Zac Efron Flashes His Undies, Drops Out of 'Footloose' Remake
"High School Musical" leading man Zac Efron is in Paris, France to promote his latest flick "17 Again". Before the actor gives journalists the scoop of his new film, he is snapped flashing his underwear.

Zac is greeted by crowds of fans while leaving his hotel in the City of Lights. Unfortunately, the 21-year-old hunk, who is currently dating co-star Vanessa Hudgens, reveals his white underpants as he ducks into his waiting car.

In other Zac Efron news, the actor has pulled out of the musical remake of "Footloose". However, the "Hairspray" star has yet to publicly address his reasons for dropping out of the film.

"Footloose is a project we've longed to see re-booted for a new generation. While Zac is no longer attached, we remain excited and committed to the collective brain trust of [director] Kenny Ortega, [producers] Neil Meron and Craig Zaden, who will reinvigorate the franchise," a Paramount Pictures rep said in a statement. "Their fresh take on the film will undoubtedly be filled with the same kind of breakout performances that we've come to expect from them."
