American actor Zac Efron has said that he had girlfriend Vanessa Hudgens’ permission to go to a strip club.

“The hardest thing was calling your girlfriend before. How do you even start that conversation without feeling like a total a**hole,” Usmagazine.com quoted Efron as saying on the American talk show Jimmy Kimmel Live.

“She was fine with it,” he added.

Efron went to the Flashdancers Gentlemen’s Club in New York City with his two friends, including High School Musical co-star Corbin Bleu.
