Jawline changes spark controversy.
His jawline seemed noticeably different, and social media was quick to react.
Speculations flew about potential cosmetic surgery, with fans comparing his recent and older photos.
Social media uproar.
Unaware of the social media storm, Zac stayed off social platforms.
It wasn’t until his mom called that he learned about the speculation.
Surprisingly, Zac wasn’t fazed by the rumors.
“If I valued what other people thought of me to the extent that they may think I do, I definitely wouldn’t be able to do this work,” he said.
Kyle Sandilands defends Zac.
When the rumors first surfaced, radio host Kyle Sandilands quickly defended Zac.
“It’s like getting a Picasso and having a kid finger paint all over it,” Kyle quipped.
“Why bother?… I would know if he’d had any plastic surgery.”
But Zac revealed the truth in an interview with Men’s Health Magazine.
Body transformations revealed.
Beyond the jawline gossip, Zac opened up about his body transformations.
Remember his insanely ripped look for the Baywatch movie?
Zac confessed that physique was far from sustainable.
“That Baywatch look wasn’t really attainable,” he admitted.
He went on to call it “fake” and “CGI’d.”
Fitness regime fallout.
The intense regimen for Baywatch took a toll on Zac’s mental and physical health.
He revealed he fell into a “pretty bad depression” due to the grueling fitness regime.
Struggles with nental health revealed.
“I started to develop insomnia, and I fell into a pretty bad depression, for a long time,” Zac shared.
The extreme routine left him burned out and struggling to recenter.
His latest revelation about his jawline transformation adds another layer to his authenticity.
Reason for Zac Efron’s changing appearance revealed.
No, it wasn’t plastic surgery, but a freak accident at home that altered his appearance.
Efron recounted slipping on a pair of socks while running at his home.
The slip led to a nasty fall, smashing his chin into a granite fountain.
The impact was severe; he lost consciousness and woke up with “his chin bone hanging off his face.”
Masseter muscles overcompensate.
His chewing muscles, known as the masseters, had to overcompensate due to the injury.
“The masseters just grew,” Zac explained. “They just got really, really big.”
Zac Efron’s honesty about his injury and its aftermath is both surprising and refreshing.
In a world quick to judge, Zac’s openness is a reminder of the real lives behind the headlines.
As fans, we can only admire Zac’s resilience and authenticity.
