Zac Efron loves fantasy! The Highschool Musical alum and now the star of the movie 'Me and Orson Welles' says his favourite thing about being a Hollywood movie star is being able to explore characters who are "cooler" than him and who lead more interesting lives.

Zac Efron explained: "I find that it's always more interesting to live out your fantasies through characters. It's not necessarily that I'm afraid to be myself - it's that you get to do cooler things, you get to me a more interesting person when you're playing someone else. You get to be all the things you wanted to be, or someone else that was really cool, or be someone that you really hate."

Zac Efron also added that he loves his new character in the movie 'Me and Orson Welles'. Zac plays the role of teenage student Richard Samuels who, by luck, gets to work with a young Orson Welles and grows close to production assistant Sonja Jones - played by Claire Danes. He explained to Britain's Guardian newspaper: "I always enjoy that character in movies, the one who represents the real guy. I enjoyed the moment where my character Richard asks Sonja what it's like to be a beautiful woman, because that's gone through every guy's head."

Zac Efron added: "I think that's a feeling that guys can relate to who've been in a relationship, you know what I mean? You take the lead from them."

"Hey you! Am I your fantasy?"
