Zac Efron shot a full episode of « Hot Ones » in character for his Netflix movie « A Family Affair, » but it didn’t make the cut.
If there’s one place you can count on the biggest stars in the world showing up at this point, it’s “Hot Ones,” attempting to answer questions while eating insanely spicy hot wings. So naturally, it popped up in “A Family Affair” as part of Zac Efron’s (partly) fictional highlight reel. And, according to the film’s director, Efron really did a whole interview in character — it just didn’t make the final cut.
The new movie, now streaming on Netflix, tells the story of Zara Ford (Joey King), a young assistant to movie star Chris Cole (Efron), hoping to work her way up to being a producer and, eventually, running his company. Chris is a horrible boss though, and doesn’t treat Zara well. So when he starts up a relationship with her mom — who’s 16 years older than him — Zara is, well, less than pleased.
Still, Chris is a bonafide movie star, and to illustrate that, the film kicks off with a montage of his success, using footage from some of Efron’s real-life highlights.
