Zac Efron has spoken about his new beard.

Zac, who is currently in London promoting new flick Charlie St Cloud, spoke about the inspiration behind his new beard.

It turns out the facial fuzz, which is kind of growing on us – so to speak, was inspired by The Hangover actor Zach Galifianakis.

“I want to keep growing it so I look as cool as him,” the 22-year-old said.

“It could be for a role, I’m not sure we’ll see what the director thinks.”
