VOICE OVER: Emily Brayton
Script written by Spencer Sher

With piercing blue eyes, smoking hot body and that smile that could make ice melt in seconds, there was no way we couldn't document some of Zac Efron's hottest moments! We've included the many times he lifted his shirt on stage, when he sang in “High School Musical”, when he was manning the grill in “Neighbors” the flex off in “Dirty Grandpa” and more!

#10: Bet on It “High School Musical 2” (2007)

In the sequel to the film that made him a teenage heartthrob, Efron is given plenty of chances to show off his impressive singing abilities. However, “Bet On it” is a standout performance. Dressed all in black, and channeling his inner Footloose-era Kevin Bacon, he expresses himself not just in song, but also with some seriously passionate dance moves. It’s an emotional moment for the character, and Efron doesn’t hold back, angrily pumping his fists as he cuts across the immaculate greens of a New Mexico golf course. If there were any reservations as to whether or not Efron was destined to be a star, this steamy number put them to rest.

#9: Arriving for His First Day of School “17 Again” (2009)

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to have a second shot at high school? Efron plays the younger version of Mike O’Donnell, a man who is upset with how his life turned out and who is given a chance to turn back the clock. So when it is time to finally go back to school, Mike does so in style… with a little guidance from his more fashionable friend Ned. Pulling up in a beautiful Audi, Efron’s character coyly smiles at a couple of young ladies before putting on his leather jacket and walking away. Cool doesn’t do him justice in this scene… he is a straight-up smokin’ hot badass.

#8: Manning the Grill “Neighbors” (2014)

After many years of playing the good guy, Efron finally went bad in this hilarious comedy about a young couple and the feud they develop with their neighbors – a rambunctious fraternity. Efron plays Teddy Sanders, the fraternity’s leader. While the film provides him with plenty of opportunities to show off his impressive bod, including an impromptu modeling session with Seth Rogen’s character at the end of the movie, perhaps the most pause-worthy moment comes while he stands shirtless, manning a grill and drinking a king can of PBR. There is something about him in this scene that is just so damn hunky... it hurts. The scene is brief, but unforgettable.

#7: His Rendition of “Ladies’ Choice” “Hairspray” (2007)

His role in the 2007 big screen adaptation of this hit Broadway musical transported Efron to 1960s Baltimore…and boy does he look good sporting some greased back hair and a suit! Playing the role of Link Larkin, Efron is an absolute dreamboat. His best scene however, is easily when he sings “Ladies’ Choice” in front of a packed high school gymnasium. His natural gift for singing and dancing is on full display as he slides across the stage, handling the microphone with confidence and style! The character was reportedly based on legendary ladies man Elvis Presley, and with this performance, Efron does the King proud, in every way.

#6: The Flex Off “Dirty Grandpa” (2016)

Is there anything better than watching Zac Efron flexing his muscles on stage to the tune of a roaring crowd? How about him doing it while accompanied by Hollywood icon Robert De Niro? Such was the scene in this Efron-De Niro comedy. When the two men compete in a flex-off during spring break, the crowd can barely contain themselves. As the actors delve deeper into the competition, viewers are treated to a ripped Efron showing off his impressively chiseled physique in a variety of poses. Even the DJs fake fart noises couldn’t ruin this magical moment for us. Also… shoutout to De Niro, who’s got a seriously rockin’ bod for his age.

#5: A Shower for Two “The Lucky One” (2012)

In this romantic drama, Logan Thibault returns home from serving in Iraq to search for the unknown woman who served as his guardian angel. Efron earned a People’s Choice award for the role… one that also provided him with yet another chance to remind us why he is considered one of the hottest actors in the business. This scene got especially steamy. As Efron’s character washes his hands in an outdoor shower, his love interest Beth walks in and begins to kiss with purpose. The passion between the two actors is palpable, as they furiously make out underneath the flow of the showerhead. Anyone else feeling hot and bothered?

#4: Kissing Tess “Charlie St. Cloud” (2010)

In this film Efron plays the titular Charlie, a young man who is involved in a car crash that takes the life of his younger brother Sam. Devastated, Charlie is shocked to discover he can still see and interact with Sam. The film presented Efron with a chance to really flex his dramatic acting chops, and he doesn’t disappoint. But hey, we can appreciate his acting and his sex appeal - both which are on display when Charlie gets personal with his crush, Tess. In this slow building romantic scene, Efron’s every subtle movement is sexy. Before long, the pair is outside, their silhouettes stripping and kissing in the moonlight. Talk about a shiver-inducing cinematic moment.

#3: When He Won "Best Shirtless Performance" at the 2014 MTV Movie Awards

You know you’ve got it going on in the looks department when you win an award for “Best Shirtless Performance”. Efron took home the award for his role in the 2014 rom-com “That Awkward Moment”. While his scenes in that film were definitely steamy, they can’t compete with what happened on stage during the actual presentation. As he began his acceptance speech, presenter Rita Ora answered the prayers of fans everywhere when she ran up and ripped open his shirt, showcasing his insanely ripped body in person! Rather than getting bashful, Efron embraced the moment and took the shirt off entirely. Oh to be front row and center for that one.

#2: His Baywatch Transformation "Baywatch" (2017)

We suspect that the ever-hot Zac Efron may have been born with six pack abs and a gleaming set of pearly whites. But when the trailer for 2017’s “Baywatch” dropped, it became apparent that the heartthrob had clearly taken it to an entirely new level. In the film, Efron can only be described as a “sexy beast”, sporting two twin cannons for arms, a pair of tree trunks for legs and what we’re going to go ahead and call a mountain of a chest. He might not be as big as co-star, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, but he’s getting closer than we ever could have imagined. He can rescue us any time!

#1: Dancing All Oiled-Up “Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising” (2016)

While it may seem an impossible task for Efron to top himself one final time, he somehow manages to do so in this scene that is both sexy and hilarious. In an attempt to distract the young sorority women, Efron’s character, Teddy, rips off his shirt, gets oiled up, and performs a wicked dance routine. If that wasn’t already hot enough, he does so on stage, to the tune of a banging track while bursts of flames erupt behind him. It is only a matter of time before his pants come off, utterly captivating his crowd. While he ultimately takes it a little too far… everything up to that point is absolute perfection.
