Zac Efron Once Saved a Puppy While in His Underwear

Admit it, you’ve all fantasized about being Zac Efron’s neighbor. Like, have you SEEN him? We think he’d probably be one of the coolest neighbors, like, ever. Now, imagine looking out your window one day and seeing Zac running outside in his underwear. Yeah, that actually happened to his real-life neighbors one day—and we’re SO jealous. So why was Zac caught outside in his undergarments? Believe it or not, it was to save a dog’s life!     

In an interview to promote Neighbors 2, Zac Efron and Seth Rogen stopped by BuzzFeed to play a game of “Never Have I Ever” and chat about their upcoming sequel. The result? A hilarious story from Zac about the time he was caught walking around half-naked by his neighbors—because he was trying to rescue a stray puppy. *cue the awws* 

“I rescued a dog,” Zac said. Since we obviously needed him to elaborate on that important bit of information, he added, “He was a puppy and he got away…I just ran out in the yard to go save him, like in the street, in my underwear—I just woke up—and snagged him and was like, ‘No, don’t run away.'”

See, this is just further proof that Zac is a legitimate lifesaver. While Zac probably felt great about saving this dog’s life, his happiness was quickly dissipated by embarrassment, as Zac realized that his neighbors witnessed him running outside in his undies. “I looked up and my neighbor and his whole family were like, ‘Morning!’ I was like, ‘Hey! This is awkward. You have a lot of kids,'” he said. 

Let’s just make this reason number 454,833 why we ADORE Zac Efron.
