Did he or didn\u2019t he? High School Musical<\/i><\/span><\/a> alum Zac Efron<\/b><\/span><\/a> has looked somewhat unrecognizable over the years<\/span>\u00a0\u2014 but did he <\/span>ever<\/span> get plastic surgery<\/span><\/a> on his face? <\/span>Some fans have speculated about the matter, but the actor has set the record straight in interviews.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n In a cover interview with Men\u2019s Health<\/em><\/a> published in September 2022, Zac revealed he badly injured his jaw after slipping and smacking his chin against the granite corner of a fountain in his house. He said that, as a result, the masseter muscles in his face used for chewing \u201cjust grew\u201d and \u201cgot really, really big,\u201d which gave his jawline a larger appearance.<\/p>\n Plastic surgery buzz began when the Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile<\/em> actor appeared in Bill Nye\u2019s \u201cEarth Day Musical\u201d special for Facebook Watch in April 2021, and seemed to be sporting an augmented jaw and lips. Fans quickly took to Twitter to speculate about Zac\u2019s appearance.<\/p>\n \u201cLMAO, looks like he got stung by a bee,\u201d one user wrote, while another added, \u201cZac Efron was way too inspired by The Weeknd<\/b><\/span><\/a>\u2018s face shape.\u201d <\/span>The Weeknd<\/span> shocked fans in 2020 when he debuted a heavily augmented new face<\/span><\/a> \u2014 which, instead of plastic surgery, ended up being incredible prosthetics work for the \u201cSave Your Tears\u201d music video.<\/span><\/p>\n However, many <\/span>fans were quick to defend Zac. One Twitter user reminded fans that his seemingly new face could possibly have been related to a previous injury from 2013. At the time, the A-lister slipped in a puddle at his home and suffered a gash that required stitches. <\/span><\/p>\n Zac\u2019s loyal fan base wasn\u2019t the only one to come to his defense. <\/span>His<\/span> pal and Australian talk show host Kyle Sandilands<\/b> <\/span>claimed<\/span> that \u201cof course\u201d the actor did not have any work done.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cI would know if he\u2019d had any plastic surgery,\u201d he explained in an April 2021 episode of \u201cThe Kyle and Jackie O Show\u201d podcast<\/a>. \u201cIt\u2019s like getting a Picasso and having a kid finger paint all over it. Why bother?\u201d<\/p>\n The Baywatch<\/em> star responded to rumors he underwent plastic surgery during a September 2022 interview with Entertainment Tonight<\/em>, saying that even his mother called to ask if he had work done.<\/p>\n \u201cMy mom told me. I never really read the internet, so, I don\u2019t really care,\u201d Zac explained about being unaware of the cosmetic work chatter, adding, \u201cIt was funny. It sucks. I almost died, but we\u2019re good.\u201d<\/p>\n Zac has surprised his supporters with his appearance in the past, as well. In 2020, fans were quick to comment on the actor\u2019s huskier look for his role in Baywatch<\/em>, which forced him to take on a dedicated diet and exercise routine.<\/p>\n \u201cI realized that when I was done with that movie, I don\u2019t ever want to be in that good of shape again,\u201d Zac told\u00a0Sean Evans<\/strong> while appearing on an episode of Hot Ones<\/em>\u00a0in April 2020<\/a>. \u201cYou\u2019re working with almost no wiggle room, right? You\u2019ve got things like water under your skin that you\u2019re worrying about, making your six-pack into a four-pack. S\u2013t like that it\u2019s just not \u2026 it\u2019s just stupid.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\nWhat Happened to Zac Efron?<\/h2>\n
