Wholesome Zac Efron is probably the last Hollywood star you'd expect to see in a seedy sex shop.

But that's just where the High School Musical actor was spotted on Wednesday as he shot scenes for new film Are We Officially Dating?

Looking quite at home in the large Fantasy World shop in the West Village of New York City, the star got to grips with his lines, surrounded by displays of sex toys.

He's spent the last few weeks filming scenes for the new romantic comedy, but this latest scene clearly involves his character heading to an adult store to pick up a few supplies.

Looking as stylish as ever, Zac wore double denim for the scene, pairing skin-tight dark jeans with a black jean jacket.

Underneath he wore a deep red hoodie and added a pair of retro style Persol sunglasses, which he whipped off as soon as he got inside the sex shop.

Zac was handed a script as he made his way in and spent a while rehearsing his lines before shooting, next to a number of racy and intimate items.

Luckily for the 25-year-old, he is no longer the wholesome teen who made his name by starring in the hit Disney films, as a large red sign on the door of the shop said: 'You must be 18 years to enter.'

Far from looking awkward, the star looked completely relaxed in his surroundings, hanging around with members of the crew outside the shop.

Zac was spotted filming with British actress Imogen Poots just a few days before, shooting a number of kissing scenes with the 23-year-old.

While the full synopsis of the film is yet to be disclosed, it is being billed as a light-hearted comedy about three bachelors who make a pact to remain single.

Former child star Zac is set to have a busy 2013 as he's signed up for a number of new film projects including Parkland and Townies.

And it seems that the star had to suffer for his art last year as well, as his Paperboy co-star Nicole Kidman recently spoke out about having to urinate on him:

'I felt shy singing in Moulin Rouge! But peeing - no, not shy,' she told The Hollywood Reporter.
