Zac Efron, a graduate of Disney’s star machine and teen heart-throb of the “High School Musical” series and “17 Again,” is not the biggest fan of his own movies.
And he’s not the only one. “Twilight” stars Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart are not exactly talking their own work up either.
With his latest film “Me and Orson Welles” due out next month, Efron told Nylon Guys magazine, “It’s the first time I’ve ever watched a movie (that I’m in) and in the end I’m like, ‘OK! I didn’t check my watch once!”
In fairness to Efron, he is only 21 year-old, so it’s not like he has the long list of movie credits of, say, a Jack Nicholson. Maybe it takes him a while to get warmed up, and he will have some other favorite roles after “Me and Orson Welles.”
But that does not sit well with some Disney fans. At the Disney fan website, DisneyDreaming.com, they whipped up an article titled “Zac Efron Disappoints Us Again” after his latest comment.
“C’mon Zac Efron, really? We love your movies, and we support all of your roles,” the short article states. “And on top of that, we PAY to watch your movies in theater, purchase them on DVD and buy paraphernalia with your face on it. The LEAST you could do is act like you enjoyed those movies too.”
Wow, who knew those Mickey Mouse ears could be so sharp?
“Twilight” star Robert Pattinson recently told a British publication that watching himself on-screen is painful, especially when it comes to this year’s art house film “Little Ashes,” in which he played Salvador Dali.
“It’s like self-flagellation, so why would I bother,” Pattinson said in the piece. “… It was hard to watch my first scene in which I turn up in this funny little hat.”
Meanwhile, Pattinson’s “Twilight” co-star Kristen Stewart is also feeling some ennui. She tells Interview magazine that the hype around her movie has her feeling the blues.
“The sad thing is that I feel so boring because ‘Twilight’ is literally how every conversation I have these days begins - whether it’s someone I’m meeting for the first time or someone I just haven’t seen in a while.”
The question is whether the rest of the public is getting bored with Efron, Pattinson, Stewart et al as well?

Do you know,im sick to death of going onto a website and seeing “Haters” For instance if you dont like any of the films the three actors have been in why tell us? Why slate them! Why slate any celebrity for that matter. Robert likes acting he is lucky enough to have that as a job and earn a lot of money and also he is very well known for doing his job but its his choice. I bet if any of you got offered say 5 million you would do a cheesy film. They don’t want their private life all over the press but that’s part of his job. I don’t see why people just don’t get a life and go and read articles on the celebrity you do like? I mean if you don’t like the actors why read an article on them?
- Posted by AliciaWho could get fed up of these 3 actors? I have to admit Robert pattinson will always have my vote,But i feel sorry for all of them being attacked by fans what happened to dignity? If i met rob i certainly wouldn’t try to push him into a road or jump on him! I will never want to be a celebrity i mean who really wants their personal life shown to every newspaper and magazine in the world? I think these actors should get more credit for what they do,not only are they great actors but they have to put up with alot more than that!
- Posted by AliciaHey, just got off the treadmill, saw this show capturing the Nerd world when it hit me. Rob is a good looking GEEK and NERD. He can’t deal with adoration because his mind works logically and practically. He has right brain talent with left brain thought process. Leave the guy alone, he is making fun choice, I wish there was a way to put a bubble up for him to live in. Maybe he could move to Coon Rapids, Iowa, I garauntee NO ONE would find him here HERE hidden in the nothingness.
- Posted by jacci thomasWell, I’m glad I’m not the only one that didn’t enjoy their movies. At least they’re not delusional.
