Zac Efron is now under 24 hour security watch because there are too many fans following him while shooting his current movie, claims one magazine this morning.

The Sunday Mirror out of England is reporting that Efron, 20, now needs a 24 hour security to protect him while filming his movie in the town of Douglas on the British Isle of Man.

“When news got out that he was there he was mobbed wherever he went, so now he has a 24-hour police guard on standby to protect him. Hundreds of screaming girls flocked to the Gaiety Theatre in Douglas, where Zac is filming Me And Orson Welles, to catch a glimpse.”

In fact there have been two incidents, claims the mag. LALATE has the detals for you!

The Sunday Mirror writes: “There were two incidents where police had to escort Zac, whose girlfriend is HSM co-star Vanessa Anne Hudgens, back to his hotel room. When he went out for dinner at Copperfields restaurant he had to be taken out by guards because the crowd outside got too big.

“The young actor has been spending most evenings in his suite at the four-star Sefton Hotel, where most of the cast, including co-star Claire Danes, are staying.

“In the mornings he heads straight to the recently restored Gaiety, which is doubling for the Mercury Theatre of 1930s New York. Today 570 locals get a chance to work with him as extras playing the theatre audience.”
