Teen Angst with Zac Efron

Maybe it's the hot weather, maybe it's the swarm of photogs -- or it could be his crappy car, but when he was asked to smile, Zac Efron said, "I'm not happy."


At least that's what the pumping star told paps when they asked for a smile. It didn't help the "High School Musical" teen idol when they told him he was SO cute!

Zac eventually cracked a smile while leaning on his hoopty. With two hit movies and a reported multi-million dollar offer for a third installment of "High School Musical," -- Zac has a lot to be happy about.

16. Oh my gosh, he was just pumping gas. If someone was in my face telling me "smile for the camera" every time I left the house I would not be happy either. He wasn't being rude or shouting obscenities, he was just trying to pump gas and be on his way. I think the person taking the photo was treating him like he was an animal on display in the zoo, and not a human being who did not sign up for 24 hour photo surveylance of his every move.

19. aww! i feel bad for him. if the paparazzi stopped stalking him whenever he does his most mundane activities every day, maybe THEN he'll be happy. he's just a normal kid who happened to receive fame a little too fast. stop ruining his life before he ends up like another lindsay lohan or owen wilson or river phoenix. he doesnt deserve that!

And stop making fun of him about his car!!! Not because he's an actor means that he should be driving a bentley!!! and then crash it like the other retards that u love so much!!! Leave him ALONE!!!!!

21. Please leave Zac alone. This is the sickest most stalker-ish behavior to approach ANYONE in public, get physically close to them and start taking their photos and "order" them to smile. I'm sure that Zac is just trying to be courteous asto not anger the stalkers-just in case they are truly mentally deranged. People who are stalking-stop it and get some therapy. TMZ-shame on you for posting these videos-you are only encouraging the stalking of stars. Stay positive Zac-this hysteria will all die down soon.

22. Why can't people just leave Zac and vanessa alone. Let them be in love. How would everday people like it if Zac and Vanessa went around speculating about the love lives with out really knowing anything about them.
He probably said he's "not happy "as a way of letting the press know he's not their puppet and he doesn't have to smile just because they say so!

Zac, Vanessa Shut the world out and ignore the idiots. You look grest together!

23. What teen angst ? I don't see what the big deal is , so what if he didn't feel like smiling , it's not like he was being rude or running from the cameras saying . "Get out of my face !" or anything . Big friggin' whoop just another stupid miscellaneous celebrity encounter blown out of proportion and brought to us by TMZ.... as usual .

24. Geez just leave him alone...i mean it would suck not to have any privacy. How would you like people in your face 24/7. Just let him live his life without having to worry about it being everyone else's problem...i mean i guess some people are just really low.

26. poor zac, he can't even put gas in his car without the paparazzi taking video and pictures of him. I wouldn't be happy too. I would be pissed if they keep shoving video cameras and cameras in my face too!

27. Zac Efron is a brilliant actor, and lots of people love him, Some more than others. but as soon as he walks out his house there'll be LOTS of people annoying him and taking pictures and stuff because of that. but fame and fortune have to count for something...

28. i think of zac as a regular person.. ok he is a teen heart throb but if i ran into him at a store or something and he was shoppin or something.. i would not bother him .. i think people should think about being in that persons shoes, would u like to be bothered every were u go and have people make a big deal about u getting gas. umm thanks but no thanks i will stick to my normal life. and one other thing people think zac is just another pretty face but he is much more than that he is a talented actor singer and dancer and lots of people say he mine if u want him go through me first.. but the truth is he dosn't belong to anyone but himself.. so thank u and i like zac its just i feel bad for him having paps following him all the time
