Zac Efron loves to “disconnect” in nature when he’s finished a project.
Zac Efron relishes being in nature
The 36-year-old actor can find his “true self” again in the great outdoors and needs to do that to decompress after he’s completed work on a role before he can reconnect with his loved ones.
He told The Rake magazine: “When filming is done I need to disconnect.
“Be out in nature and let the character drift out of me and I then find my true self again.
“The best place for me to do that if not in nature is to be somewhere new.
“I think you need to re-engage with who you are before you head back ad try to be with your friends and family.”
The ‘Iron Claw’ actor loves getting to travel and immersing himself in a new culture, which he sees as a great antidote to how “small” life in Los Angeles can be.
He said: “One of the biggest blessings of my journey is that I’ve been able to travel from a young age.
“At the beginning it was really just for press, being called across to Japan for ‘Hairspray’ and I got to see Japanese culture and I was really taken with that.
“That curiosity in me kept growing and usually if I am not working then I will be on a trip finding something new.
“A new part of the world, trying the food, meeting the people, finding out as much about their culture as possible.
“It is a great way to live, and it opens your eyes to something much bigger than Hollywood, it can all feel very small if you’re stuck in LA and I was stuck there for quite a few years.”
