Trick of the Stars

Zac Efron acted quite camera shy while girlfriend Vanessa Hudgens held tightly to his arm as they left a showing of Avatar in Los Angeles, CA on January 3, 2010.

People in the public eye, who are constantly being photographed by Paparazzi, have a few tricks to ruin the picture. Off course we've all seen the sunglasses that cover the eyes, but as we see Zac do here, we see him also cover his mouth.

I also see this behavior often, especially when moving through public areas such as hotel lobbies, it is an attempt to remain as anonymous as possible and not attract attention to themselves. The more they conceal of their faces the less likely that they will be recognized and stopped by others wanting an opportunity to meet the star. If they travel with security, the security are usually well in front and in back of them so it does not appear like the star has an entourage- which would defeat the concealment of their identify.

It is also why several high profile stars ride motorcycles with full helmets, they become just another normal guy getting from one place to another.
