Zac Efron thinks Seth Rogen makes him funnier.
The former 'High School Musical' star says having his 'Neighbours' co-star produce the comedy helped him become more entertaining because Seth has the ability to make "anything funny" and he admires the actor's sense of humour.
Speaking during an appearance on BBC Radio 1's 'Breakfast Show', Zac, 26, gushed: "I have always appreciated Seth's sense of humour, because it's so honest, it's really self-deprecating, and I've identified with it since I was super young. He's so good. He makes anything funny.
"He does [make me funnier], he passes the Seth energy on. He makes everybody funny."
Zac - who stars as a hell-raising college fraternity member that causes chaos when Seth moves in next door - enjoyed having the actor as his producer, and would love his co-star to take on that role in all of his movies.
He added: "Our relationship never changes, I wish Seth could produce every film I'm in, he kind of just takes the lead he is always setting the pace and the tone for everybody. He helped the director, Nicholas Stoller, that's what Seth is able to do, ground everything. He is a great idea guy, and he's great to improvise with."

Kit Harington wants to cut his hair when 'Game of Thrones' is over.
The 27-year-old actor - who plays Jon Snow in the popular series - is hoping to take on different roles after his run on the fantasy drama comes to an end and is desperate to chop his curly locks too.
He told Rolling Stone magazine: "I told my agent, 'No more swords, no more horses.
"You [don't want to] get stuck in things. And maybe I can cut my f***ing hair."
Kit thinks he shares similarities with his alter-ego since they're both "ambitious" but he worries about how he will be able to be successful without stepping on other peoples toes.
He explained: "Snow's a black sheep. The thing that drives both of us is more similar than you might think - he's driven by ambition. I've always been ambitious too.
"I'm very ambitious. But how do I balance that with not f***ing other people up around me?"
And the hunky star thinks his alter ego is the perfect hero for the modern world.
He said: "The show started when the economy was very bad.
"People were looking for a hero trying to make his way through a dark world that they didn't understand. That's Jon Snow."

Chris Brown has been ordered to stay in jail for at least another week.
Lawyers acting for the 24-year-old singer - who had been due to stand trial this week for misdemeanour assault charges for allegedly hitting Parker Adams and breaking his nose - appealed for him to be allowed out of prison yesterday (23.04.14), but Jude Victor Greenberg denied the request until a probation revocation hearing takes place on May 1.
Chris' arrest for the assault, which took place in Washington D.C. in October marked a violation of the probation which was set in 2009 following his assault on then-girlfriend Rihanna, but he was allowed to enter rehab rather than prison.
However, when he was kicked out of the clinic for rule breaking, he was subsequently jailed and his lawyer argued it was unfair he had been in prison for 39 days without a hearing.
Another lawyer for the 'Yeah 3x' hitmaker - whose bodyguard Christopher Hollosy has been convicted of assaulting Adams - branded the ruling "over the top".
Mark Geragos said earlier in the day: "I think it's a little over the top to have him in custody on this misdemeanour when everybody saw the bodyguard's trial and which was nothing more than a bloody nose.
"And you have got the bodyguard who was convicted and who readily admitted he was the one who did the punching. So all of this is much ado about nothing."
Chris' trial has suffered delays since his bodyguard was found guilty of misdemeanour assault on Monday (21.04.14) and is now expected to take place in June.
Hollosy, who will be sentenced in June and faces a maximum of six months in jail and a $1,000 fine, was originally scheduled to testify on behalf of the 'Turn Up the Music' singer, but after he was found guilty, he decided he would not testify unless the prosecutors offered him immunity, as he plans to appeal his conviction.
If convicted, the entertainer faces a maximum of six months in jail and $1,000 fine, but he also faces up to four more years in jail in California as a result of violating the terms of his probation.

Amanda Bynes has had her driving license returned.
The 'Easy A' actress - who underwent a stint in rehab late last year following months of erratic behaviour - had her license suspended following two hit-and-run charges and an arrest for driving under the influence (DUI) in 2012, but she was spotted driving a black BMW in Los Angeles at the weekend and Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) records show she is now legally allowed back on the road.
The 28-year-old star - who was ordered by a judge in September 2012 to hand over her car keys as she continued getting behind the wheel despite the ban - is still receiving outpatient treatment since leaving rehab in December, and is "devoted to living her life as healthy as possible" but is no longer taking any medication.
Her attorney Tamar Arminak said: "Amanda continues to undergo outpatient therapy several times a week. Amanda currently is on zero medication.
"She's never had a history of abusing alcohol or hard drugs, and she's proud to say she's been marijuana free for the past nine months. (She) is doing extremely well."
The 'She's the Man' actress is currently enrolled at the Fashion Institute of Design of Merchandising and has no plans to reignite her Hollywood career.
Her mother Lynn has also denied reports her daughter suffers from schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, insisting she "has no mental illness whatsoever".

