Rex Features

Zac Efron was attacked by a middle-aged man while leaving London's Apollo theatre yesterday, claims The Mirror.

The High School Musical star and girlfriend Vanessa Hudgens were leaving a West End performance of Rain Man when a man carrying a laptop threw himself at the couple and attempted to touch Efron's hair.

Efron reportedly fell to the ground and bodyguards jumped in to pull the man away.

High School Musical 3: Senior Year, which stars Efron and Hudgens as school sweethearts, rolls out in UK cinemas on October 22.
