And while Kendrick only pretended to eat hers, Efron went for it.

Because a good actor will fully commit to the moment, whatever shape that moment might take.

If it were easy, everybody would be doing it.

So there’s that: art.

And high marks to Efron.

Of course, there’s much more to the story than an actor doing his job.

What good friendship is without its share of icky moments?

Despite the literal vomit that came between them, Efron and Kendrick remain close friends.

I’ve always wondered what is it about Manson that was so charismatic?

Then I met Zac and was like, ‘Oh, there it is,'" Kendrick wrote.

Their powerful chemistry on-screen prompted rumors that they were involved.

Unfortunately for ‘shippers, Kendrick squashed the rumor in an interview promoting their film.

But, all things considered, a lasting friendship after a serious stomach upset is something worth celebrating.
