Earlier this year, the California native tested his acting chops by playing the father of a girl with superpowers in the critically panned remake of Stephen King’s Firestarter.
As he turns 35, Daily Star takes a look inside his personal life.
Leaked nudes
Zac was one of a number of celebrities targeted in a leaked nudes scandal back in 2017.
Dubbed the Fappening 2.0, the actor’s ex-girlfriend Sami Miro had her phone hacked alongside the likes of Lucy Hale, Maisie Williams and Emily Ratajkowski.
The couple dated for two years but broke up in April 2016.
A number of naked photos of Sami were made public in the leak, with photos of Zac also shared.
The Baywatch star was pictured in bed with Sami, while another snap saw them appear in a bathroom together.
Red carpet faux pas

Zac is no stranger to walking the red carpet but suffered an unfortunate faux pas when walking the red carpet at the premiere of The Lorax in 2012.
The actor, who was then 24, was left red-faced after a condom pack fell from his pocket at the event.
Seeing as Zac was voicing a 12 year old in the film, the moment proved quite controversial at the time but eventually worked in Zac’s favour.
Following the condom slip-up, Zac was cast in a string of raunchier films including Bad Grandpa and Bad Neighbours.
Broken jaw

Zac concerned fans last year when he was pictured looking puffy-faced and remarkably different.
Following speculation that he had underwent filler injections or plastic surgery, Zac sat down with Men’s Health and revealed that his changed appearance was actually due to a household accident.
The actor broke his jaw after tripping while running around his house and smashing his face against the ground and his swollen face was due to muscles in his jaw healing.
Zac later revealed he could have died in the incident.
Mel B romp
Zac has enjoyed a strong of highly-publicised romances.
After dating his HSM co-star Vanessa Hudgens and fashion designer Sami Miro, the Hairspray star was linked with Spice Girl Mel B in 2018.
The duo reportedly connected on a celebrity dating app and enjoyed a steamy night together after initially exchanging messages.
A source told The Sun: “He ended up driving over to her pad. They hit it off and spent a few enjoyable hours together.'”

At the age of 35, Zac has appeared in over 30 Hollywood movies and his star continues to rise.
In 2020, he surprised fans by collaborating with Netflix on his very own travel series Down To Earth With Zac Efron.
Having starred in the huge blockbuster success The Greatest Showman in 2019, Zac currently has a string of new projects in the pipeline and unsurprisingly, has a lot of money to show for it.
As of August, Wealthy Gorilla estimated the star had a net worth of around $25 million.
