What happened to Zac Efron’s jaw? The Iron Claw actor just set the internet alight again for his ‘big’ face – even after putting plastic surgery rumours to rest last year
- Many fans were shocked when they saw Efron’s latest interview promoting new film The Iron Claw with Jeremy Allen White – with many still accusing the High School Musical alum of lying about surgery
- The former Disney star has denied going under the knife though, saying his face looks the way it does because he accidentally smashed his jaw on a granite fountain, but not everyone is convinced
Zac Efron has undergone multiple transformations in the public eye since he shot to fame in the early 2000s.
First he was a teen heartthrob in Disney’s High School Musical franchise. Then he got jacked for his stint playing a lifeguard on Baywatch. But his latest reveal hasn’t been met with as much enthusiasm – in 2021, he went viral for suddenly appearing in public with a “big” face and strangely puffy jawline – a markedly different look from his previously lean, boyish facial structure. It also kicked off a slew of plastic surgery rumours, which Efron has denied.
This month, Efron began trending yet again due to his changing face shape. In an interview with Entertainment Weekly promoting his upcoming film The Iron Claw starring Jeremy Allen White, fans were reportedly “shocked” after watching a video of the 36-year-old actor.
Comments like “Why does David Hasselhoff look like Zac Efron?” and “He looks like Thanos now” appeared on the publication’s Instagram video featuring the 17 Again star. Others were quick to defend the actor, writing that they still find him “hot” and “beautiful inside and outside”.
So, let’s get to the bottom of this – what happened to Zac Efron’s face?
The jaw in question
In 2021, Efron surprised netizens when pictures of him surfaced with a noticeably larger jaw, which immediately sparked cosmetic surgery rumours.
Was it surgery – or fillers?
