Zac Efron Takes on Blogger Perez Hilton’s Gay Accusation

“I know it’s very addictive to read that kind of stuff. It’s entertainment,” he tells the January/February issue of Details, citing Perez Hilton, who has often questioned the actor’s sexuality. “He’s doing something right. I think he does a great job.”

Pausing, he adds,”Honestly, if the worst he can say about me is that I’m gay, then I think I’ll be fine. I can handle it.”

(He recently went on a date with HSM co-star and girlfriend Vanessa Hudgens.)

Efron also spoke out about the fact that his upcoming comedy Seventeen was created as a star vehicle for him.

“It’s weird, but I don’t feel like I deserve any of the attention,” he says. “There’s really nothing but one audition for a Disney channel movie that separates me from 2,000 other brown-haired, blue-eyed guys in L.A., you know?”

But the actor says he is in it for the long haul.

“These days everyone is just waiting for me to f—k up,” Efron, 20, says. “I’m not gonna give anyone the satisfaction of that.”
