A confused Courteney Cox had to console her five-year-old daughter after a surprise meeting with Zac Efron – because the tot was left “traumatized” by the handsome Hollywood hunk.

The former Friends star arranged for boy-crazy Coco to meet the High School Musical star after realizing her little girl had developed a crush on the teen idol. But Cox was left stunned when her daughter was crippled by shyness as she stood before her musical hero – and ran into another room to escape Efron’s beaming smile.

She explains, “Coco gets these huge crushes on people. One day we decided to surprise her and invite Zac Efron over. We didn’t tell her he was coming – she just loves him. We had a video camera up and we told her to close her eyes, (then said) ‘Open them now!’ She freaked out. She was traumatized and ran to her room… She was like, ‘Oh no! I don’t want to go out there!’ I was trying to help her and she said, ‘Well, it’s his face!’”

However Cox, who is married to David Arquette, admits Coco wasn’t the only one with a crush on Efron.

She jokes, “I looked at Zac and I was like, he’s hot. I was so attracted to him, but I ran into the room (to console Coco).”

Vanessa Hudgens’ Bandslam co-stars are sick of the negativity aimed at the actress following her recent nude photo scandal – insisting she gets bullied because she is dating heart-throb Zac Efron.

The 20 year old was left shame-faced again this month after pictures – allegedly showing the star posing topless – were leaked on the internet.

She faced further humiliation at the Teen Choice Awards in Los Angeles on Sunday when Dane Cook took the stage and told the whole audience that Hudgens needed to “keep” her clothes on.

Despite fans booing the funnyman at the event in support of the star, online forums have been buzzing with teenage critics of Hudgens’ antics. And her co-stars in latest movie Bandslam are tired of seeing their pal slated online – insisting she is a “sweet girl” who has done nothing wrong.

Actor Charlie Saxton says, “It’s so totally uncool. It’s like, come on. Give me a break. She’s such a sweet person, such a nice girl. She really doesn’t deserve all the negativity that she’s getting.”

And fellow actress Aly Michalka believes the negative comments stem from jealousy about her relationship with hunk Efron.

She explains, “I think that it’s about people being hard on people just to be hard on them. It’s hard to avoid that sometimes… I think it really is based on that and I think maybe her being with Zac (Efron).”

Hudgens faced a similar scandal in 2007 when pictures of her posing provocatively both nude and in lingerie appeared online – forcing the Disney star to issue a public apology.

Matt Damon, move over: Zac Efron is onboard to star in what the Hollywood Reporter calls “a sexy thriller” and his launching pad from teen heartthrob to grownup leading man.

The High School Musical star, 21, will also executive produce the project, which so far doesn’t have a title. The screenplay is by Leslie Dixon, whose credits include The Thomas Crown Affair, Freaky Friday and Hairspray, which also starred Efron.
