Zac Efron Shoots Down Pirates of the Caribbean 4 Rumor

Following the confirmation of Pirates of the Caribbean 4, many rumors and spoilers have been leaked online.

One of the strangest, though, stated that High School Musical star Zac Efron would be appearing in the Johnny Depp movie. That's news to Efron, however.

"Honestly, at this time it's just a rumor," Efron told Ryan Seacrest on the the latter's radio show this week. "I wish I was going to be in Pirates of the Caribbean 4, so hopefully that will happen for me."

Efron is trying to move beyond the High School Musical franchise. He'll be starring in 17 Again this spring alongside Matthew Perry and Leslie Mann.
