Zac Efron has revealed that he tries to keep his real life and his work life completely separate.
The actor is set to return to the big screen next month as Nichols Sparks novel The Lucky One is adapted into a movie.
And Efron, who leads the cast in the movie, says it's important that his work life never 'overshadows' his real life.
Speaking to the New York Daily News the actor said: "You kind of put [life] into two parts of your mind.
"There's the Hollywood section and then there's real life. One of them is more of a show but it never overshadows real life for me.
"As long as you can draw a comparison between the two, one of which you know to be more important, you're good. For me, the choice is very easy. One is where I work, one is where I live."
The Lucky One is a romance movie that also stars Taylor Schilling and Blythe Danner and follows Sparks' other works such as The Notebook and Dear John onto the big screen.
The Lucky One is released 2nd May.
