It's hard to imagine that someone as pretty as Zac Efron was ever unpopular, but he's said, "I wasn’t a heartthrob at school; I was a geek, I was into musical theater, which isn’t perceived as the coolest thing. There were guys who were 6' 1" with beards and big muscles and I was a gawky 17-year-old, a skinny, awkward kid. I was a late bloomer. Growing up was hell. I could never get into trouble like the rest of my friends, my parents were very strict and taught me good values." Well, hopefully he will start making up for lost time one of these days!
