Efron - Has spoken about his awful first audition

Actor Zac Efron has spoken about his first audition, saying that it was the "worst audition ever".

Speaking at a press conference for his new movie 'Me and Orson Welles', the 22-year-old actor said: "My first audition ever was for this 'Peter Pan' live action show when I was 15 and I'd just done the play Peter Pan so I thought 'who could be better'."

"I showed up and it was on tape in this tiny room. On stage you speak to the back of the room and you project and Peter Pan is very animated and jumping off things and going crazy so that's what I did in the audition, running around and jumping off my chair, singing the lines."

"This woman interrupted me and goes 'you've never done this before have you?' and I went 'no' and she went 'okay you can go' and that was the worst audition ever, ever in my life. I kind of wept about that one."
