Moving forward
From People:
Zac Efron Completed Rehab Stint
Zac Efron hasn't been seen out and about on the nightclub scene as of late - and it sounds like there's a reason.
The actor, 25, completed a stint in rehab about five months ago, sources confirm to PEOPLE.
The actor - who recently walked the carpet at the Toronto International Film Festival - is "doing great," a source tells PEOPLE. "He's taking care of himself and it shows."
Efron will next star in Parkland, a drama about the Kennedy assassination. "It's really a surreal experience for me," he tells USA Today of working on the film. "It feels very mature and really interesting. It's a whole different kind of filmmaking and I feel blessed to have been a part of it."
I'm not surprised by this news. I am happy for him and I have a lot of respect for him being self aware enough that he realized he needed to change a behavioral pattern before it seriously affected his well-being. I am also glad his parents maintain an active role in his life and support him and help him to make the best choices for himself. Hollywood is a difficult place to exist in. A lot of people don't like to see that accompanying the money, fame and success, are a host of negative things. It becomes a very isolated existence, even if you have a lot of friends. Let's look to the future and not the past, he is clearly on a positive path and I'm happy about that.
Additional note (Sep 19th):
Now that this is out, many people will try to make a quick buck by selling their story. So please take new stories with a grain of salt cause some of it doesn't add up.
