Zac Efron denies rumors that he will appear in PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN 4
With the buzz of publicity around this weekend’s big screen debut of Disney’s High School Musical 3, there has also been plenty of Internet speculation that HSM‘s leading man (and tween idol) Zac Efron was destined to move from one big Disney franchise to an even bigger one–namely, that he would be coming aboard the next installment of Pirates of the Caribbean. However, in an interview with Ryan Seacrest on Seacrest’s radio show on Wednesday, Efron denied those rumors . . . although rather wistfully; it’s clear that he would love to ship out on the Black Pearl if he ever got the opportunity, but he hasn’t been invited. “Honestly, at this time it’s just a rumor,” Efron told Seacrest. “I wish I was going to be in Pirates of the Caribbean 4, so hopefully that will happen for me.” I guess every young man wants to be a pirate . . . .
