Poor Zac Efron.  He says that on the set of his most recent film, “17 Again”, he was slapped ‘about 50 times’

The actor claims he thought that there was a way to ‘fake slap’ someone.  Sadly for him however, his co-star Tom Lennon confessed that there was no fake slap, just real ones, the effects of which can be seen in the movie

“Honestly, I thought there was a way to ‘fake slap’. I was like, ‘What’s gonna happen? Do they make a slap sound and I just move my head really quick?’

 ”But there’s no way – my co-star Tom Lennon came up to me and just told me, ‘Sorry dude, we’re just gonna go for it’. And I’m like, ‘Well, of course you say that, you’re on the easy end’.”And then cut to fifty slaps later… you could see it in the movie, my face is bright red.”

Despite the pain Zac says he had a great time on the set, and would love to continue doing traditional films (non-musicals)
