Back in 2008, Drew Barrymore had a front row seat to one of the most iconic teen couples of the 2000s! The eponymous talk show host, 46, spent the May 7 episode of her talk show, featuring a clip here, chatting with Vanessa Hudgens about how Drew accidentally became the third-wheel on the starlet’s date with then-boyfriend Zac Efron. “I was just thinking about, back in the day, we went to a Kings of Leon concert together, you, me and Zac Efron,” said Drew. “And it was one of the funnest nights of my life.”
The High School Musical alum, 32, was shocked Drew even remembered the former couple’s date. “Are you kidding me? It’s like, still a story I tell to this day,” she confessed to the talk show host. “That was such a wild time. I remember being there and I was like, ‘What’s happening? This is so amazing.’ You were so sweet,” Vanessa sweetly said to Drew.
The two started dating in 2005, when production for the first installment of the HSM trilogy was underway. When the film debuted on Disney Channel in 2006, the two leads became absolute stars. They went on to appear in the sequel, which came out in 2007, and the final, feature-length film, which debuted in 2008.
