Doing some promo for the film seems to have got Zac thinking about his past and how much he’s grown, and the High School Musical star got really frank about how happy he is that he’s made the mistakes that he made.

He told the Daily Telegraph: “I have messed up in the past. I’ve done a lot of things that I look back on and go ‘sheesh, are you kidding, what were you thinking?’”

“It is weird to say because I am also happy that I did all of those things because I am here before you today able to proclaim that this is me and I am very proud of who I am.”

Taking a glass half full approach, he explained: "Every day I wake up and I have to start with again the man in the mirror and it is like starting from square one all over again. You are never perfect, you wake up every day and there’s a new set of challenges.

“But if you look at those as obstacles and lessons you learn from, you can take away a lot.”

Cheers for the tips, Zac.
