While Zac Efron girlfriend 2014 is rumored to be Halston Sage, the 26-year-old hunk sees wife qualities with another actress - the 34-year-old Rose Byrnes. In an interview with Cleo magazine, Efron had nothing but praises for his "favorite actress in the world."

"She's got like a light about her you can't teach or learn. It's really kinda magical. In this movie she plays a strong, funny, easy-going woman. She's gonna redefine what you want a wife to be," he said.

The former Disney actor likewise confessed his penchant for women hailing from Down Under: "Australian girls are incredibly charming. [Rose] has a unique perspective on life, it's really upbeat and funny. You could say that's gotta be from Australia."

Zac Efron girlfriend 2014 is reportedly Halston Sage whom the actor met while filming 'Neighbors.' In the comedy flick, Efron and Sage even shared a kiss. Despite the two's closeness, one source of Hollywood Life previously warned the blonde beauty to keep an eye on Efron.

"Better keep an eye on him if she wants it to work because his actions would make any other girl very leery about pursuing a relationship further," said the insider who revealed the "playboy" tendencies of the 'Safe Haven' actor.

Last April, Efron talked about Sage and described her as a "sweetheart". However, he did not clarify whether he's in a relationship with her. When asked if he's already taken and off the market, he quipped, "I don't know. I'm not really sure I'm in the market. I'm not investing. My money's out!"

Prior to Efron, Sage dated Chord Overstree from musical series 'Glee' and James Maslow from Big Time Rush. Efron, on the other hand, has been linked to 'Mirror, Mirror' actress Lily Collins who was reportedly a good influence to the actor during his brief rehabilitation stint.
