Zac Efron recently made headlines when it was revealed that he would no longer star in the upcoming remake of the classic 'Footloose' and now he's telling why.

"I'm sure 'Footloose' would have been a huge challenge," the 'High School Musical' star tells EW.com. "But the actors that I love and the actors that work really hard in this industry are always shaking things up, trying new genres, acquiring new skill sets. That's what's always going to appeal to me: the unknown."

The big-screen cutie can next be seen in '17 Again,' out April 17.
