Zac Efron, 'I Do A Cannonball Every Day'

Zac Efron featured in the new issue of PARADE. Behind the scenes & Charlie St. Cloud screening video under. On going to Maui with his brother: '[I] kicked off the summer by taking my little brother, Dylan, on a graduation trip to Hawaii He's going to college next year, and I've been working very hard, so we haven't been able to see each other as much as we would have liked to in the past..

..few years. We hiked through the inner jungle in Maui, and you come across these really beautiful spots. We found this hidden place where there was an enormous waterfall and cliff jump. It was about a thirty-five foot drop.' On taking the plunge:

'Once you've done it, the funny part is trying to convince someone else to jump off, too. I'm the one who's always saying, 'Go for it, go for it, jump!' And then when you come up out of the water, you feel fantastic.. The first thing I do every morning is cannonball into the pool. It’s the best way to wake up.'

What is he up to this summer? 'I really want to hit a national park this summer. I’m a big fan of Bear Grylls and Man vs. Wild. I like to backpack, filter my own water, make a fire. But I bring packaged food, I’m not setting squirrel traps.. Vanessa is playing Mimi in Rent at the Hollywood Bowl in August. It’s the role of a lifetime for her. The song ‘Out Tonight’ is Vanessa in a nutshell, she loves to have fun. She’s a good partner in crime.'
