The #MTVMovieAwards presents an award to an actor every year for “Best Shirtless Performance,” and what happened after the award was presented tonight is much of the reason singer/actor Zac Efron was trending for a time on Twitter.
When Efron accepted the award, actress and singer Rita Ora removed his shirt:
