Commenting on the Friends star's recent passing, Efron admitted that Hollywood can be "isolating". "It can be incredibly lonely, being an actor and being in the spotlight. It definitely can be isolating.” "It's very important to reach out to friends and foster relationships where you can talk and share stories." Efron, 36, and Perry - who was found dead in a hot tub at his Los Angeles home in October at the age of 54 - starred alongside each other in the 2009 comedy 17 Again.
