Chase Crawford traded for Zac Efron
It's one of the biggest trades in Hollywood history. It has just been announced that the CW has traded "Gossip Girl" star Chase Crawford to Disney for "High School Musical" star Zac Efron. Zac will take over the role of of "Nate Archibald" on the CW program while Crawford will take over the role of "Troy Bolton" in the upcoming "High School Musical 3." CW President Dawn Ostroff, who orchestrated the early season trade, had this to say:
"We wanted to bring a brand new look to the role of 'Nate Archibald.' We needed someone fresh. So we went out on a limb and decided to go after Zac Efron to shake things up a bit. I think our fans will be happy with the trade."
A trade of this magnitude was attempted last year when Disney wanted to
trade "High School's" Corbin Bleu for "American Idol's" Justin Guarini.
However, Jamba Juice, Guarini's current employer, did not agree to terms of the proposed trade deal.
