Efron 'would cross-dress for movie role'

Zac Efron has joked that he would cross-dress to star alongside girlfriend Vanessa Hudgens.

The High School Musical actor told E! Online that he would consider playing a woman for a part in upcoming film Sucker Punch.

"I think it's an all-girl movie," he said. "But if there's any way to be in that film, I'd do it. I'd play a girl if I had to."

Meanwhile, Hudgens revealed that she is excited about filming her new role.

"I'm so stoked about it," she said. "I kept telling everyone, 'I want to do an action film'. But they were like, 'Maybe in a few years'. So I'm like, 'Ha, in your face. I am doing one now!'"

Last month, it was reported that Efron had encouraged his girlfriend to strip off for a movie.
