Zac Efron Goes The Extra Mile

I'm a Zac Efron fan.

I've made it clear in the past that I find him to be a shimmering, gleaming beacon of hope in the next generation of Hollywood. He continues to prove that he'll either be the next Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt or Leo DiCaprio (and let me tell you something, none of those are bad comparisons). So this little story, as cute and short as it may be, is just another reason why I think he's adorable.

Elaine Lui, who runs Lainey Gossip is reporting that Zac Efron and girlfriend (and High School Musical co-star ) Vanessa Hudgens were taking a stroll in Vancouver and passed by Covenent House. The center houses homeless and at risk Canadian youth. A young man ­— about the same age as Zac — was standing outside. Zac stopped to chat with the kid. The kid told him that he wants to pursue acting someday and Zac took time to listen to the youth tell his story.

He asks the kid why he's at the center. The kid explained what atrocity brought him to the shelter and Zac listened. Soon, the conversation ended and they parted ways. The next day, Zac sent the kid a photo with written a personal message encouraging him to stick with his program at Covenant House, and signing "Love, Zac."

If you are not on the Zac Efron train yet, get on board! He's adorable, talented and generous and will not lead you astray!
