Once a Wildcat, always a Wildcat. On Monday, Zac Efron received his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
Though the event largely highlighted the upcoming release of his critically acclaimed film The Iron Claw, Zac took a moment to honor the film and people who offered him his big break.
Of course, that would be none other than the 2006 classic, High School Musical.
During his Walk of Fame speech, Zac shouted out HSM director Kenny Ortega and producer Bill Borden, who were both in attendance at the event. Here's Zac posing for a photo with Kenny:
"You guys were both instrumental in giving me my start in High School Musical," he said, per a video of the speech on Entertainment Tonight's Twitter. "For that, I'm just eternally, eternally grateful."
But that wasn't all. Zac's next remark proved totally sentimental.
"You have no idea. I still think about it every day," he continued. "I sing the songs in the shower. Go Wildcats!"
Though a small portion of his speech, Zac mentioning High School Musical proved major for some fans, including those who grew up on the film franchise.
So check out some of the best reactions to Zac's enduring love for his iconic early career role below:
