2016 may have been a particularly rough year, but hey, we'll always have Zac Efron [1]. The movie superstar has been all over the place since January. He started the year by giving Ellen DeGeneres a lap dance [2] and causing countless swoons with his shirtless Baywatch-reboot body [3], while more recent months have yielded a glorious union with Simone Biles [4] and a High School Musical reunion [5]. But don't let us just tell you about his year; it's much more fun with a visual aide.
When He Was So Shirtless and So Buff at the Same Time
Had to start here, you know?
When He Just Looked So Pure and Pretty
When He Casually and Sensually Brushed His Fingers Through His Hair
When He Flashed Those Pearly Whites
So . . . bright . . . must . . . look . . . away . . .
When He Was STILL Really Buff and Shirtless and He Was Kind of Glistening a Little Bit Too?
When He Showed Off Some Seriously Nice Cleavage
When He Went All-Black and We Were All In
When You Couldn't Believe Such a Perfect Face Wasn't Sculpted
When He Got All Suited Up
When He Got All up in That Hair Bleach
When He Was Just . . . Ugh
See you next year, sweet prince.
