He looks 12\. Look at those curly bangs. ## 2004, with Shelley Buckner ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/10/shutterstock_editorial_498337l-1603079788.jpg) Shelley here was on Summerland with Zac, and I absolutely would have worn those shoes with those jeans in 2004\. They remind me of the shape of a pair of Isaac Mizrahi slingbacks I bought off eBay. Zac's shoes... no. I am not a Flip Flops For Formalish Occasions person anyway, so there's that, but they're also so low-profile that he looks barefoot. ## 2005 ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/10/shutterstock_editorial_5886022au-1603080034.jpg) Look at this bright-eyed teen heartthrob. It warms the cockles of mine. ## 2006, with Vanessa Hudgens ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/10/shutterstock_editorial_568744c-1603079797.jpg) Neither person in this photo is living their best shoe life. But Zac is clearly leaning into the Troy From High School Musical bangs, the likes of which make The Youngs scream. ## 2006 ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/10/shutterstock_editorial_587083a-1603079804.jpg) This is a better version of The Bieb, which really did look like a skull cap at a certain point. ## 2006 ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/10/shutterstock_editorial_5132630i-1603079999.jpg) Somewhere, there is a giant blackboard with the formula for 2000s Teen Heart Palpitations and it has a very long section on hair. ## 2006 ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/10/shutterstock_editorial_594307ah-1603079811.jpg) Yes, I only pulled this photo because I like his jacket. ## 2006 ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/10/shutterstock_editorial_605579bs-1603079818.jpg) Here, Zac has taken a little off the sides and gotten rid of his highlights. It also looks like his stylist hurled the sweater at him last-minute to try and lighten up this whole situation. ## 2006 ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/10/shutterstock_editorial_627186el-1603079825.jpg) What do we think frightened him enough to make his hair stand on end? ## 2007 ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/10/shutterstock_editorial_651067du-1603079832.jpg) Oh, son. You've discovered pomade but no one has guided you through this confusing crawl into manhood. ## 2007 ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/10/shutterstock_editorial_5885964ay-1603080026.jpg) This is a promotional shot from Hairspray. I am still laughing. ## 2007 ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/10/shutterstock_editorial_654495cq-1603079839.jpg) "Don't worry, I've still got the bangs! Amanda Bynes studied these for She's The Man, you know." ## 2007 ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/10/shutterstock_editorial_678830u-1603079854.jpg) "I KNOW, right, how DO I get this volume?!? Where's MY Pantene ad?" ## 2007 ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/10/shutterstock_editorial_674487at-1603079847.jpg) "Ooooh, I don't think I'm gonna get that Pantene ad." ## 2007 ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/10/shutterstock_editorial_683314fa-1603079861.jpg) This configuration looks oddly heavy. I am a person who has never had bangs, though, so I can't imagine having that much hair all up in my forehead pores. It may not feel like anything but to a non-banger (I wanted them as a kid but my mom wouldn't do it, and she was correct; my hair would NOT make good ones) it is hard to imagine. ## 2007 ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/10/shutterstock_editorial_714886i-1603079868.jpg) Time for a trim, Zef? ## 2008 ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/10/shutterstock_editorial_788644c-1603079875.jpg) "Getting any ideas, Zachary?" ## 2008 ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/10/shutterstock_editorial_800616gs-1603079882.jpg) "No, David. I will take the hair off my face but I will NEVER take it off my skull." ## 2008 ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/10/shutterstock_editorial_805336i-1603079889.jpg) I had a really weird moment here where I thought, "He reminds me of Chalamet." ## 2008 ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/10/shutterstock_editorial_8257864b-1603080058.jpg) "Vanessa you've GOTTA try this bangs thing. Trust me." ## 2009 ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/10/shutterstock_editorial_881371hd-1603079896.jpg) This is a real backward step, Zac. ## 2009 ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/10/shutterstock_editorial_904119bd-1603079910.jpg) Now we are just freefalling down a mountain. ## 2009 ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/10/shutterstock_editorial_990743cj-1603079918.jpg) I've decided he did the front here with a wide-barrel curling iron. ## 2010 ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/10/shutterstock_editorial_1085502ft-1603079925.jpg) HELLO. ## 2010 ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/10/shutterstock_editorial_1137412ar-1603079932.jpg) Okay we're flirting with a mess up there right now but it's juuuust on the right side of chaos. ## 2010 Academy Awards - Mar 2010 ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/10/shutterstock_editorial_7717375ei-1603080049.jpg) Who taught him this? ## 2010 ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/10/shutterstock_editorial_1191476by-1603079939.jpg) My only explanation here is that Vanessa was mad at him, and so deliberately didn't tell him that his hair horn was lopsided. ## 2010 ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/10/shutterstock_editorial_1209593ce-1603079957.jpg) NO BUT SERIOUSLY WHO IS TEACHING HIM THIS. ## 2010 ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/10/shutterstock_editorial_1209589e-1603079947.jpg) ZAC YOU DON'T KNEAD IT LIKE BREAD. ## 2010 ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/10/shutterstock_editorial_1224236a-1603079964.jpg) Here he looks like his own stunt double who is 20 years older. ## 2011 ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/10/shutterstock_editorial_1267341q-1603079971.jpg) Sometimes, you just have to mow the lawn tightly and let nature start over. ## 2011 ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/10/shutterstock_editorial_1304511bj-1603079978.jpg) AND IT DOES. ## 2012 ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/10/shutterstock_editorial_1658404g-1603079984.jpg) Everybody looks hotter in bushy yellow mustaches. ## 2012 ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/10/shutterstock_editorial_6883727d-1603080041.jpg) Occasionally, Zac tries a real Ed Westwick/Chuck Bass vibe, and it does not work and is not necessary. ## 2012 ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/10/shutterstock_editorial_9063531dv-1603080065.jpg) The occasional stubble reminds us that, yes, the teen has become a man. ## 2014 ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/10/shutterstock_editorial_9077296i-1603080072.jpg) I support this pairing. ## 2016 ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/10/shutterstock_editorial_5642344ev-1603080007.jpg) And now we have some very careful adult manscaping. ## 2016 ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/10/shutterstock_editorial_5738920by-1603080016.jpg) And some less careful Vanilla Ice-scaping. (I believe these frosted tips were for Baywatch.) ## 2017 ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/10/shutterstock_editorial_9242596e-1603080085.jpg) But I think now we've eased into a really stylish and comfortable place with the hair. Well done, Zac. ## 2019 ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/10/shutterstock_editorial_10227180bg-1603080093.jpg) PSYCH.
