Speaking with “Access Hollywood” at the film’s premiere, Efron reflected on his role. He said,
“(When) you’re playing a real person and it’s a true story, there’s an extra bit of motivation to get things as honest and real as possible. So I started training probably six months before and it’s the hardest thing I’ve ever done.”
Efron found fame with Disney’s ‘High School Musical’ but has moved on to bigger things such as ‘The Greatest Showman’ and ‘Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile.’
‘The Iron Claw’ will be released on December 22.
