Zac Efron has revealed that he is open to more on-screen nudity in the future.

The actor appeared naked in comedy film That Awkward Moment earlier this year, and recalls that it was a “weird day of filming”.

Speaking to Metro about his planking scene in the film (picture below), Zac said: “All I could think was that in real life, I would not use that technique – I think there are other ways around it. That was a weird day of filming.

“My co-star Miles Teller’s bathroom was very small but mine was an elevated toilet in the middle of a room with nothing around it – it was just built for this one reason. So I was planking in a huge room full of people, with everyone watching, which was really awkward.

The former Disney star said that he has no problem with getting naked for roles, as long as there is a “specific reason for it”.

“If it is authentic and necessary and helps the story, than there is nothing I wouldn’t try,” he admitted.
