The year-old actor - who has been dating the brunette beauty since they met on the set of 'High School Musical' in - was watching the actress strut her stuff in musical 'Rent' at The Hollywood Bowl when he got up from his seat to tip her for her sexy striptease during 'Out Tonight'.

High School Musical stars Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens may have good chemistry on screen, but off screen, it's electric. The real life lovers could barely keep their hands off each other during a romantic holiday on the Caribbean islands of Turks and Caicos earlier this month. At one point, year-old Hudgens straddled her year-old boyfriend as they lay on the sand - a sight likely to raise eyebrows from their Disney employers.
