Forget ripped abs and beach bods. Zac Efron’s latest challenge isn’t a wild spring break movie—it’s internet trolls criticizing his appearance. Here’s the twist: he shattered his jaw a few years ago and almost like, died, yet now gets slammed for simply aging. This double standard seems out of control.
Let’s delve into why Efron’s new look sparks a conversation about men, aging, and the pressure to defy time.
From Disney Darling to Body-Shaming Target: Zac Efron’s New Look Sparks Controversy
Remember the golden boy of Disney musicals who stole our hearts in High School Musical? Yep,Zac Efron. Well, get ready for a plot twist, because the internet’s having a meltdown over his appearance in his new Netflix movie,A Family Affair.Apparently, critics are less concerned with the plot and more interested in critiquing his jawline. Social media’s abuzz with comments like“He almost f*king died bruh shut the fk up,”a testament to the kind of maturity the internet offers.
he almost fucking died bruh shut the fuck up about this alreadyhttps://t.co/VObhIUjciv
Honestly he’s still very handsome, possibly even more handsome than before

He doesn’t look bad at all and looks like Zac Efron to me
Plus he’s honestly still very handsome, debatably even more handsome than before
Here’s the thing: Efron has been pretty open about the whole jaw situation. Back in 2022, he revealed he actually snapped his jaw after a nasty fall at home. Instead of receiving sympathy, however, he’s bombarded with plastic surgery accusations (viaEconomic Times).
Efron’s not the only one facing the wrath of internet trolls. His co-star, the ever-stunningNicole Kidman, is also getting flak for, well, just aging. Because apparently, Hollywood stars are supposed to be ageless robots, not, you know, human beings.
Zac Efron, however, seems to be taking it all in stride. He’s famously known for avoiding social media, so the negativity probably isn’t reaching him anyway. Plus, this isn’t his first rodeo. He’s spoken out before about the toll extreme body transformations take on him, both physically and mentally.

The real kicker, though? The criticism Efron faces is a glaring example of our society’s double standard. Actresses get trolled for wrinkles, while actors get accused of going under the knife for simply…aging. It’s time to give it a rest, folks. Let’s celebrate celebrities for their talent, not judge them for the inevitable passage of time (or the occasional household accident). After all, Efron almost died. Maybe a little less body shaming and a little more compassion would be nice.
Zac Efron Drops Truth Bomb:Get’cha Head in the GameFilmed in 5 Takes (Whaaaat?)
Remember that mind-blowingGet’cha Head in the Gamescene from the High School Musical? In aVanity Fair interview, Zac Efron recently revealed that the entire scene was filmed in just five takes—with no fancy CGI involved whatsoever.
Efron spilled the tea about the film’s tight filming schedule, which is kinda shocking for a movie that became a global phenomenon. Apparently, the budget wasn’t exactly Iron Man-worthy, so those slick basketball moves were all legit skills. Efron says he and his crew hustled hard, practicing for just two days before nailing the scene in one epic go.

“Man, that takes me back,”Efron said.“We were young and SO motivated.”So, the next time you watchGet’cha Head in the Game, remember the sweat and dedication that went into those seemingly effortless moves. Efron and his crew truly did get their heads in the game!
