...though he's now of legal drinking age, Efron is 17 again. Not that it's a stretch for him to play someone four years younger. He still has the mop top, the downy skin and the sensuous sanctity of the boy every mother wants her daughter to bring home - if he weren't dating his dimpled co-star from High School Musical, Vanessa Hudgens.
