Zac Efron's Walk of Fame Star Unveiling Was a Heartfelt Affair
Efron, now 36, brought his folks and sibling to the event, surrounded by throngs of fans and camera shutters. As he gleamed over his plaque, he paid tribute to his late friend, Matthew Perry, who passed away at 54 in October.
During his heartfelt speech, Efron recalled working together on the 2009 comedy "17 Again - Back to High School." Perry was "incredibly kind and generous" towards him, according to Efron.
