Zac Efron on Dave Franco: ‘I grabbed his balls really hard’

By Josh Haggis

Zac Eron has claimed things got a little intimate on set while he was shooting new comedy film Bad Neighbours with co-star Dave Franco.

The actor revealed the tidbit during an appearance on Jimmy Fallon’s The Tonight Show earlier this week (May 8) – telling Fallon he almost broke his hand grabbing James Franco’s younger brother’s “balls of steel.”

“I grabbed his balls, really hard, and he grabbed mine… and I don’t know what it is, man,” Efron said. “Those Franco brothers just have balls of steel. I did legitimately break my hand.”

In Bad Neighbours, Seth Rogen and Rose Byrne play a couple with a newborn baby who move into the home of their dreams – only to find a fraternity house right next door. Efron and Franco co-star as two of the topless jocks living there.

Finally, an excuse to post this promo still from the film:
