Zac Efron had to put on his brave face at Nylon Guy magazine’s recent party for its November issue at XIV in LA – after he was followed around by a group of women in their 40s! The High School Musical star is the mag’s current cover boy.

“One of them ended up following him to the bathroom and just waited for him to come out,” a source told New York Post gossip column Page Six. “As soon as he did, she cornered him and asked to take his picture for her 5-year-old daughter. He was very gracious.”

Efron, 22, has previously revealed how he’s scared of his fans’ moms.

“It’s funny because the kids can be shy but the moms feel like they know you to a degree,” he said in March this year. “They come across as very comfortable in some ways – almost motherly. They want to give me advice and talk to me and ask how I’m doing, if I’m OK, and sometimes they want to go and get a bite to eat. It can be intimidating.” [Source]
