Starting a new job is hard, so you’re always looking to make some sort of connection with your co-workers through shared similarities. It makes forming friendships that much easier, you know? So that’s what Zac Efron and Zendaya did while filming The Greatest Showman. The two formed a friendship off-screen (not to mention, also an on-screen romance) and bonded over their mutual love of the King of Pop, Michael Jackson.And yes, this shared similiarity made falling in love on-screen so much easier.Talking with HelloGiggles, the duo explained that they wanted to make the love story between their characters — ringmaster Philipp and trapeze artist Anne — special. As Zendaya puts it: “So many of the themes in it are relevant and are things that we still combat today.” It was easy for them to do this — and make this special — because they both love Michael Jackson, or as Efron puts it, they’re both *huge* fans.“He was a huge impact on both of ur lives, and we could relate over that. I think that his message of love…and finding yourself…we connected and bonded over that. I don’t know, maybe somehow he worked his magic through us,” Efron told us.When asked how hard or easy it was to fall in love, Zendaya joked, “It’s just what we do.” It’s what they do, and they do it effortlessly. If you’re ready to watch these two lovingly gaze into one another’s eyes (and maybe they’re singing MJ in their head while they do it??) The Greatest Showman hits theaters on December 20th.

"From Now On"[Hugh Jackman:]I saw the sun begin to dimAnd felt that winter windBlow coldA man learns who is there for himWhen the glitter fades and the walls won't holdCause from then, rubbleWhat remainsCan only be what's trueIf all was lostIs more I gainCause it led me backTo youFrom now onThese eyes will not be blinded by the lightFrom now onWhat's waited till tomorrow starts tonightTonightLet this promise in me startLike an anthem in my heartFrom now onFrom now onI drank champagne with kings and queensThe politicians praised my nameBut those are someone else's dreamsThe pitfalls of the man I becameFor years and yearsI chased their cheersThe crazy speed of always needing moreBut when I stopAnd see you hereI remember who all this was forAnd from now onThese eyes will not be blinded by the lightFrom now onWhat's waited till tomorrow starts tonightIt starts tonightAnd let the promise in me startLike an anthem in my heartFrom now onFrom now onFrom now on[Ensemble:]And we will come back homeAnd we will come back homeHome, again!...[Hugh Jackman:]From now on!...[Ensemble:]From now on!...[Hugh Jackman:]These eyes will not be blinded by the light!Whats waited till tomorrow starts tonight!It starts tonight!Let the promise in me startLike an anthem in my heartFrom now onFrom now on[Ensemble:]And we will come back homeAnd we will come back homeHome, again!...From now onFrom now onHome, again!...
