Zac Efron is going to be a daddy (kind of). The actor has been tapped to star in Disney’s remake of Three Men and a Baby, the ’80s comedy following a trio of NYC bachelors whose love lives get turned upside down when they find a baby on their doorstep and take her in.
The 1987 film—adapted from the French picture Trois hommes et un couffin—starred Tom Selleck, Ted Danson, and Steve Guttenberg. As of right now, it’s unclear who will join Efron in the starring trio.
