Zac Efron hospitalized in Spain after minor swimming incident

On Saturday evening, alarming reports emerged concerning Zac Efron. According to TMZ, the star was found in a pool at a villa in Ibiza by two men who pulled him out of the water. It has not yet been determined whether the actor was at risk of drowning.

Representatives for Efron emphasized in an official statement that he was taken to the hospital solely as a "precautionary measure." According to international media, the celebrity left the hospital on Saturday morning and is recovering.

Efron has been travelling extensively around Europe recently. On July 26, he was seen in Paris during the opening ceremony of the Summer Olympic Games. He also visited the Greek islands of Mykonos and St. Tropez, partying on a yacht with an entourage of women and Gerard Butler.

In recent years, much has been written about Zac concerning his changed appearance, which—according to internet users—is most likely the result of a scalpel. In an interview with Men's Health Magazine in 2022, the actor squashed all speculations, asserting that his "new face" was the result of an unfortunate accident.

As he admitted, while at home, he slipped on a sock and hit the corner of a granite fountain with full force, after which he lost consciousness. The star vividly described that "his chin bone was hanging off his face," and the square appearance of his jaw is the result of "excessive compensation of the masseter muscles."
