In one of his interviews, Zac Efron told about his father, that he had always been a supportive parent, who taught his son, what to do in various stressful situations. In his young years the future movie star suffered from a small height (he is 5 ft 8 in tall), which made him the worst basketball player in a school team. To help his son, David Efron built a basketball hoop in the back part of their yard and taught the son to do throws.

David is still alive. In his young years he worked as an electrical engineer. He has two sons – our today’s hero and his younger brother Dylan.  As for now, David is separated from the mother of his kids Starla Baskett.

Zac told just great words about his mother, but some of his friends defined a woman as “too controlling”.
