Zac, who has been dating Vanessa since they met on the set of High School Musical, believes his girlfriend distracts him from the temptations of fame.

‘It helped me through quite a bit,’ he said. ‘There are myriad distractions to fall into in this business.’

‘To have someone to share with and to relate to is a very valuable gift.’
