Rumors have been swirling that High School Musical hottie Zac Efron is in talks to take on Daniel Radcliffe’s naked role in the Broadway play Equus. People.com is reporting that this rumor is not true, with Zac Efron saying, “No, I think it’s a great role but I was not approached.”

Zac Efron will likely take on the Kevin Bacon role in the update of Footloose, however.

HSM director Kenny Ortega, who will also be directing the Footloose remake said, “Footloose is heavily in development and we’re hoping that perhaps next year it actually might be a reality. Obviously I would love nothing more than to do another project with Zac. I’m hopeful.”
