Zac Efron gets cosy with new girl

LOS ANGELES - After fuelling rumours of a reconciliation with his former sweetheart Vanessa Hudgens, actor Zac Efron was recently spotted getting cosy with a new woman.

The 23-year-old actor accompanied actress Teresa Palmer, 24, to a screening of her upcoming flick “Take Me Home Tonight” Thursday, and onlookers saw some chemistry between the two, reports people.com.

“There was definitely some hand-holding. The two ate together and seemed really engaged in conversation. They seemed really into each other. They weren’t trying to hide their affection at all, even though they knew people were watching them,” a source from the screening’s after party, has been quoted as saying.

The couple also went a nightclub later.

According to the source, Efron “gave high-fives to his friends” and watched the barely dressed go-go dancers “slide up and down the wall” with “a huge smile on his face”.

“Zac chatted with Teresa for awhile. She leaned in close so she could hear over the music, while Zac was smiling and slightly flirting with her. There was no overt PDA (public display of affection), but he was not shy about giving her leg the occasional touch,” the source added.

Efron and his ex-girlfriend, Hudgens, 22, called it quits in December after dating since 2006.
