Get ready ladies: Zac Efron’s new role could NOT be more perfect

In what has to be the best movie news of the year, it has been confirmed that Zac Efron will star in the new Baywatch movie.

Swoon. 

The High School Musical star is said to be "stoked" to be starring in the new flick along with wrestler-turned-actor Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson. 

Paramount have been keen to get the 1990's hit TV show remade for years, and now that everything is finalised, production will start in early 2016. 

Efron is said to play a rule-flouting youngster who teams up with a straight-laced lifeguard (Jonhson) to save their beach from destruction at the hands of an oil tycoon.

Both actors seem to be pretty excited about the new movie as they bantered on Twitter about it with The Rock joking "someone get my baby oil".

To which Zac replied saying "baby oil for 2 plz". 

It's nice to see the new co-stars getting along so well.

Meanwhile, the High School Musical hunk has been extremely busy having  just finished filming for Mike And Dave Need Wedding Dates with Adam Devine, Anna Kendrick and Aubrey Plaza, as well as working with Robert De Niro on road trip comedy Dirty Grandpa.
