Speaking to Premiere, the High School Musical star said that he is not concerned about alienating his younger fans with his new role.
"It's a bit more real than before, we're no longer in a heightened reality. These things do happen!" Efron said, referring to his character's drinking and relationship with Amanda Crew's yachtswoman Tess Carroll.
He continued: "I think [fans] are old enough now, at least the ones who'll come see this movie, hopefully they'll understand that and won't be too taken aback by it. It's quite soft."
Commenting on the movie's central love story, Efron said: "It's real, it's true love."
Death & Life Of Charlie St. Cloud opens in the UK on October 8.
