  • Zac Efron ‘almost died’ after shattering jaw, chin before surgery transformation

    By IANS

    LOS ANGELES: Actor Zac Efron has revealed that he ‘almost died’ after shattering his jaw and smashing his chin before undergoing surgery to fix his facial structure.

    ‘The High School Musical’ star turned heads when he made his first red carpet appearance in three years on Tuesday as he stepped out for the premiere of his latest movie, ‘The Greatest Beer Run Ever’, reports mirror.co.uk.

    The actor all smiled at the 2022 Toronto International Film Festival – a week after responding to rumours he had undergone plastic surgery on his face.

    Since making his red carpet return, rumours have been rife about Efron’s surgery transformation as some of the actor’s fans have called him ‘unrecognisable’ after he unveiled his new face.

    Following the ongoing speculation about the work that Efron has had done on his appearance, the Hollywood hunk has attempted to set the record straight by revealing the truth behind his surgery rumours, explaining that he went under the knife to fix his facial structure after he ‘almost died’ when he shattered his jaw and smashed his chin in.

    The actor lifted the lid on the cosmetic procedure rumours in an interview with Entertainment Tonight when he revealed that he had no idea people were speculating about his appearance until his mother informed him of the matter.

    “My mom told me. I never really read the internet, so, I don’t really care,” Efron explained.

    “It was funny. It sucks. I almost died, but we’re good,” he added.

    He found himself in agony when he slipped on a pair of socks while running at his home causing him to smash his chin into a granite fountain. He lost consciousness and woke up with “his chin bone hanging off his face.”

    When Efron suffered severe injuries, the masseter muscles on the inside of his face and jaw then ‘compensated’ for his injury causing them to grow in size. This then resulted in his unrecognisable transformation, and why he looked so different at the time.

    “The masseters just grew. They just got really, really big,” Efron said.

    Fans had first suspected that he had had work done after his jaw line appeared different in a cameo appearance in Bill Nye’s ‘Earth Day! The Musical’ video.

  • Zac Efron to star in ‘Guardians of the Galaxy’ third installment? James Gunn clears air

    By ANI
    WASHINGTON: Actor-singer Zac Efron has been making headlines after it was reported that the star is in talks to join the upcoming film ‘Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3’. However, it seems like the rumour mills have got it all wrong.

    ‘The Guardians of the Galaxy’ director James Gunn cleared the air, putting an end to all such reports doing the rounds. On Wednesday, Gunn took to Twitter to shoot down several casting rumours for the third installment of the franchise, including one about the addition of Efron.

    He tweeted, “There is no casting underway for Vol. 3. And in what world would I only cast a “Caucasian” if the character has gold skin? And if I wanted a Zac Efron type wouldn’t I go to Zac Efron? Where do you get this nonsense?”

    Adam Warlock has been one of the highly-anticipated characters in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). His character was teased in the mid-credits scenes in ‘Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2.’ While fans expected him to make his big-screen debut in the ‘Avengers’ franchise, reports later claimed that he would possibly join in the next phase of the MCU.

    Gunn quickly cleared up quite a few falsehoods about the upcoming movie. And while this puts many actors of colours in the running, actor Seth Rogen wasn’t too excited about the news.

    The actor joked under the tweet, “S–t I was gonna submit myself for the Zac Efron type.” Josh Gad was also saddened by the announcement, adding, “This was not the way I wanted to find out I’m out of the running for Adam Warlock.”

    As per E! News, Gunn was rehired by Disney to direct the project in March 2019 after he was let go the previous year when offensive and indefensible tweets from his past resurfaced online.

    At that time, ‘The Suicide Squad’ director took to social media to share his thoughts on being given a second chance by the company.

    “I am tremendously grateful to every person out there who has supported me over the past few months. I am always learning and will continue to work at being the best human being I can be,” he had tweeted.

    The statement continued, “I deeply appreciate Disney’s decision and I am excited to continue making films that investigate the ties of love that bind us all. I have been, and continue to be incredibly humbled by your love and support. From the bottom of my heart, thank you. Love to you all.”
