(Cover) - EN Showbiz - Zac Efron was mortified when he began crying during Toy Story 3.

The computer-animated movie is the latest in the franchise about a group of toys belonging to a boy called Andy. In the film, the playthings get a new home when Andy heads to college, and Zac found the scenes heart-wrenching.

The star explained he is very in touch with his emotions, which is why he found it easy to star in Charlie St Cloud. Zac plays a teen struggling to cope with the untimely death of his little brother in the movie.

I am emotional! I cried at Toy Story 3, it was embarrassing, he told Look magazine. It was easy to relate to my character in Charlie St Cloud because I thought about my own little brother, Dylan, and what life would be like without him.

Zac recently formed his own production company, something he is very excited about. He admits the idea of getting more involved with movie-making is scary, but he is adamant he is ready for the challenge.

I wanted to be pushed. While I may not be the best at everything, Ive always believe that if I put my mind to something I can achieve it, he explained. (C) Cover Media
