Zac Efron at first did not get the part of Link Larkin in hairspray because the director thought he had to much of a disney young teen look. Then zac got down on his knees and begged, he said he could die is hair and wear suits and l00k more sopisticated, and the director said ok i'll give you a call, an he did so he ended up beating out 200 other teen boys for the part! The movie comes out July 20th and the CD soundtrack comes out July 10th. Make sure you go to the movies and watch the blue-eyed cutie!!!!!
