‘High School Musical’: Zac Efron, Vanessa Hudgens, & More — See The Original Stars Then & Now
High School Musical was just one of many Disney Channel Original Movies when it premiered on January 20, 2006. However, no one knew that the movie would become a worldwide phenomenon. Viewers fell in love with Troy, Gabriella, Sharpay, and more. The first movie was so popular it spawned a trilogy, a live tour, and a hit Disney+series. In the 15 years since the very first High School Musical movie was released, the stars of the DCOM have changed so much. Let’s take a look at the original High School Musical cast then and now!
Zac Efron
Over the years, he dated a bevy of beauties, including one of his HSM co-stars! (But more on that later.) Zac is now dating Australian model Vanessa Valladares, 33. They met at a cafe that Vanessa was working at while Zac was in Australia and they were seen together in Sept. 2020. Since then, they’ve become inseparable.
Vanessa Hudgens
The original cast of High School Musical reunited via Zoom in April 2020 to perform “We’re All In This Together.” Vanessa, Ashley Tisdale, 35, Corbin Bleu, 31, Lucas Grabeel, 36, Monique Coleman, 40, and HSM director Kenny Ortega, 70, came together to provide some joy on the Disney Family Singalong. They were joined by the High School Musical: The Musical: The Series and Zac, but he did not sing the HSM hit. Check out the gallery above to see how far the stars of High School Musical, including Zac and Vanessa, have come since their High School Musical days!
