Kidman, 44, showed off her elegant side in a stunning rose-colored gown — a nice compliment to the blood-orange dress she wore earlier Thursday at the Paperboy photo call.

Who else showed up for the premiere?

Meanwhile, the hunky Efron, 24, classed it up in a simple black-and-white tuxedo.

The Paperboy, which is set to be released sometime this year, is director Lee Daniels’ first film since his Oscar-winning Precious, in 2009, and tells the story of two men (Efron, Matthew McConaughey) who help a sexy woman (Kidman) get her pen pal (John Cusack) off of death row.

The reaction from critics out of Cannes has been mostly divided. (More on that here.)

Before this actor made ladies swoon in rom-coms and beyond, he too was just a little tyke playing dress up. Looks like he’s always had the acting bug!

Any guess as to who it could be?

We’ll give you a hint — it’s his birthday today, and he has two different movies coming out this summer. Still don’t know? Put on your thinking cap, and play our guessing game in the gallery!

During summer 2010, the 25-year-old actor stepped out at the LA premiere of The Twilight Saga: Eclipse in a stylish maroon tux, and a number of hot Hollywood fellas have since followed suit — literally! During the 2011 Cannes Film Festival, Ryan Gosling, 31, also hit the red carpet in a maroon tux, while Andrew Garfield, 28, did the same for the Kids’ Choice Awards in March. Now, the latest star to rock a maroon suit is Zac Efron! The 24-year-old actor was seen sporting the trendy look at the German premiere of his movie The Lucky One on Wednesday.

Now, once you’re done drooling over these guys, the real question is — who looks best in this swoon-worthy style?

It’s R-Pattz vs. Ry-Gos vs. A-Garf vs. Zefron!

Sound off one who looks best by casting your vote in the poll, and standing by your man in the comments!

The two big films going up against each other this week in our battle are The Lucky One and Think Like a Man.  One is a romance drama and the other is a relationship comedy.

Both very different films, so let’s break the battle down!

First up we have The Lucky One, which is based on a Nicholas Sparks novel and stars Zac Efron! The story revolves around a soldier in Iraq who finds a photo of a woman which he believes to be his good luck charm throughout his three tours of duty.  When he returns home, he seeks to find the woman in the picture and finds that luck has turned to love.

On the opposite side of the battle we have the comedy Think Like a Man which is based on the book by Steve Harvey. The hilarious story finds a group of friends who begin to realize that the women in their lives are beginning to beat them at their own game.  The ladies have gotten their hands on a book which is teaching them how to act like a lady, but think like a man.  Needless to say, the guys are not too happy about this! The movie stars Kevin Hart, Gabrielle Union, and Taraji P. Henson.  Check out the hilarious trailer below!

Which of these two flicks will you head to the theater to check out this weekend? Will you go to check out Zac’s buffed up bod or the ladies beat the guys at their own game? Let us know in the comments!

The hunky (yes, we can call him hunky now) actor, now 24, has matured very quickly in the last couple of years as he sets aside his days of singing in the gymnasium and enters leading-man territory.

In honor of Zac’s latest film, The Lucky One, in which he plays an Iraq War veteran who falls for another soldier’s woman, we’re taking a look back at Zac’s red carpet evolution.

Check it out in our gallery now, then be sure to see The Lucky One, in theaters.

Well, thanks to Jimmy Kimmel, we now know that answer! The 24-year-old actor stopped by Jimmy Kimmel Live! on Monday evening to promote his latest film The Lucky One, and the late night host put Zac’s unique skill to the test. Last week, it was revealed in an interview with an Australian news outlet, that Zac possesed the talent of being able to unhook a bra with one hand, so Jimmy took it up a notch by requiring Zac to remove four bras, one after the other.

So, how did he fair?

Though he had to use both hands for this particular challenge, he didn’t disappoint, and ended up beating Jimmy!

That’s a skill he can take to the bank!

Check out the hilarious video above!

For more on Zac at the LA premiere of The Lucky One, (which took place Monday evening) watch the video below.

While promoting his latest film, The Lucky One, the 24-year-old actor and one of the Australian interviewers got on the topic of bra removal, (since there’s a scene in the movie where Zac’s character does just that) and the High School Musical star showed off this accquired skill.

Talk about a smooth operator!

