STORY: Zac Efron's fans went wild at the European premiere of his new movie, The Lucky One in London on Monday (April 23, 2012). Efron built a solid fan base when starring as schoolboy Troy Bolton in the High School Musical film franchise. However since leaving the series in 2008, Efron has chosen more serious roles. In his latest film he plays a marine who returns from a tour of duty in Iraq to search for a beautiful woman. In order to take on the role Efron trained with a Navy SEAL for five months and gained 17 pounds of muscle, a transformation he admitted that was hard work. Actress Taylor Schilling joined Efron on the red carpet. The rising star plays Efron's love interest. She said he was a "true gentleman to work with" but revealed she does not enjoy watching their romantic scenes. "The Lucky One" opens in the UK on May 2.
