See photos of the ‘High School Musical’ cast’s transformations from when the movie was on to now.
High School Musical premiered on Disney Channel in 2006 and became an immediate fan favorite. But nobody knew how quickly it was going to take over the world. Three movies, a live tour, and a Disney+ series later, and the High School Musical franchise launched the careers of its amazing cast. In the 12 years since High School Musical 3: Senior Year was released, the stars of the trilogy have changed and grown as actors so much. Zac Efron, now 33, danced on that basketball court 14 years ago as Troy Bolton and became an instant heartthrob. The end of his Disney Channel days saw Zac grow from shaggy-haired teenager Troy Bolton into a bonafide sex symbol. While Zac starred in the short-lived series Summerland before High School Musical, it was the DCOM that made him a household name.