In addition to Zac’s bra removal tutorial, he was also spotted at The Lorax premiere last month, dropping a condom on the red carpet.

We wonder what his rumored gal pal Lily Collins thinks about all this?

Watch the video above for Zac’s full tutorial.

On Saturday, cameras caught the hunky actor shirtless and wearing very, very, very low pants on the balcony of his hotel — not a bad sight, if you ask us.

Well, today, Zefron — who is currently on the cover of Men’s Health – wore a bit more clothing to the Sydney premiere of his new movie The Lucky One. Dressed in a perfectly cut silver suit, the 24-year-old actor looked both classically handsome and fashion-forward. Ryan Gosling, eat your heart out!

Based on the novel by Nicholas Sparks, The Lucky One opens nationwide on April 20.

In the meantime, check out Zac looking hotter than ever in Sydney!

On Saturday, The Lucky One star was seen kicking back at his Sydney hotel in very low-riding trousers. As if the sight of his Calvin Klein boxers wasn’t enough to make the ladies swoon, Zac also stripped down on his balcony before relaxing in the sun sans shirt.

Talk about an eye-candy overload!

However, despite possessing some serious abs, the 24-year-old actor says that he doesn’t think of himself as a heartthrob. Do you agree? Check out more of shirtless Zac then weigh in in the comments below.

Not only is the 24-year-old successful in his acting career, but he has millions of adoring fans, and has managed to date some pretty cute girls along the way, including Vanessa Hudgens and Lily Collins. However, in a recent interview with Women’s Health, the High School Musical star admitted there is something in life that he wish he had to the chance to do.

Any guesses?

When asked what his biggest regret was, Zac replied: “Not going to college.”

Zac graduated high school in 2006 (the same year High School Musical shot him to superstardom) and was already accepted to both USC and UCLA, and ultimately deferred enrollment to USC. However, Zac hasn’t really had to time to go to college, considering he’s starred in two HSM sequels, as well as a string of box office hits including Hairspray, 17 Again, and The Lorax. In addition to those films, you can catch Zac in The Lucky One, which hits theaters on April 20.

Also, believe it or not, Zac still has a sense of humor when it comes to his Disney days! When the mag asked how he would approach a beautiful woman, he replied, “‘So do you like High School Musical?’ I’m kidding! If the situation’s right, buy someone a drink. Think on your toes, use what’s around you, and come up with something organic and fun.”

We love that he gave such an honest answer!

Do you think Zac should have gone to college? Or are you glad that he kicked off his acting career? Sound off in the comments!

The Lucky One star graces the cover of Men’s Health magazine for its May issue, and has definitely come a long way since his High School Musical days! Flaunting his beefy arms, the 24-year-old’s cover was posted on the Facebook page of Men’s Health for a nice little preview, even though it doesn’t hit stands until April 17.

In a recent interview with MTV, it was brought up that Zac Efron‘s name had been tossed around to play Finnick Odair, easily one of the most coveted parts for CF, and the 24-year-old High School Musical star said he knew nothing about a deal being made. However, he did mention that he had read the first book and was looking forward to seeing Hunger Games in theaters.

Sure, filming for Catching Fire likely won’t start until the end of summer, and we won’t even see it hit the big screen until November 2013, but that doesn’t mean we can start doing some casting on our own! Celebuzz asked our Facebook readers who they’d like to see take on the role of Finnick, and we got some great answers!

If you haven’t read Catching Fire or have no idea who Finnick Odair is let us break it down for you:

Finnick is a handsome young man from District 4 who won the 65th annual Hunger Games when he was only 14 years old, which makes him about 24 when Catching Fire takes place. He is extremely confident and has a reputation for being quite the ladies man, and mentions his lovers pay him in “secrets.” Katniss (Jennifer Lawrence) comes across him when (spoiler alert!) they must fight against each other in the Quarter Quell, which pits former 24 victors against each other to celebrate the Hunger Games’ 75th anniversary.

That being said, these were some suggestions made by Celebuzz’s readers:

Krissy D. said: jake gyllenhaal!

Maddie A. said: Jensen Ackles or Garrett Hedlund please!

Leah W. said: Totally kellan lutz would be better. I see finnick to be all muscle.

So many choices! We put together some of the best contenders in the gallery above!

What do you guys think? Who is the best fit to play Finnick? Keep the debate going in the comments!

