Zac Efron becomes the latest A-List celebrity to start vlogging on YouTube Zach Efron, YouTubeYouTube\u2019s list of celebrity creators continues to grow, as \u2018High School Musical\u2019 star and A-List actor Zac Efron has made a surprising debut on the platform. Efron uploaded his very first vlog to the website on March 30 using YouTube\u2019s \u2018Premier\u2019 streaming feature, where he spent 96 hours in a desert to \u201cunplug\u201d from society. In the vlog, Zac and crew took on a series of fun activities, including flyboarding, hiking, and good, old fashioned outdoor cooking. The vlog appears to be the first in a series titled, \u2018Off the Grid,\u2019 suggesting that other such traveling videos and \u201cunplugged\u201d experiences are to come soon after. In fact, the description of Efron\u2019s vlog teased a weekly upload schedule; although the Premier archive isn\u2019t currently available, Efron even answered fan questions ahead of the video\u2019s release, further cementing social media\u2019s unique ability to engage with an audience. My new @YouTube channel is live! Come join me at 9:00am PST \u2013 I\u2019ll be answering questions until the first video, \u201cOff the Grid\u201d drops. pic.twitter.com\/adKRCHlmMs \u2014 Zac Efron (@ZacEfron) March 30, 2019 Efron isn\u2019t the first celebrity to have taken YouTube by storm, either; the actor follows in the footsteps of \u2018Fresh Prince\u2019s\u2019 Will Smith, who uploaded his first vlog to the platform in December of 2017. Smith made further waves on the platform with his viral bungee jumping video in September 2018, where he jumped out of a helicopter over the Grand Canyon in an effort to face his biggest fear. Actor and comedian Jack Black likewise made a splash on the site shortly thereafter, with his now-famous \u2018JablinskiGames\u2019 channel inspired by his son, which already boasts over four million subscribers as of March 30. Efron\u2019s YouTube debut follows his controversial role in upcoming film \u2018Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile,\u2019 which chronicles the crimes of serial killer Ted Bundy from the perspective of his girlfriend. Zac\u2019s role in the film caused a stir across the online space, with many taking issue that filmmakers had cast the good-looking actor for the role \u2013 with others arguing that the film shouldn\u2019t have ever been made in the first place, fearing that it could glorify and even inspire future serial murderers. While Efron has yet to Tweet out more information regarding his newfound hobby, fans can expect more content from the actor on a weekly basis in the near future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
