A jaw-dropping appearance of Zac Efron has set the internet ablaze in 2021.
Or is there something else going on?
Heres the truth about his dramatically changed face.
Alarmed fans quickly pointed out his large jaw and attributed the bizarre change to plastic surgery.
Some couldnt help but notice the resemblance between Efron and Squidward.
Others were in complete denial when they first saw the new Efron.
No way, that picture has to be fake.
Wtf is wrong with his face, @mumihp exclaimed.
Another user (@The_Will_OF_D99) described his face as gross, questioning in shock, Is this legit?

Thats why hes swollen in these areas.

Hes as good as can be.
Two months after the incident, Efron finally shared in-depth details about how he broke his jaw.
Let me start over, because the story starts kind of cool.
I have a fountain in my house.
Thats kind of dope, right?
So I was running through and slipped on water and hit my chin on the fountain in my house.
Its not a big fountain, but its a fountain in my house.
Efron needed a lot of TLC when he left the hospital.
I was drinking foods for six weeks only liquid foods.
It sucked, he complained.
I lost, like, 10-12 pounds.
You had to recently dispel rumors that you had undergone plastic surgery, the ET interviewer confronted Efron.
you actually experienced your jaw being shattered in 2013.
Efron playfully pointed out that his mom told him about the fans rumors.
I never really read the internet, so, I dont really care, he claimed.
All of these injuries happened within the same year and a half.
He explained that he worked with a specialist and went through physical therapy to recover from the injury fully.
The masseters just grew, he said as he shrugged his shoulders.
They just got really, really big.
The actor credits his success at a young age to not worrying about what others think.

However, he admits to undergoing only one surgery on his face following an accident.
I did have surgery, though, Chris says to Brooke.
Zac Efron in A Family Affair makes me so sad for him, @r/netflix posted onReddit.
He just looks so different.
His face alone so obviously looks like it had work done.
Just proves truly the most beautiful are also the most insecure.
Efrons larger face invited further ridicule from dismayed fans.
He looks like a caricature of his old self.
Its sad and absurd looking, @DragonReborn30 remarked.
I wish people were just HONEST, @freezingkiss expressed.
Say, I wanted a more masculine look and I got surgery JUST BE HONEST.
Everyone and their dog in Hollywood has had work done.
Bro he slipped and had the corner of his counter go through the bottom of his mouth.
He legit passed out and was left like that for hours.
His jaw had to be wired shut for months.
He literally had no control on the work that had to be done.
This post just makes you look like an a-hole, @AcadecCoach commented.
But again, he believed that Efron was honest about his jaw accident.
