The Hollywood star’s spokesperson described the incident as “minor” and simply insisted “He is fine”. It was not explained why he had to have medical treatment.

However, this is not the first time he’s ran into trouble in regard to his health, as back in 2013 he had to be resuscitated after a suspected drug overdose.

Bystanders at a party were worried after he “collapsed” in a New York hotel suite. This came shortly after he spent time in rehab for addiction issues, according to Page Six at the time.

Zac, who was 25 at the time, was allegedly struggling with a “serious” cocaine addiction, but National Enquirer also alleged there were other substances in the mix.

According to the publication, Zac previously overdosed on the powerful painkiller oxycodone, which is coined as ‘hillbilly heroin’. The magazine reported that after boozing and using the prescription medication, Zac ended up collapsing and had to be resuscitated by other partygoers.

One eyewitness said: “I was scared for him. If he doesn’t clean himself up, he’ll be Hollywood’s next big drug tragedy.”

More recently, Zac has been doing the promo for his upcoming movie The Iron Claw, and fans have noticed something different about him.

Fans of Zac Efron were shocked by his unfamiliar appearance during a recent interview. In a new clip, the star looked to have a more pronounced jawline and a difference in facial features.

In 2022, the Hollywood hunk explained his change in look and put it down to when he suffered a shattered jaw after he accidentally shattered his chin on a granite fountain. Prior to him setting the record straight, fans assumed the transformation was due to plastic surgery.

In 2022, he told Men’s Health Magazine, that he had slipped on a pair of socks while running at home, causing his chin to smash with a granite fountain.

He claimed this caused the masseter muscles on the inside of his face and jaw to ‘compensate’ for his injury, which caused them to grow in size. Zac said: “The masseters just grew. They just got really, really big.”
