Zac
Efron’s affinity with Pinoys not only rests on his previous romance with
Filipino-American actress Vanessa Hudgens, but it encompasses his immense
interest in local culture, including Filipino cuisine. The 24-year-old
Hollywood actor related in a statement that his father, David Efron, “has been
to the Philippines several times, so I’ve always wanted to visit and try the
local dishes like adobo.”
Zac
further enthused that his father likewise has been telling him great stories
about the Philippines. He will most likely get a taste of local dishes when he
visits the Philippines on September 29
for his fan conference for popular clothing brand Penshoppe.
His
highly-anticipated arrival was announced last month by the Penshoppe
management, months after Zac signed his endorsement deal with the clothing
brand. In an earlier interview with GMA-7’s Startalk, Zac related that he
wants to try surfing, diving, and hanging out in various destinations in the
country. The
fan conference, he added, “is an amazing, amazing excuse to go to the Philippines.”
Zac
is the latest prized addition to Penshoppe’s roster of international endorsers.
“Vampire Diaries” star Ian Somerhalder, Thai superstar Mario Maurer, and
“Gossip Girl” cast members Ed Westwick and Leighton Meester have earlier signed
up with the 26-year-old clothing company.
