In a statement, she acknowledged Efron's journey from a Disney Channel star to a versatile actor who has tackled diverse and compelling roles. "What a way to end our year of star ceremonies with this very popular and gifted actor!" Martinez exclaimed.
Efron's career took off in the early 2000s, with guest appearances in TV shows like ER and Firefly. However, it was his breakout role as Troy Bolton in the Disney Channel's High School Musical that catapulted him to stardom. Since then, Efron has ventured into major motion pictures, leaving an indelible mark with hits like Hairspray, 17 Again, and Bad Neighbours.
The actor's latest project, the A24 biopic Iron Claw, sees him portraying professional wrestler Kevin Von Erich.
