Zac Efron and Jeremy Allen White suit up as they lead the all-star attendees at The Iron Claw premiere in Los Angeles
Zac Efron and Jeremy Allen White joined forces for the all-star premiere of their upcoming biopic, The Iron Claw.
The handsome leading men were pictured on the red carpet, held at the DGA Theater Complex in Los Angeles on Monday evening.
The Iron Claw is a drama based on the Von Erich family, who created a dynasty that made a huge impact on wrestling in their heyday in the 1980s until tragedy struck, again, and again.
The Von Erich Brothers are portrayed by Efron, Allen, Harris Dickinson, and Stanley Simons.
Efron sharpened up for his moment on the red carpet in a slick grey suit paired with a button down sweater and glossy leather shoes.

Efron recently confessed the biggest injury he endured on the set of The Iron Claw was his ego.
'It was the very first time that I had to enter the Sportatorium in Kevin's full costume, which was just, frankly, a Speedo, or trunks,' the actor recalled at a press conference following the film's premiere in Dallas, Texas. '
'And everybody was out there, there was this huge crowd and the lights were on. I just remember in that moment thinking, how the hell did I end up here? What is going on?'
As the crowd screamed and shouted, Efron recalled the thought that went through his mind at the time: 'This is Magic Mike,' referencing the 2012 movie about male stripping.

The San Luis Obispo, California native added, 'In that moment I was frozen in time just going: This is it. This is the end. How did you get here? What choices have you made?'
The Baywatch alum would also reveal how his real-life character Von Erich motivated him to hit the gym and get buff to play the role.
'The physicality he brought to the ring every single day was really unique. It changed wrestling,' Efron told Entertainment Tonight, before adding, 'I knew that was going to be the hardest [thing] for me to master and get right. So, I put everything I had into it.'
The real-life Kevin Von Erich, now 66, complimented the film’s consultant and stunt wrestling coordinator Chavo Guerrero at the press conference for 'doing a great job pushing them and getting them ready. Because it was a lot more difficult than it looks and they did so well.'
When asked about what he thought of professional wrestling now that he's had first-hand experience training and performing in the ring, Efron said he gained 'a tremendous respect for the athleticism involved.'
