Zac Efron finally told the truth about the rumours that he had plastic surgery last year. Last April, rumours spread that his jawline looked different, and many people said he looked like he had plastic surgery in an Earth Day PSA. However, in a recent interview with Men’s Health, the actor told the truth about what happened to his face.
The Baywatch star said that his face has changed over the years and that it was mostly because he broke his jaw at home in November 2013. This made his face and jaw muscles have to work harder. The actor went on to say that he had to see a physical therapist to help him get better. The actor also said about the masseter muscles, “They just grew. They got really, really big.”
Zac also said that his mom told him about the plastic surgery rumours after people on the Internet couldn’t stop talking about how he had changed. He told Men’s Health, “If I cared as much about what other people thought of me as they may think I do, I wouldn’t be able to do this work.”
In the same interview, Efron also talked about how Baywatch changed his life and the problems he had with his body image while making the movie. The actor said that when he tried to get in shape, he started to have trouble sleeping and fell into a “pretty bad depression” for a long time.
