Fans Think Zac Efron Looks Like David Hasselhoff After His Appearance On ‘Jimmy Fallon’ And We Can’t Unsee It

Zac Efron has finally addressed the plastic surgery rumors that have been doing the rounds over the past few years in a very candid interview with Men’s Health. Although the 34-year-old High School Musical actor has always been a Hollywood heartthrob with beyond-enviable good looks, the drastic change in his appearance over the past few years hasn’t gone unnoticed, with fans convinced that he underwent plastic surgery to achieve a bigger and even more chiseled jawline, and a tighter, wrinkle-free complexion.

However, according to the Neighbors actor’s cover interview for the mag’s October issue, the change in his jaw is supposedly down to a freak accident that happened in his home, which resulted in him being knocked unconscious after slipping while running in socks and hitting his jaw on a granite fountain! *Omg!*

The Greatest Beer Run Ever actor revealed that when he regained consciousness following the accident, his chin bone was “hanging off” his face, and he promptly underwent a lot of physical therapy to rehabilitate his jaw. He told the pub that he had to add masseter muscles to the inside of his face, and his jaw had to work over time throughout the healing process, resulting in the huge change. Emphasis on the huge! “The masseters just grew,” Efron said. “They just got really, really big.”

And it wasn’t just the changes in his face that the Greatest Showman actor addressed in the tell-all interview, as he also spoke openly about his body; in particular, how his appearance in the 2017 Baywatch movie is essentially unattainable, and required a *lot* of tricks to achieve!

“That Baywatch look, I don’t know if that’s really attainable. There’s just too little water in the skin,” he confessed. “Like, it’s fake, it looks CGId. And that required Lasix, powerful diuretics, to achieve. So, I don’t need to do that. I much prefer to have an extra, you know, two to three percent body fat.”

The Gold star then went into more detail about the negative effects of that intense level of training, saying that the work required for his super-sculpted Baywatch body left him with depression and insomnia. “I fell into a pretty bad depression for a long time,” he recalled. “Something about that experience burned me out. I had a really hard time recentering. Ultimately, they chalked it up to taking way too many diuretics for way too long, and it messed something up.” Wow – we had no idea!
