Well, this is just deliciously awkward.
Earlier today, Zac Efron stopped by the Today Show to promote his new movie The Lorax, and Matt Lauer decided to serve up a nice, piping-hot plate of uncomfortable for us all to enjoy with our OJ. I’m sure we all remember the incident at the premiere of The Lorax, during which Efron had a little whoopsie! and dropped a condom on the red carpet. Because that’s something you need at the premiere of an animated children’s movie. But hey, at least he’s being safe, right? There could’ve been worse things that fell out of that pocket.
Our favorite hard-hitting interviewer decided to let Efron comment on the ordeal and just about made us die from secondhand embarrassment for Zac. Cause, you know, what can you even say in defense of that? And then, to put the extra painful cherry on top, Lauer tried to skirt around actually saying “condom”, and when he did, he barely got it out of his mouth. If you’re gonna ask the question, you gotta be able to say the word “condom”, man. Sorry. Watch the awkward-fest below. (via Buzzfeed)
What do you Lovelies think about the incident? Should Matt Lauer have brought it up in his interview?

I don’t know if Matt Lauer should’ve brought that up. Parents might not take their kids to see this movie now that they know a star of the film keeps condoms in his pocket. I don’t know. Maybe I’m wrong.

Eh. He’s a reporter. He, you know, reports on stuff. He should’ve been more straight-forward with the question, but he had every right to ask it!

You mean to tell me Zac Efron isn’t a virgin?!
He doesn’t seem embarrassed, he’s just like “yeah so that happened,”
Matt Lauer seems pretty uncomfortable but like who gives a shit. Sex is sex is sex. If it’s still taboo and silly to you then don’t have it. The end.

Of course Matt Lauer should have brought it up he’s a news reporter and that’s news so why not? They talk about everything else. What’s up with you asking a silly question like that? They talk about “booty calls”, personal cosmetic surgeries, affairs etc, on tv news and talk shows, so Zac Efron dropped a condom on the red carpet. I’m with them( Matt & Zac) . . . better safe than not because we all know that the youth are sexually active. Why would we start being prudish when it pertains to something that is important as a life style habit?
