... It was an awesome kiss and one off the bucket list for me for sure.”

When asked what Efron’s lips feel like, Johnson first joked: “Millions and millions of young ladies, and ladies in general, want to know ... His lips were like if you have a bottle and you shatter it on the ground – that shattered glass,” before then adding that they were incredibly “soft lips”.

Asked which of his Baywatch co-stars was a better kisser, Efron added: “She (Alexandra Daddario) was a better kisser for sure. But it was funnier to look up and see Dwayne’s face.” – IANS and Bang Showbiz
