Zac Efron

Teen heartthrob Zac Efron is determined not to be drawn in by the Hollywood party scene - insisting he can have fun without going to wild clubs.

The clean-living High School Musical star would rather lead a grounded existence, and is repulsed by the thought of joining the debauched Hollywood party circuit.

He says, "I don't find myself drawn to that scene. I think acting is a tradition that far pre-dates celebrity and, today, the two are just meshing. It's not even that I've made a conscious decision not to party.

"I don't think clubbing is a choice you make. You can have fun with friends without part of that scene."
