Zac Efron Joined Tinder, But No One Swiped Right

Love is hard to find, you guys. When you have no prospects IRL and your friends haven’t delivered when it comes to set-ups, many of us turn to dating apps—yes, even celebs… even everybody’s #1 heartthrob, Zac Efron. He recently revealed that he joined Tinder—but literally nobody swiped right.

“Why tho?” -Zac Efron, probably

In a recent interview with The Times, Zac discussed everything from his evolving acting career to his love life. Since breaking up with Sami Miro, Zac explained that he’s had quite a bit of trouble in the relationship department. 

“Amazingly, when I signed up for Tinder, nobody swiped me!” Zac said. Let’s be honest, his looks clearly aren’t the problem. But Zac Efron? Too good to be true. “They thought [my profile] was fake,” he added.

Fake profile or not, we probably would have swiped right if a photo of Zac showed up. Even though most fans would jump at the opportunity to date Zac, or even breathe the same air as him, the 28-year-old claimed that it’s difficult for a person like him to find someone genuine. 

“Dating is something I’ll never be able to do,” Zac said. (Literally, we’re crying rn.) “As in the dictionary definition of dating… A date has to be very long to dispel whatever people think of me.”

A very long date with Zac Efron? We’re game—just tell us when and where.
