Cruise mentors young gun Efron
Tom Cruise is giving Zac Efron career advice.
The two actors – who recently became friends after realising they are both motorcycle enthusiasts – speak regularly, with Hollywood legend Cruise becoming the younger star's "professional and personal guru".
A source said: "Tom and Zac clicked the minute they met. Now, when Zac gets a script to consider, his first call is to Tom. Tom warned Zac to diversify and not get pigeon-holed in one type of role.”
As well as giving the ‘High School Musical’ actor professional advice, the ‘Knight and Day’ star – who is married to Katie Holmes – advises his young friend of personal matters too.
The source explained to National Enquirer magazine: "Zac is extremely shrewd, but he considers Tom a personal and professional guru. Tom also warned Zac how to conduct himself in public."
The pair are enjoying their bonding sessions so much, they are even considering working on a new movie together.
The source added: "They've even talked about teaming up on a film together – the way Tom did with Paul Newman I the 1986 film 'The Colour of Money'."
