Zac Efron, who plays Phillip Carlyle in The Greatest Showman, describes his character as very privileged, but unhappy with where he is at the beginning of the film. He calls the dance number he does with Hugh Jackman as "kind of rad." He also reveals that his co-star Zendaya was remarkably skilled at trapeze by the end of the movie and says they did their own aerial stunts without harnesses. He calls the movie "truly magical."
