Zac Efron wants to meet Johnny Depp and "pick his brain." The "High School Musical" star is determined to shed his clean cut image and become known as a serious actor, just like his idol Johnny.

He said: "I would love to just sit down and talk with Leonardo DiCaprio and Johnny Depp and pick their brains about their early careers. They do it because they love it, not because they enjoy being famous. You have to have good foresight and be really careful. If you don't adapt and learn at a very young age, you can really mess up."

Zac says he will miss working alongside his girlfriend, "High School Musical" co-star Vanessa Hudgens, when he moves on to new career challenges.

He explained: "After three movies together, Vanessa and I feel free to do whatever we want, and we're just kind of silly and uninhibited. It felt like the best working vacation I've ever taken."