Bob Geldof delivering a eulogy for his daughter Peaches has been described as the "bravest thing" by close friend Alan McGee.
The Boomtown Rats singer spoke at his daughter's funeral on Monday (21.04.14), after she was found dead in home in Wrotham, Kent on April 7, and record label boss Alan was left shaken after the ceremony at St Mary Magdalene and St Lawrence Church in Davington, Kent, near to Peaches' home.
He told The Daily Mirror newspaper: "It was very heavy when I saw Bob help carry his daughter down through the chapel.
"It was incredibly tragic but I think he handled it as well as any man could.
"The bravest thing I think I've ever seen him do is give the eulogy to his daughter who has died."
Alan, who has discovered bands such as Oasis and Primal Scream, joined guests including Kate Moss and her husband Jamie Hince, Trudie Styler, Sarah Ferguson, Jools Holland, Nick Grimshaw and Jo Wood at the funeral, as they paid their respects to the 25-year-old star.
TV presenter Alexa Chung, Razorlight frontman Johnny Borrell, singer Eliza Doolittle, actress Jaime Winstone and Rolling Stones bassist Bill Wyman were also among the mourners, along with her family.
The blonde beauty leaves behind her husband Thomas Cohen and their sons Phaedra, who turned one today (24.04.14), and Astala, two.
Peaches' death is being treated as "non-suspicious", but an autopsy proved to be inconclusive earlier this month.
The star's family now have to wait for toxicology tests to be carried out in coming weeks.

Justin Timberlake left nightclub waitresses with a £2,450 tip.
The 'Mirrors' hitmaker was a partying with his entourage of 25 until 4.20am at the Crystal Cologne club in the German city, after being invited by the nightclub owner to enjoy drinks on the house following a concert at the Lanxess Arena.
The staff were left "amazed" with the generosity of the 33-year-old singer - who is married to 'Playing for Keeps' star Jessica Biel - and his "mood" throughout the night.
Club manager Yunus Arslan, 40, told The Sun newspaper: "He was in a great mood, a real gentleman."
Nina Blum, 28, who was among staff serving him, added: "We were all really amazed."
Although his tip was very generous, the 'Suit and Tie' star could more than afford it as earlier this month, Billboard's annual Money Makers list showed he earned a reported $34.1million in the US in the last year.
Justin's 'The 20/20 Experience World Tour' kicked off in November last year when he performed at the Barclays Center in New York and has since had a number of sparkling reviews.
He is next set to take to the stage Berlin on April 24 while he is on the European leg of his tour before he heads to Asia.

Rita Ora enjoys whips in the bedroom.
The 'I Will Never Let You Down' singer - who is dating Scottish DJ-and-producer Calvin Harris - says her upcoming acting role in the 'Fifty Shades of Grey' movie is "perfect" for her as she is into some of the steamy bondage acts the film will depict.
In an interview with 'The Breakfast Club' on America's Power 105.1 FM, she said: "I mean, I like a whip. This is why 'Fifty Shades' is perfect for me because I really love the book. But I like unexpected stuff. A tiny bit of [pain], not too much."
The 23-year-old beauty also revealed she is looking forward to taking a long break with boyfriend Calvin in the near future and thinks they're "ready" for a holiday together.
She added: "I think [he's] ready for us to go away together, I haven't been away with him in a long time. I want to take my weave out, so it will be nice to spend some quality time."
One subject that proved contentious for the 'R.I.P.' singer, however, was the recurring rumour she once had an affair with her Roc Nation record label boss, Jay Z, who is married to superstar Beyonce.
Rita bit back to the radio show's hosts: "Don't you dare disrespect Beyonce like that ever again in your entire life. You should know better than that ... that's just straight up disrespect. You can't even go there."

George Clooney got into a heated argument over United States President Barack Obama.
The 52-year-old actor, who has vigorously campaigned for the democratic leader in US elections and considers Obama a "long-time friend", abruptly stormed off while dining with billionaire hotel and casino owner Steve Wynn in Las Vegas earlier this month after the magnate branded the US leader an "a**hole".
In a statement issued through his publicist, George told the Las Vegas Review-Journal: "He called the president an a**hole, that is a fact. I said the president was my long-time friend and then he said, 'Your friend is an a**hole.'
"At that point I told Steve that he was an a**hole and I wasn't going to sit at his table while he was being such a jackass."
However, it seems the pair have differing accounts of the incident as Steve claims 'The Monuments Men' star "got drunk" on premium vodka and threw a "hissy fit" when a fellow diner at their table made a joke about former Soviet Union president Mikhail Gorbachev.
Steve added: "Clooney's fun to be with when he's sober. If you have a chance to drink with him, you want to get there early, and don't stay late."
According to eyewitnesses, the tense scene nearly became violent as Steve's bodyguards quickly appeared in the midst of the argument after George pointed a finger at the entrepreneur.
An insider told the New York Post newspaper: "Wynn's three goon-like bodyguards immediately loomed up behind Rande [Gerber, George's business partner] and George. Before Wynn's bodyguards could touch them, George and Rande got up and walked out."

John Legend thinks he'll be a "good dad".
The 'All Of Me' singer, who married Sports Illustrated model Chrissy Teigen last year, is looking forward to starting a family with his wife and isn't daunted by the thought of becoming a father for the first time.
He told BANG Showbiz: "I'm looking forward to it [having children]. We definitely want to have multiple kids, I don't like the only child thing.
"I grew up with three siblings ... I like the idea of that. Hopefully, if our biological processes are working, we'll have a few. I think I'd be a pretty good dad. The hardest part would be with my schedule and my travel, but I have the temperament to be a good dad."
The 35-year-old star will encourage his children to listen to music and appreciate art, even if they don't show talent for either.
He said: "I'd like them to have good taste in music, even if they're not talented. I think if you surround them with art and music they just find what they love to do the most. Whether it's music, painting or dancing. I want them to have an appreciation for art."
John's album 'Love in the Future' is out now.
