OK, is this some kind of of performance art you are doing, mentioning this guy in almost every one of your posts? I mean, granted, it was enough that I tried to see if they had “Pretty Maids All in a Row” on netflix, which they didn’t and it ticked me off, because it sounds great.

When I say all of your posts, I am most likely meaning Cafe Society, as this is the forum I tend to read the most, but this is just perplexing to me. At this point, I specifically look for your posts to see if you mention this guy, and you almost always do! I hope this doesn’t come off rude, I’m just starting to think you are pulling some kind of joke or something!

As for Efron, that is just a weird angle, his head isn’t that big. He also is finally starting to lay off the really heavy makeup, thank goodness. He was looking freakish, and it was perplexing why so many tween girls were fawning over him.

> Check out the April 2009 cover of [GQ magazine](http://hollywooddame.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/zac-efron-gq-cover.jpg). (CAUTION: HUGE HEAD)

Chalk that up to overzealous fashionistas (extreme slender-cut suit) and stylists (big swoopy hair). Never a good combination.

Somebody tried to clone Rob Lowe, it went wrong and now we have his freakish dopple-ganger, Zac Efron.

Rob Lowe is a good call, but I really think he looks more like Jared Leto, except his eyes aren’t spaced an inch apart.

Speaking as someone with an actual oversized skull, I laugh at you. That shot was taken from above with a wide angle lens.

ETA: or, on looking again, probably shopped from two shots as others have said. May not even be Efron’s body.
