Zac Efron Is Santa to Sick Kids
Teen sensation and one of today’s hottest young stars, Zac Efron, spent a very meaningful Christmas with some of the patients at Los Angeles hospital and played Santa for a day to these sick kids.
The actor, who rose to fame via the movie High School Musical, was at the Mattel Children’s Hospital UCLA last Friday where he gave away an estimated $10,000 in gifts which included board games and art sets. The kids knew who he was of course. More than the gifts, there were very delighted to see him and even asked for his autograph and posed pictures. The staff were also wowed by his presence.
One of those who was at the event told USmagazine —
“He really spent time bonding with each of the children and their families. The kids were smitten and beaming from ear to ear. Some of the kids couldn’t even speak, but they had the widest grins and would sit as close to him as possible. Zac was super gracious and could not have been more kind and truly happy to be there.”
