Zac Efron reportedly hospitalized after Ibiza swimming pool incident
Actor Zac Efron was taken to a hospital in Spain following an incident while swimming at a luxury villa in Ibiza on Friday night. According to TMZ, Efron was discovered in the swimming pool by villa staff who promptly rescued him from the water. Though the details of the incident remain undisclosed, Efron's representative assured fans that the hospitalization was purely precautionary and described it as a minor incident. Fortunately, the actor is reported to be recovering well and has since been released from the hospital.
DailyMail.com has reached out to Efron's representative for further comments, but no additional information has been provided at this time.
Prior to the incident, Efron had joined Dutch DJ Martin Garrix on stage during one of his shows. The former teen idol has been enjoying his time in Ibiza and Europe over the past few weeks. Just two weeks ago, he was seen spending a leisurely afternoon on a yacht with friends in Ibiza, following his recent getaway to St. Tropez earlier in the month.
This incident comes more than a decade after Efron experienced a jaw injury when he slipped on a pair of socks at home. In an interview with Men's Health Magazine in 2022, Efron shared that he lost consciousness and woke up to find his chin bone dislocated. As a result of the injury, the masseter muscles in his face and jaw compensated for the trauma, causing a noticeable change in his appearance. Efron clarified that rumors of plastic surgery were unfounded, attributing the transformation solely to his past injury.
Despite the scrutiny and speculation surrounding his appearance, Efron expressed that he does not value others' opinions of his physical appearance and remains focused on his work. He learned of the viral chatter surrounding his jawline through a phone call from his mother, indicating his detachment from social media discussions.
While Efron's health scare may have caused concern among fans, it appears that the incident was minor and he is now on the road to recovery. His ability to handle the incident with grace and not let external judgments impact his self-worth is a testament to his professionalism and resilience.
