‘Lovely’ Zac Efron leaves Byron Bay locals impressed with his down to earth and friendly personality

Zac Efron has been living in the NSW coastal town of Byron Bay for almost a year.

But despite being one of the biggest stars on the planet, the Hollywood hunk, 33, has left a lasting impression on the locals.

According to one Byron Bay resident, Zac is ‘so lovely’ and always friendly to waitstaff in the hospitality industry. 

The fan also described Zac as a ‘super chilled down to earth guy’.

The post was shared to Celeb Spellcheck, a profile dedicated to correcting influencers’ bad spelling, who asked their 126,000 followers if they’ve had any memorable celebrity encounters.

Zac has been quietly living in the beachside town of Byron Bay since March 2020, after escaping the escalating COVID-19 pandemic conditions in the U.S. 

He is believed to have met girlfriend Vanessa in July, when she was working as a waitress at Byron Bay’s trendy General Store café.

He has also been embracing life Down Under and was recently living in a $140,000 caravan while filming the Stan Original movie Gold.

In August, Daily Mail Australia revealed that Zac had cancelled his scheduled flight home to Los Angeles.

‘He was only planning to fly home if he had to,’ a source revealed. ‘He didn’t really want to go back to America.’

Zac had purchased the plane ticket several months earlier in case his application for a visa extension was denied by the Department of Home Affairs.

But it seems his request to have his tourist visa extended from three months to 12 months was granted, hence why he cancelled his trip home. 

Gold will be available on Stan in Australia later this year.
