Efron appeared on Lopez Tonight Thursday, and host George Lopez challenged the Charlie St. Cloud star's reputation that he's open to eat just about anything.
"If there is something and and everyone's afraid to eat it, I'm open to try new things," Efron said, noting that he's eaten delicacies like live larvae ("tastes like creamed corn") in the past.
That's when Lopez brought out a few special dishes for the adventurous Efron to sink into: Scorpion toast, Taiwan Crickets and a Super-Worm Cocktail.

The former High School Musical star, 22, also commented on the success of the heir apparent to his teen idol throne, Justin Bieber.
