The 20-year-old actor – who plays basketball player Troy Bolton in the Disney franchise – admits he “ate it” while filming a scene where he danced in a revolving hallway.
He said: “We had always talked about doing a scene in a revolving setting and then one day I walked in and there was a revolving hallway. It was like a square inside a big hamster wheel. I got there and the crew said, ‘OK, let’s go!’ I was like, ‘I haven’t rehearsed yet guys!’
“So Kenny Ortega, the director, told me to rehearse it but also filmed it at the same time. It was crazy! I fell over a few times. At one point it reversed direction and I wasn’t ready – I ate it then!”
Zac – whose character Troy goes to his senior prom with his on-screen and real life girlfriend Vanessa Hudgens – also revealed he was determined to find a unique outfit for his own senior prom.
He added to BANG Showbiz: “I really wanted to go to my prom in a vintage tuxedo. So I looked everywhere, and eventually got one from Goodwill, a charity store in the US.
“But it didn’t work at all and I ended up looking terrible!”
High School Musical 3: Senior Year is released worldwide later this month.
