Zac Efron is trying to save you from hysteria

> As promised, here's Zac Efron on Leno.

> And here he is again, having an epic battle with his t-shirt on the cover of Rolling Stone. It's a feat of derring-do that has apparently inspired a legion of cranky music fans to complain in the comments section.

> Oh, and here he is being a circumspect tease on the subject of his much-rumored romance with a (female) co-star:

On the silver "commitment" ring he wears:
"I'm not even going to say who it's from. This is just a ring from a friend that I got. 'Commitment' is way too weird a word for me right now. I'm wearing it for a friend...It is a female friend, but I can't say who, because then it would be chat-room pandemonium and teenage magazine-hysteria."

> He'll be 20 in October, in case you were wondering. (Unlike my inappropriate jailbait crush, Hayden Panetierre from Heroes, who is still not 18.)

> Before I started this post I'm not sure I realized just how freaking pretty he is. More evidence after the jump...
