Have you ever had one of those moments where you think, This can’t really be happening; this is just a bad dream? For celebrities those moments usually come in the form of a wardrobe malfunction or sex tape, but for Disney pretty boy, Zac Efron, it came in a small, foil package.
The best part was, of course, that it happened at the premiere of Efron’s new film, The Lorax. A Dr. Seuss film, by the way. You remember Dr. Seuss: writer of children’s books; creator of family-friendly entertainment; the man whose wholesomeness is on par with Disney. Yeah, that Dr. Seuss.
My question is, why in the world would the Disney darling carry such a controversial accessory in his front pocket? If he has to have it, why not carry it in the more secure back pocket? Admittedly, I don’t walk around with condoms in my pockets—front or back—but I have lost a tiny fortune in small bills that unknowingly slipped out of the front of my jeans: $5 here, $20 there. (Of course, if you find any $100 bills, those are totally mine too.)
It begs the question: Did he do it on purpose? Sure, he looks convincingly embarrassed in the video, but it is getting a lot of publicity; publicity that the movie may not have gotten otherwise. Or maybe it really was just an accident, maybe the foil-wrapped safety device was simply in his front pocket so that it would be more easily accessible. Why he would need a prophylactic at a children’s movie, I’m not sure; but, as I’ve mentioned before, I’m old fashioned.
Clearly, times have changed—even for Disney stars—but I leave you with this thought: Can you imagine if Hayley Mills had bent over at the premiere of The Parent Trap and birth control pills had fallen out of her purse?
Yeah, me neither.
