Zac Efron's Audition Regret
Zac Efron said he performed such an over-the-top audition as a child that he was asked to leave the room.
The 'High School Musical' star - who plays a teenage student who, by luck, gets to work with a young Orson Welles in the new coming-of-age drama 'Me and Orson Wells' - said the try-out still haunts him now.
He said: "That was my first experience and I had just done the play 'Peter Pan' so I thought I was⦠I mean, who could be better. We were all quite young and I wasn't even playing Peter I was playing John but I'd watched loads of actors play Peter so I showed up at the audition and I was dancing around and jumping off things and being crazy like lost boys you know.
"I ran around, I jumped up on my chair and started singing the lines and then she interrupted me, she goes, 'You've never done this before have you?' and I said, 'no, not at all.' And she said, 'OK, you can go.'"
