High School Musical director Kenny Ortega is working on a new version of the 1984 classic and believes Zac Efron would be "perfect" for the part of Ren McCormack.
Bacon, who took the role in the original, has backed Ortega's choice. "I met Zac briefly at an event and we talked, only briefly, but he seemed like a really nice kid," he told Heart FM. "I really do wish him all the best with it."
