Zac Efron

In a new interview, the actor addresses something called "Jaw-gate" that apparently occurred.

The shattered jaw, however, was the most visible, and the most hotly discussed. Despite the extensive training the actor has undergone in the past for films like Baywatch and Neighbors, Efron didn’t injure himself that way. Well, he remembers it, and in a new interview with [Men’s Health](https://www.menshealth.com/entertainment/a40956681/zac-efron-greatest-beer-run-ever-interview/), the The Greatest Beer Run Ever star pours water on the fiery rumors with an objectively silly (and painful) story.

Zac Efron came clean about the plastic surgery rumors and admitted to falling into a deep depression after starring in 2017's "Baywatch."

I definitely wouldn’t be able to do this work.” After relocating to Australia, Efron became vegan for a short time and dealt with his self-proclaimed agoraphobia. So I tried it, and I was successful. “I started to develop insomnia, and I fell into a pretty bad depression, for a long time. “That ‘Baywatch’ look, I don’t know if that’s really attainable,” Efron reflected. So I don’t need to do that.

Zac Efron, the High School Musical alum, talks about how the dangers of the extreme training he did for Baywatch. Now he's reinventing himself in a healthy ...

“I told him he was funny,” he says ruefully, “but now I’m like, Ah, that’s not it!” Efron is funny, but the valet is convinced he’s committed a faux pas. “He could be like the Twilight guy,” he says. He appreciates the “self-aware bro” description and discusses that kind of character (“somebody that’s learning, that’s listening, that has an open heart and mind”) with tenderness. “He’s a little more edgy,” he says of the actor. Though Efron was underwhelmed by the roles he was being considered for at the time, he was instantly taken with The Greatest Beer Run Ever, written and directed by Oscar winner Peter Farrelly of Green Book, a film that the Internet panned but Efron—and, controversially, the Academy—loved. “I started to develop insomnia,” he says, “and I fell into a pretty bad depression, for a long time. For the first time in his working life, Efron had a window to take a real break. While he’s jovial and off the cuff during the rest of our conversation, as he talks about the film, his voice gets quieter, his wording more precise. Initially he was excited about Baywatch—he thought it could be a fun action franchise, and he liked his character—but the recovery walloped him. He has played several very approachable characters, the type of guys a friend of mine calls “self-aware bros.” He also played Ted Bundy in Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile, but that doesn’t put anyone off. As we peruse the menu at the steakhouse, he reveals that this is his first meal out in a long time. The sharp lines of his arms were apparent even through a dust tornado and even from a safe distance away.

Zac Efron recalled having first learned about online rumors he had plastic surgery from his mom in a new interview with Men's Health.

"I started to develop insomnia," he said, "and I fell into a pretty bad depression, for a long time. I much prefer to have an extra, you know, 2 to 3 percent body fat." So I don't need to do that. He recalled waking up to find his chin bone hanging off his face at the time of his accident. Zac added, "That Baywatch look, I don't know if that's really attainable. Ultimately they chalked it up to taking way too many diuretics for way too long, and it messed something up."

Zac Efron addressed his 2021 face transformation, explaining why muscles in his face became "really, really big" after he shattered his jaw.

The “Down to Earth with Zac Efron” star, who did not feel better until six months after filming wrapped, remembered, “I had a really hard time recentering. … I would know if he’d had any plastic surgery.” “Why bother?

Zac Efron has addressed the cosmetic surgery rumours, sharing details of how a freak accident caused his appearance to change.

Zac will next star in comedy The Greatest Beer Run Ever alongside Russell Crowe and Bill Murray. Why bother?’ Kyle said on the Kyle and Jackie O Show. It’s like getting a Picasso and having a kid finger paint all over it. The adventure will follow a man who left New York in 1967 to bring beer to his childhood buddies in the Army while they fought in Vietnam. It’s not only Zac’s face that has changed in recent years as he famously bulked up for his role in the big-screen Baywatch remake. In a new interview, the Hollywood star revealed he slipped on a sock while running through his house, and ended up with a broken jaw that caused the muscles in his face to swell up.
