Some stars will pay big bucks for a new pair of worn-in jeans. Others will achieve that distressed look the hard way.

According to Zac Efron, his days during HSM 3 were spent multi-tasking. For eight straight weeks, the actor sported the exact same pair of G-Star jeans.

“I wore them all throughout High School Musical 3,” he admitted to WWD. “I even wore them hiking. You have to wear them everywhere to get them right.”

After two months of battering, Efron’s goal was eventually accomplished: the denim lost its stiffness and starting exposing “yellow whiskers.”

Let’s just hope that pair was washed at some point.
