Zac Efron is one lucky guy.

Not only does he get superclose to Michelle Pfeiffer in the about-to-be released New Year’s Eve, but it sounds like the 24-year-old former High School Musical star gets even closer to Nicole Kidman in Precious director Lee Daniels’ upcoming thriller, The Paperboy.

“It’s high-class problems,” Efron quipped when I asked him at the New Year’s premiere what it was like to go from Pfeiffer to Kidman.

Of locking lips with Pfeiffer, he smiled, “I’ll just say I am very happy. It was a lot of takes.”

Efron kept it tight-lipped when it came to Paperboy details, but did say that his and Kidman’s characters’ relationship “is very complicated.”

So, could there be a steamy scene or two?

“It’s fun,” Efron teased. “We get to really have some fun.”
