Zac Efron Explains Stripper Shenanigans on ‘Jimmy Kimmel’ (VIDEO)
Zac Efron boldly went where few stars of his age or genre would on Wednesday, admitting on Jimmy Kimmel Live that he did indeed partake in a few quality hours at a New York City strip club.
In a Page Six report that had our commenters in a tizzy on Wednesday, Efron reportedly dropped $2,000 on strippers and vodka with his High School Musical pal Corbin Bleu. Kimmel’s first question was about the report, and Efron calmly and confidently copped to his Flashdancer’s escapade. After a “yes, yes I was” answer to Kimmel’s inquisition about whether he actually was there, Efron joked about his preconceived notion of what a strip club would be like.
I had this image of what it would be like… I’ve heard a lot about these places, mostly from rap music. They’re supposed to be beautiful. I envisioned myself on a couch with stunner shades and T-Pain and Usher, and it just wasn’t like that. Those guys weren’t there.

Efron then joked that he didn’t spend $2,000 as reported, kidding that it was actually $6,000. He then continued to say that the most challenging part of his night out was letting girlfriend Vanessa Hudgens know what he was up to.
The hardest part is calling your girlfriend before. It’s like, how do you even start that conversation?
Ultimately though, Hudgens trusted Zac and, according to Efron, “was fine with it.”
Kimmel and Efron then got down to business, talking about his new movie, Charlie St. Cloud, which opens this weekend. Watch a little Cloud feature, why don’t ya?

WHAT?
Naughty boy…
At least vanessa was alright with it.
Very stand up of him to let her know first
He got Vanessa’s permission to go and when he went he didnt even do anything. He also said when he was there he was on the phone with Vanessa the whole time.
So not only did Vanessa know about it BEFORE, but she was talking to him while he was there.
Congrats to Zac & vanessa for trusting each other :)
Zanessa Forever :]
Something about him still dosen’t sit right with me I mean i just look at him everytime and shake my head and something just goes in my mind idk?? Anyways Vanessa is a good gf she is very trustworthy and know she can trust people!
he fuc*ing change.. I mean ashley is 25 and she is not like him.. he changed.. nope he did not change.. he was into this image always it just now he shows his real face.. it really sad.. but all fu*king former disney stars are like him.. britney.. miley.. lindsay.. && more
he called vanessa beforehand” wow zac’s so rare sometimes … for some reason I think he’s very manipulator with vanessa …whatever my point is that he put words in vanessa’s mouth and when he called her and tell his little adventure in the strip club ”FIRST TIME” (boys stuff )and she OBVIOUSLY forgive him ..it’s ok he has courage and looks like the relationship is based on trust and love blah blah blah but did he know how she felt .. superficially but what about the feelings
im a vanessa’s fan even zanessa but sometimes i think vanessa’s smooth
vanessa’s a great girl …but sometimes she act very soft .For me she should put a stop becuse say to everything that is fine or it’s OK is very dangerous
I think he is lying what girl would you know would say that it was ok he got busted and now he is trying to do damage control Zac Efron is a liar and I feel sorry for Vanessa he even thinks it is funny and it is not he just embarassed her to the world and now she is stuck saying she is ok with it. How many times does he have to embarass her with these women. I bet he is the one who leaked her nudes to the press it was him she sent it to I know he is the only boyfriend she has had but its time to break up and find a guy who will respect her.

If he would have been the one who posted those photos of her wouldn’t have she broken up with him???. Boys are like that.They say sh*t like that to mess around. Hes just messing around. I like the fact that hes growing up from Disney.

I kind of agree with you. He’s becoming…weird.
what ever, if he think go to the strip club is cool, oh my…one word LAME
well all i gotta say is zacs a man, he can afford it and vanessas lucky he didint hook up with one them, strippers can be pretty damn sexy
I cannot stand zac efron now at all! He is always making a joke out of every single thing that’s not even funny! I mean come on Knowing Vanessa she probably wouldst say Ok it’s fine! I REALLY HOPE VANESSA HAS AN INTERVIEW BECASUE I NEED TO HEAR HER SAY ON THIS! ACTUALLY IN MY OPINION VANESSA YOU ARE A SMART, TALENTED, BEAUTFUL, OUTGOING, FUNNY, GREAT PERSONALITY PERSON AND U DERSERVE A NEW BOYFRIEND AND A GUY THAT CAN TREAT U RITE!
[quote=brooke]what ever, if he think go to the strip club is cool, oh my…one word LAME[/quote] He doesnt he said he didsnt like it and he respects her HELLO they been dating for 5 YEARS and they are still 2geather so she must have known!!!!!!
He is a grown man and Vanessa is a grown woman. If he wants to experience things like this he has every right to. A relationship between adults is not supposed to be a restrictive fantasyland like it is when you are in High School. People who are not confident and secure drag each other down and destroy bonds that are meant to last. I think the problem with most of the people posting on this is that they are too young to have a true idea about relationships. If he and his mate agreed to his exploration it is none of your business, period. He is not married to her, and even if he were married, he is certainly not owned, he has a right to make the decision to watch women dance. If a man can not go to a club, then what is he allowed to do in your minds? Can he watch R rated movies when his significant other is not around? Can he have lunch in a pub? Can he go to a bar with friends? Can he go to a rock concert? Can he do press tours and red carpet events where 3,000 women are screaming his name and offering hotel keys? I think that if Vanessa was as paranoid and judgmental as most of you she would have lost Zac years ago.
it’s not like I support men to strip club
but before wedding day most men come to strip
what big deal of this
Frankly, I don’t see what the problem is, and can’t say it would bother me if my boyfriend mentioned that he was going to a strip club (yes, it’s happened, and no, it wasn’t a big deal). So I don’t think Zac was lying about informing his girlfriend, and she looks like she has sense enough to know that just going to a strip club is not a huge deal.
what a liar. the real reason he went to the strip club is cause he was looking for his whore girlfriend vanessa slutgens

Slutgens? lol haven’t heard that one in a while, grow up

I guess u expect all the Disney stars to act the way they act on TV, but that’s just acting — its not really them.

I totally agree with you. Zac can do what ever he wants to do because Vanessa doesn’t own him and if this situation was switched, Zac would be okay with Vanessa going. They don’t own eachother. PLus they are grown adults.

I completely agree with you. All these immature little girls commenting on here need to remember that Zac and Vanessa are grown-ups; they’ll do as they please and just because they started out with Disney does not mean they need to be rainbows and gumdrops for the rest of their careers. Men go to strip clubs, women go to strip clubs, welcome to adulthood. At least he had the decency of calling her beforehand and why should she have a problem with it? As long as he looks but doesn’t touch, it’s all good. It’s fun to let loose and do stuff like this once in a while, but the stupid little 12 yr olds who think they have a monopoly on Zac and Vanessa are all butthurt because they’re being adults. Get over yourselves and grow up.
