Zac Efron isn’t just interested in fun roles

Zac Efron doesn’t act just because it’s fun.

The 22-year-old actor wants challenging roles that make people think.

Speaking about his new film Charlie St. Cloud, Zac told MTV: ‘[Director Burr Steers] doesn’t do sappy, you know what I mean? Burr is very grounded,’

‘He is all about story and dialogue and plot and all about real.’

‘I wanted to make sure the audience got what they needed from it,’ Zac said

‘Hopefully they are fulfilled and leave asking some cool questions. I don’t want to look back and say I just made movies because it was fun, you know? I want to make movies because it’s challenging and it’s an opportunity to help people.’
