Joey King said she grew up with his face on everything I owned
King told host Fallon, “I love him. I grew up with his face on everything I owned, Did you have a Zac Efron lunchbox or something?”
“Did I have… among everything else!” King said. “All the merch that I could get my hands on. I was one of those kids, I was like, ‘Mom, the movie is going to be on at 8/7 Central. I don’t know what that means, but I have to be home to watch.’”
“He was so gracious about it,” she added of Efron’s role in High School Musical. “I would sing on set. He would sing along with me and that was so great.”
Apart from Efron she also talked about the impression of another co-star Nicole Kidman. The 24-year-old actress also shared how her onscreen mom’s helped her fitness routine.
“She taught me the most epic, awful butt workout I’ve ever learned in my life. It was, like, so intense,” the actor said of 57-year-old Kidman. “I was like, ‘I’m a youngster. I can hang. I’m young, and I’m agile.’ I thought I could hang, but I couldn’t hang.”
King shared, “It was these donkey kicks and the rainbows and the fire hydrants and all these other [moves]. But you have to keep your leg in the air for, like, 12 years. It’s so hard.”
Although the filming has ended she still follows the routine as she noted,”I do it still because it’s the most effective workout, so I send her photos when I do it. I’m like, ‘Call an ambulance, love you!'”
Moreover, she said the Oscar winner is “just a sweet and silly, fun person,” adding, “She’s such a girl’s girl.”
‘A Family Affair’ is streaming on Netflix from June 28.
