Zac Efron is looking back at one of his first experiences in front of a camera. The Hollywood star opened up about his first kissing scene, which took place two years before his fan-favorite role in High School Musical when he was starring in a television series titled 'Summerland.'
The 36-year-old actor revealed that he was very "young" when he did the scene in 2004, playing Kay Panabaker's romantic interest on the show. During his latest interview with Elle, Zac was joined by his co-star Joey King, while promoting their latest Netflix film 'A Family Affair.'

"And I kissed my co-star and she went: "Did you eat fish for lunch?" And everybody laughed," he added. "Yeah, I was scarred for life," Zac confessed. Kay has previously talked about her experience on set with Zac, revealing that it "was weird" because she was 13 at the time, while the actor was 16.

"And it was totally embarrassing in front of the whole crew, who I thought we were - they were all like my dads," the actress shared, adding that Zac was "so nice and so sweet and he still is."
