Zac Efron Is One Of Time Magazine's Most Influenti...

Wow, Zac Efron is one of the most influential and most beautiful people in the world. Sucks to be me. Does taking your shirt off while mounting a parking meter make one influential? Probably not, but I think his success at the box office may have something to do with him making the Time 100 list of most influential people.

Everyone who makes the list receives a testimonial from a peer. It was Claire Danes who had the honor of penning Zac's.

"I suppose we all know that Zac, 21, is a song-and-dance man," she writes. "What is less known--and what I had the privilege of learning firsthand--is that he is a performer of great subtlety and vulnerability. It seems Zac is not only an entertainer, but also an artist. He is going to make us swoon for many years to come."
Many other celebrities are included on the list: Oprah Winfrey, George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Tom Hanks, Jay Leno, M.I.A., Penélope Cruz, Tina Fey, Kate Winslet, John Legend, Slumdog Millionaire composer A.R. Rahman, Barack and Michelle Obama, Hillary Clinton, financial guru Suze Orman and the ladies of The View.

Look for the Time 100 issue on newsstands tomorrow.
