Zac Efron’s look in a new Netflix movie has left fans scratching their heads. The actor, known for his charming looks, appears with much wider jaws and stockier facial features, sparking a flurry of reactions.
- Many expressed confusion over his different face, with comments flooding social media.
- Zac addressed these changes, attributing them to a past injury.
- His explanation did little to quench fans’ curiosity.
- Some fans defended him, while others compared him to different fictional characters.
Watching Zac Efron in his latest Netflix film, ‘A Family Affair,’ fans couldn’t help but notice his significantly altered appearance. One viewer commented, ‘Trying to watch #AFamilyAffair with #ZacEfron, but I’m way too distracted by whatever he did to his beautiful face, why would he do that to himself?’ This sparked a string of reactions questioning his new look.
Despite Efron explaining in 2022 that his dramatic facial changes were due to a severe fall that ‘shattered his jaw,’ fans still speculated about potential plastic surgeries. Another commented, ‘WTF has he done to his face???’ highlighting ongoing confusion.
In a past incident, while promoting ‘The Iron Claw,’ Efron revealed he had slipped and hit his chin against a granite fountain at home. This accident caused his jaw muscles to grow, altering his facial structure. He further elaborated that his masseter muscles ‘just grew,’ leading to his transformation.
As rumors persisted, Efron’s appearance continued to be a hot topic on social media. A tweet about his face reportedly goes viral ‘literally every month,’ with fans repeatedly explaining his jaw injury.
Friends and fans stood by Zac. One defended, ‘A tweet about Zac Efron’s face goes viral literally every month & every single time someone has to explain what happened to his jaw & how he had to get reconstructive surgery & what not, this sh** is tiring.’
During an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Zac mentioned that he wasn’t aware of the social media frenzy until his mother asked if he had undergone surgery. He stated, ‘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.’
In the 2021 Earth Day video with Bill Nye, fans had also commented on his noticeably different jawline. Speculations about plastic surgery swirled, yet he consistently attributed the changes to his jaw-shattering accident.
Zac’s friend, Kyle Sandilands, stepped in to clear the air on ‘The Kyle and Jackie O Show,’ insisting Zac hadn’t had any plastic surgery. ‘It’s like getting a Picasso and having a kid finger paint all over it. Why bother?’ he questioned, emphasizing Zac’s natural good looks.
Despite Zac Efron’s explanations, his fans remain divided over the reasons behind his new look.
