Perry: 'Female fans flocked to Efron'

Matthew Perry has revealed that Zac Efron distracted a group of girls who were trying to persuade him to sign their bodies.

The former Friends actor was being mobbed by fans at an LA burger joint when Efron, his co-star in new movie Seventeen Again, proved a more attractive proposition.

He said: "The minute they saw Zac, all those lovely fleshy bits that were being waved in front of me vanished as they ran off screaming over to him.

"Good luck to Zac - I don't think I could handle all that adulation at my age."

Efron, 20, has reportedly demanded a private tent on the set of the film so he can escape female fans who follow him wherever he goes.

A source said: "Zac was petrified about being surrounded by students while shooting at a Los Angeles school, so he had producers erect a tent he could duck into every time the school bell rang.

"The pitter-patter of teenage feet scared him so much he asked for a bell schedule so he could zoom into the tent before class finished."
