While filming in Los Angeles, Phoebe was photographed performing scenes with Zac Efron, in a green leaf print dress, looking every bit like a glamorous movie star.

Former star of High School Musical, Zac will play the dual role of a fan mistaken for a movie star who will stop at nothing to live his dream life.

In September it was revealed that Phoebe, whose mother is Coronation Street actress Sally Dynevor, 59, would star in the film, which is sure to be a career milestone.

The Manchester-born actress, whose father is Emmerdale screenwriter Tim Dynevor, began her career as a child in the BBC School drama series Waterloo Road.

She then had recurring roles in BBC series Prisoners Wives and Dickensian, followed by crime series Crackle Snatch, before landing her big break in Netflix’s Bridgerton in 2020.

Indeed, not only do his parents work in show business, but his paternal grandparents also worked in the television industry.

Meanwhile, Zac Efron has become a serious actor since his Disney Channel debut, as he had a role alongside Nicole Kidman in the Netflix comedy A Family Affair, as well as a starring role in the film Iron Claw with Lily James and Jeremy Allen White. .

In a recent interview with Deadline, the industry bible, Efron said he’s looking to be selective in his upcoming film projects. He said: “I will definitely be more selective, I think, in the best way. That’s why I always wanted to make films.

“I view it more as a responsibility now, and I think that will naturally make me more selective in the future. And that asks a lot of you. So, I think less is more in those moments.

Zac then said: “I really enjoy working with directors who have a vision and can guide us. I can’t pick a genre or style of film that would be most appealing next.

“I just know whichever one it will be, and I love them all, I just want it to feel real and authentic, and to be able to fully commit to it.”

Earlier this year it was revealed the actor was hospitalized after swimming at a villa in Ibiza in August. He is believed to have ingested a large amount of water into his lungs after a deep dive in the pool went wrong.

But the High School Musical star shared an update on his Instagram that he was happy and healthy.
