He continued, "So Nicole kind of called me and said, 'Hey, do you want to do this? Because if you want to do it, I'll do it.' It was like, '100%, if you want to do it,' " he adds. "I was honored to get that call. That made my year."

Additionally, Zac Efron was also asked if he feels awkward filming romance scenes with actors, he is friendly with, to which he responded, "You know what? It's actually not."
