Zac Efron To Die In 'High School Musical 2'

Zac Efron

Hollywood's newest and cutest actor Zac Efron is about to get the boot from 'High School Musical.' Efron's character, Troy will take his own life in the upcoming “High School Musical 2.”

“As with many epic trilogies, we decided to go in a dark direction for the second installment,” said Disney Channel president Gary Marsh.

What did Efron have to say about it? “I’ll admit that I was shocked when I first read the script,” he said. “But I trust Kenny 100 percent and I’m confident this movie will be just as fun for our viewers as the first one while at the same time making them think about important issues like suicide, drug use, and gay statutory rape.”

Troy may be headed to the dark side, but Zac isn't going anywhere, I'm sure we're going to be seeing a lot more of this cutie on the big screen. He's so yummy, I have a schoolgirl crush on him.

Update: Pheww...that was a close one. It turns out these reports are false. Considering there's a "High School Musical 3" in the works, I'm sure they wouldn’t have killed off the high school heartthrob.

this is so not true. young kids watch this movie. from 1st graders to their parents. this is one movie where there no kissing or drug use in high school. i doubt they'll troy will kill himself because then all those kids watching are learning from it. get your facts people its disney channel not lifetime.

Yeah really .. not true.. beacause Zac was also talking about being in HSM3.. What a HUGE lie. I mean yeah tiny tiny kids watch this movie. Plus its a Disney orignal. LIE LIE LIE!

This is so not true! High School Musical 2 is all about the wildcats trying to get summer jobs for college while trying to balance out friendships! This is soooo not true! do not belive this whatsoever! Besides, Disney would never put anything like that into an Original Movie! They try to make these movies inspire kids and that is not inspiring!

Suicide, drug use and gay statutory rape in a Disney movie? Please get real!!!!
Posted by: Tasha on 08/13/2007 10:44 AM



'suicide, drug use, and gay statutory rape' - haha, funny! 'schoolgirl crush on him' - yeah, well... you're not the only one!
Posted by: Joanna [Poland] on 08/13/2007 10:55 AM



This is completely untrue. I don't know who wrote this article but they are retarded. The movie is avaiable on Disney on Demand (friend's child saw it already) and she said that all the supposed "facts" in this article are FALSE. The movie is completely fine for all ages.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH. even if it isn't true, it's funny.

How can you idiots possibly believe this load of bull? seriously, check your facts. hahahha rape, suicicde???? on the DISNEY channel? yeah, okay.

Oh come on. This is a disney flick not Rent. Parents freaked out when they heard that The Little Mermaid had dicks painted in the castle, and the word sex in The Lion King. Do you know what they will do if this was true? and does he die from getting ass fucked?

Bwagagagaga! Read the last part of the article: "Update: Pheww...that was a close one. It turns out these reports are false." You're damn right they are. Where the hell are you getting these "Reports" from? Good god I'm afraid for you. Not only are you foolishly gullible, but you're probably smoking crystal meth. Lay down the needle for a few days and catch up on your sleep. Oh yeah and your dogs probably dry heaving right now because he hasn't eaten in 3 days. :) Hugs

Lmao Lies!!!!!!
Posted by: Alx on 08/14/2007 03:22 AM



My bad- whether thru a needle or a pipe meth is meth. Also, a trilogy usually means 3 movies. If T-boy dies in #2, then #3 would be a waste of mula. And you basically admitted that yourself. One more reason why 6th graders (or meth heads?) shouldn't be writing our hollywood headlines.

Posted by: Herlinda on 08/22/2007 07:48 PM



Pfft. LIE! He won't die, if he did there wouldn't be a Highschool Musical 3. Well, it probably wouldn't be very entertaining. I don't like Zac Efron though. Little kids would also be watching this, would they really want to display on national televison somebody suiciding? They only said that to get more viewers. >.<
