Zac Efron Revisits His Insane Childhood Hair With Jimmy Fallon

Every morning, I wake up hoping that this day will be the day my imaginary boyfriend, Zac Efron, will do something related to style or beauty so that I might write about him.

I’m pleased to announce that today is that day. Dreams really can come true!

While on the promotional circuit for his new movie, Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising, my beautiful Efron stopped by The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon — where the host had some delicious surprises awaiting him: A photo of a gap-toothed Zef in the eighth grade with a crimped, center-parted bowl cut, as well as matching wigs for the two of them to wear during the segment.

Efron explained that his former fancy ’do was the result of a makeover by some older girls at an arts-themed summer camp. “I thought I was awesome,” he recalled. “Anything they told me, I said ‘yes.’”

Hmm … wonder if he still has a thing for “mature” women? (Disclosure: I am five months older than Zac Efron.)

If, for some reason, you too would like to channel Baby Zac Efron, there are loads of nostalgia-inducing crimping irons available to buy online, most for less than $40.
