Watch Zac Efron cry and be incredibly charming on 'Hot Ones'
Watch Next

We're in an unprecedented time in the world, one where we're all stuck at home and have the inclination to refresh Twitter and watch news unfold all day. It's left us anxious, confused, and with more eye strain than ever before.

Thankfully, Sean Evans and Hot Ones are here for us with an antidote — even if it's just for 28 minutes — to get our eyeballs off the news: Zac Efron eating increasingly spicy wings. Let the High School Musical star distract you by eating chicken wings and telling anecdotes from his illustrious career. Stay long enough to see Efron cry (over hot wings, not current events)!
