Lily Collins and Zac Efron star in the new Netflix film Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile, which centers on the relationship between serial killer Ted Bundy and his onetime girlfriend Liz. As you can imagine, their dynamics as a couple are intense, tumultuous, and toxic.
Which is the polar opposite to the real-life friendship of Efron and Collins. We had the two costars stop by Glamour's offices before their movie dropped and complete a friendship test. And what transpired is the sweetest, warmest thing you'll watch all day.
The two did not hold back when it came to giving compliments to each other. Fun fact: Efron is apparently a master at showering people with praise but hates receiving it in return. Collins, meanwhile, is an expert baker—a trait that she shares with Taylor Swift, as Efron points out.

Lily Collins and Zac Efron are receiving strong reviews for their performances in Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile. Collins claimed in an interview with The Guardian she was visited by the ghosts of Bundy's victims while filming the movie.
“I started being woken up by flashes of images, like the aftermath of a struggle,” she told the publication. “I discovered that 3:00 A.M. is the time when the veil between the realms is the thinnest and one can be visited.”
She continued, “I didn’t feel scared—I felt supported. I felt like people were saying: ‘We’re here listening. We’re here to support. Thank you for telling the story.’”
Efron, meanwhile, had difficulty separating himself from the role during production. "I’ve never played a role in which I really have to separate myself from when I go home at night and it was almost impossible," he told reporters while discussing the movie, according to Daily Mail. "I’d like to say that I did it successfully but I couldn’t."
