'To be honest that would be a dream come true,' the '17 Again' admits in a recent interview with 2Day FM's Kyle and Jackie O Show.

Zac Efron apparently hasn't scrapped off any chance of him taking the Spider-Man role in the untitled Spider-Man reboot. Talking to 2Day FM's Kyle and Jackie O Show, the 22-year-old actor gushed, "To be honest that would be a dream come true. I haven't heard anything but of course any young actor would love to fill those shoes and they are big shoes to fill."

The Troy Bolton of the "High School Musical" series was among the young stars, including David Henrie and Logan Lerman, that have been linked to the gig. He previously sounded off similar remark. "I don't know what the chances are to be honest," he said at 2010 Critics' Choice Awards. "I assume they're pretty slim. It's a long-shot but if it came down to it, it'd be a dream come true. What young actor wouldn't?"

Beside talking about his wish, the boyfriend of Vanessa Hudgens also took the opportunity to shoot down speculation suggesting him returning to "HSM". "I don't know what else we could do, we graduated High School," he said. "It might be a bit redundant, we're a bit too old and pretty soon what's to stop us from doing Retirement Home Musical."

Making his big break with the "HSM" series, Zac Efron went on to star in a number of feature films. "Hairspray", "17 Again" and "Me and Orson Welles" are some of his movie credits. He will be seen portraying titular character in "Charlie St. Cloud", which will come out in the U.S. on October 15. He is also attached to "Jonny Quest".
