Zac Efron struggles to remember 'High School Musical' tune

Published April 04, 2016

It's officially been too long since "High School Musical." Especially if you're Zac Efron, apparently.

The 27-year-old actor, who starred in the wildly popular 2006 Disney movie was asked by Cosmopolitan UK to name a song from it, and his attempt at guessing it is just as hilarious as it is disappointing!

If you remember, there's a classic scene where Efron (Troy Bolton) and his real-life ex and on-screen love Vanessa Hudgens (Gabriella Montez) sing "Breaking Free" to their peers.

But just because he sang it doesn't mean he can remember the catchy song's title.

At a junket for his upcoming film "We Are Your Friends" with director Max Joseph and co-star Emily Ratajkowski, Efron guesses "Soaring Free" and "Take a Chance" before he finally gets it right when the "Breaking Free" lyric starts. And even though it took him about 22 seconds to answer correctly, he does make a fair point.

"There's three movies of songs guys!" Efron said in his defense.

So while he may not be able to "break free" from this moment , he did redeem himself by correctly guessing "Macarena" right away.

Just don't ask him to name Robin Thicke's "Blurred Lines" either.
