Sexy Zac Efron is on the cover of October's Teen Vogue, and inside they try to claim that this team star is all grown up. I'm laughing inside and out loud!

While Teen Vogue is not my first choice of reading, I do love drooling over Zac Efron.

Inside, the folks at Teen Vogue make a very unconvincing case that Efron is still the "coolest kid in town" while trying to prove himself as a legitimate actor.

Calling Zac a "triple threat," Teen Vogue says it is easy for Efron to play the popular kid because he really is one. That hardly makes him a good actor!

If growing up means playing a 17-year-old kid in "17 Again," then Zac is grown and ready to go.

“It was hard to play someone that I couldn’t relate to in the slightest,” Zac admits. “But the director taught me a lot about the art of acting, which I hadn’t been schooled in before. I’ve got a better understanding of what it means to be an actor now.”

For now though, he's got at least one more "High School Musical" on the way. When Efron is officially done with "HSM" then I might believe he's growing up.

Meanwhile, I'll just enjoy starring at him in whatever he does! If you want to grab a copy of Zac's Teen Vogue cover, pick it up September 9th.
