Zac Efron, an actor best known for his work in cheerful, youth-skewing movie musicals, admits he felt a bit out of place when he showed up for training to play a U.S. Marine in the romantic drama, "The Lucky One."
Helmed by writer-director Scott Hicks and based on Nicholas Sparks' bestselling novel, the film co-stars Taylor Schilling, Blythe Danner, Jay R. Ferguson, Riley Thomas Stewart and Adam LeFevre. In it, Zefron plays Logan Thibault, a U.S. Marine sergeant, who returns from his third tour of duty in Iraq with the one thing he credits with keeping him alive -- a photograph he found of a beautiful woman he is now determined to meet.
Asked at a recent Los Angeles press conference what he did to prepare for the part, the 24-year-old California native replied: "A lot of physical training for the role. A lot of hanging out with Marines and Navy SEALs."
