Vanessa Hudgens: 'Zac Efron Showers!'

Vanessa Hudgens has dismissed reports that boyfriend Zac Efron has an aversion to showering.

The HSM heartthrob's clean-cut image took a bit of a battering recently when an insider on the third instalment of the hit movie franchise claimed that Zac was creating a stink on set.

"Zac isn't a big fan of showering. It's so gross, because Zac loves to work out and plays basketball all the time - and then goes days without showering," the source told Star.

"When he gets lazy, he likes to clean himself with baby wipes.”

But Vanessa – his HSM co-star and the person who gets up close and personal with Zac in real-life - denies her man likes to subject others to his own distinctive fragrance.

"He showers! He showers! Believe me, he does," Vanessa insists in a new interview with Newsweek.

"Whoever came up with that is completely idiotic."
