Zac Efron Had A Unique Experience With The Tribe Of Sepik River

WhenZac Efronwent to Papua New Guinea and lived with a local tribe for a while, he explained how the entire time he believed he was anonymous the entire time. However, the actor underestimated the fameHigh School Musicalgot him.

He explained how he lived with the tribe of Sepik River, they are known as the crocodile people because they live with the crocodiles of the Sepik River and worship them as their deity.

“So, we went out to this river where they’d go fishing or hunting to meet these crocodiles. They invited me along for the trip, so I was like, ‘Yeah, sure, let’s go. I’d love to check this out. This is going to be wild.’”

Efron explained how the tribe worshipped the crocodiles and saw them as their Gods. He elaborated how an entire group of them had submitted themselves to the river and had just been floating around, moving their hands around to feel the crocodiles around. The tribe waited for a crocodile to make contact with them and would then whistle as a signal to warn those next to them about the direction it was going towards. This in turn would help the tribe to eventually capture the crocodile altogether.

Zac Efron Was Famous Even In The Most Remote Areas

When asked if the actor was able to remain anonymous throughout his trip, Efron had a story to support his answer which was both amusing and interesting at the same time. Although he was in a place that was off the grid, without access to any technology, he somehow realized that perhaps the actor was not as unknown to the people of Sepik River as he thought.

“A couple of the guys came up to me with cell phones, these are the tribesmen guys. We FaceTimed their cousins and their wives and people that were living in other places all over the world.”
