Zac Efron, Taylor Swift, Travis KelceThe power of Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's relationship has even reached Zac Efron.
Efron, 36, recently fielded a question from E! News about perceived similarities between 34-year-old Swift's relationship with Super Bowl champion and NFL star Kelce, also 34, and the plot of Efron's famous Disney movie High School Musical.
Efron rose to fame on the back of the 2006 Disney Channel musical, in which he played Troy Bolton, a high school basketball star who falls in love with fellow student Gabriella (Vanessa Hudgens). Gabriella is seen in the movies cheering on Troy during the team's basketball games, similar to Swift's presence at the recent Super Bowl in Las Vegas as Kelce's Kansas City Chiefs won the NFL championship.
"Wow, I didn't think about that," Efron, who was promoting his upcoming movie Ricky Stanicky, said. "That's really cool. Shout out to all the High School Musical fans."
