Efron dreams of going Back to the Future

Zac Efron is hooked on time travelling and dreams of taking on Michael J. Fox's role in a new Back To The Future movie.

In his new film 17 Again, Efron's character - played as an adult by Matthew Perry - is struck by lightning and becomes a teenager again.

And now he's keen to take on the the ultimate time travel adventure by recreating Fox's Marty McFly character in a fourth instalment of the hit film franchise.

Efron reveals, "Growing up, my favourite thing to do was to climb into the car and play Back To the Future. I would pretend I was Marty McFly."

Fox last played McFly in 1990's Back to the Future Part III.

Efron recently pulled out of revisiting another classic movie, Footloose.