Can you guess who this adorable teen grew up to be?

It’s Ben Stiller, of course!

According to the poster, the pic was snapped around 1978. The snapshot was taken after Ben and his father, Seinfeld actor Jerry Stiller, caught a Broadway show together in New York City.  

It looks like acting runs in the family after all! Test out your celebrity knowledge and click through the gallery above to play “Guess Who” with more celebrity childhood photos.

21 Jump Street finally hits theaters today, which stars the sexy Channing Tatum and the adorable Jonah Hill as undercover cops, and this got us thinking about all those other stars who fought crime on the big screen.

So, who are some of our fave (Hollywood) men in blue?

Zac Efron dressed as one for Halloween, while Jake Gyllenhaal will star as one in the upcoming film, End of Watch.

Who is your favorite? Sound off in the comments!

The hunky actor ditched his motorcycle jacket for more of a casual look on the red carpet, wearing a gray shirt, khakis and tan shoes. We like!

Zac has plenty of reason to be happy, despite the fact that he, you know, dropped a condom on the red carpet a few weeks ago: The Lorax opened to a shocking $70.7 million over the weekend.

The hunky actor, who recently made headlines after he dropped a condom at a movie premiere, looked sexy as ever in a jean jacket, beanie and white t-shirt (though we’ll admit, his best accessory was that cup of Jamba Juice).

Zac’s new animated movie, The Lorax, stunned at the box office over the weekend, raking in over $70 million.

]]> He’s only 24, but Zac Efron still likes to rock to the oldies. The actor admitted to late night host Conan O’Brien that he and his friends liked to sing the Beach Boys on the streets of France. Upon this confession, Conan thought it only right that the two of them, with the help of La Bomba, break out into song (about 5:30 minutes into video). 

Zac and Conan decided to do their best rendition of “Barbara Ann”, and Conan was in charge of hitting the high notes.

Zac made another more shocking confession to TODAY anchor Matt Lauer this past week. He admitted that he did in fact drop a condom on the Dr. Suess’ The Lorax premiere red carpet. “I never really had a pocket-checking policy prior to going on the red carpet before, but now we fully instated one,” he joked.

You just never know what will fall out of his pocket next…

There was a time not so long ago when we never would have imagined such a sight. He’s no High School hottie any more — he’s all grown up! Yet, our feelings of nostalgia have gotten the best of us. What better timing than today’s Flashback Friday to look back at the moves that made him famous?

The Celebuzz staff took a poll and the office favorite is “Bet On It” from HSM2. The solo shows off Zac’s ability to effortlessly spin around in large grass fields, leap off rocks and dance with golf clubs — all while emoting his little heart out to the beat of the music! 

Zac Efron Through The Years

Most recently, he showed his skill for handling potentially embarrassing personal questions in the “condom gate” interview with Matt Lauer:

Zac talks about his cute costar Taylor Swift at The Lorax premiere:

Dr. Seuss’ The Lorax stars hottie Zac Efron,  Taylor Swift, Danny Devito and legend Betty White. With such fresh star power, will Lorax be able to take down a poetic Being Flynn–which stars Julianne Moore and Robert De Niro?

Swift and Efron lead the film in an environmental and anti-greed tale. According to IMDB, the premise entails a 12-year-old boy trying to win over a girl’s affections. Meanwhile, he must unravel the story of “The Lorax — the grumpy yet charming creature who fights to protect his world.”

Opposite that, we have Being Flynn–which is an adaption of Nick Flynn‘s famous memior “Another Bullshit Night in Suck City.” The emotional premise gives De Niro some real material to bite into. The premise on IMDB reads:

“Working in a Boston homeless shelter, Nick Flynn re-encounters his father, a con man and self-proclaimed poet. Sensing trouble in his own life, Nick wrestles with the notion of reaching out yet again to his dad.”

Check out both movie trailers embeded below. Let us know in the comments which flick you plan on seeing this weekend.

While walking the red carpet at the LA premiere of The Lorax recently, there was video captured of the dreamy star dropping what appeared to be a condom as he was taking something out of his pocket, and now Zac has confirmed that is indeed what happened.

TODAY‘s Matt Lauer asked the 24-year-old actor about it in an interview, so what did Zac have to say for himself?

The actor answered:

“I never really had a pocket-checking policy prior to going on the red carpet before, but now we fully instated one.”
