That Time Ashley Tisdale’s Young Daughter Thought Zac Efron Was Her Father While Watching High School Musical

by

As a millennial theater enthusiast, the “High School Musical” series held a special place in my youthful years. The cast of “High School Musical,” who are now adults and some even parents, continue to be associated with the franchise (available for streaming via Disney+). A testament to this is when Ashley Tisdale’s daughter mistook Zac Efron for her father while watching “HSM.

In the “High School Musical” series, Tisdale’s character Sharpay repeatedly pursued Efron’s character Troy, with dreams of a romantic and creative partnership. It seems that having a child with him was a goal for her character, as hinted by the plotboard or vision board. This explains why Ashley Tisdale’s account of this on the Breaking Beauty Podcast is particularly amusing. She revealed:

A while back, my wife watched High School Musical. When my husband showed it to her, I was taken aback and exclaimed, “What are you up to?” It turned out she mistook Zac Efron for her father. I had to correct her, saying, “No, that’s not daddy.” She insisted, “Daddy!” but I explained, “No, no, no! Just because they have dark hair doesn’t mean it’s Daddy.

Isn’t that adorable? Kids often say the most unexpected things, like when Tisdale’s daughter mistook her father for young Zac Efron. It makes you wonder about Tisdale’s reaction. Now I find myself yearning for a new High School Musical movie featuring parents from East High – yes, singing parents!

Despite no clear signs of another “High School Musical” film in production, some members of the original cast recently collaborated for the “HSM” TV series on Disney+. Regrettably, Ashley Tisdale, Zac Efron, and Vanessa Hudgens chose not to participate in the show’s episodes on the streaming platform. However, their characters were mentioned, with Sharpay portrayed as a CEO similar to Goop, and Troy and Gabriella appearing to be undergoing couples therapy. That hurts!

The popularity of “High School Musical: The Musical: The Series” demonstrates that the franchise continues to be relevant and engaging, even for an audience who may not have experienced the original movie trilogy and its Sharpay spinoff when they were first released.

Over the years, it’s been intriguing to watch the impact of HSM unfold, as its musical numbers continue to stand the test of time. Some fans argue that Sharpay Evans was more of a protagonist than an antagonist in the story, which remains a topic for debate. Perhaps one day, actors like Ashley Tisdale and Zac Efron might reprise their iconic roles based on this ongoing discussion. In the meantime, I’ll keep enjoying the movies and their soundtrack while waiting for more developments.
