Zac Efron dodges fans by climbing down drainpipe

Hollywood hearthrob Zac Efron recently dodged fans by escaping down a hotel drainpipe.

The High School Musical star was forced to take drastic action when he was desperate for some time alone outside of his room, but had to dodge hundreds of loyal supporters waiting outside, reports Contactmusic.com.

"Recently I was in a hotel surrounded by fans, so I hopped over the balcony, climbed down the drainpipe and went for a walk," he said.

The 22-year-old star has also used a disguise to conceal his identity and was amazed his basic camouflage worked.

"I disguised myself once and you could see people go, 'Wait, is that..? Oh no, he's got a moustache'," he said.
