Early life

Background [4] Efron was born in San Luis Obispo, California, and later moved to Arroyo Grande, California. His father, David Efron, is an electrical engineer at a power station, and his mother, Starla Baskett, is a former secretary who worked [5] [6] at the same power plant. Efron has a younger brother, Dylan, and had, as he described it, a "normal childhood" [1] [3] in a middle class family. He is an agnostic, having never been religious. His surname, "Efron", means "lark" in [7] [8] [9] Hebrew (his paternal grandfather was Jewish). Efron has said that he would "flip out" if he got a "B" and not an "A" in school, and has also described himself as [10] [5] having been a class clown. His father encouraged him to begin acting when he was 11 years old. Efron [11] subsequently appeared in theater productions at his high school, worked in the theater The Great American [1] [5] Melodrama and Vaudeville, and began taking singing lessons.
