Zac Efron tells Entertainment Weekly that his new Netflix comedy 'A Family Affair' is like Hollywood's version of 'The Office,' in which he plays a mega movie star out of touch with reality.

"The characters echo some things that we've maybe partially been through but then also just witnessed, being in the industry," Efron says.Sydney Bucksbaum is a writer at Entertainment Weekly covering all things pop culture – but TV is her one true love. She currently lives in Los Angeles but grew up in Chicago so please don't make fun of her accent when it slips out.want you to laugh at some of the most extreme aspects of celebrity culture — because they're in on the joke.

A lot of the scenes in the film revolve around the making of Chris' big-budget action movie, the third in a trilogy that catapulted him to global superstardom, and both King and Efron loved getting to satirize Hollywood through that storyline. "The funniest, fun stuff to pull from was the inside baseball knowledge of just being on set, like what the real stuff is like," King tells.

But it wasn't difficult for them to come up with new ideas own their own since, thanks to their decades of experience in Hollywood, they both found their characters and the script highly relatable. "The characters echo some things that we've maybe partially been through but then also just witnessed, being in the industry," Efron says. "I've witnessed a lot of things like this. And if you think about it, how would this feel for someone else that doesn't handle it and kind of reprocess it, it turns into something funny. And it makes for a really fun, flawed, but honest relationship for our characters, which I think is really special. It's awesome.
