While promoting his new romantic comedy, That Awkward Moment, on the Today show, Zac Efron was caught unawares when the talk turned to his stint in rehab last year.

During the sit down with Zac and his costars Michael B. Jordan and Miles Teller, Savannah Guthrie got serious with the heart throb, saying, "I know last year was a little bit hard. There were reports that you'd gone to rehab. Anything you want to share about that? I think mostly your fans just want to know how you're doing and that you're okay."

Despite being taken aback, the 26-year-old replied, "I'm in the best place I've ever been. I've never been this happy before. I'm extraordinarily grateful for these guys and to be here promoting this movie. I don't know. Things are good. I don't know. Thank you for asking."


We've been worried about Zac since learning about his issues with addiction and then after news hit that he broke his jaw under some strange circumstances -- so we are glad to hear Zac is doing okay!

That Awkward Moment opens in theaters Jan. 31st.
