Do you think Zac dropped the condom on purpose? He seems to enjoy talking about it!

Let me just begin by saying this: I’ve never loved Zac Efron more than I do at this very moment in time. The paragon of beauty dropped by the Today show March 1 to talk about his new movie The Lorax – and speaking of “dropping,” Matt Lauer wasted no time asking Zac about the now-super-viral video of him dropping a condom on the red carpet at the Lorax premiere Feb. 22. “Better safe than sorry?” Matt asked, to which Zac gave the most perfect answer an actor has ever given anyone.

“That’s a great message to add to many messages in the film,” he responded.

Yes, Zac Efron. Yes! Thank you for being awesome and owning up to something we all know you did. Your honesty makes you the coolest person in Hollywood. Well, your honesty and your song-and-dance skills. They’re also top notch.

In case you missed the joyous moment, here’s a video of Zac (and his golden condom) on the carpet:
