Madrid
American actor Zac Efron has been admitted to hospital in Ibiza after suffering an accident in the pool where he was swimming during his holiday in Spain. According to the celebrity media outlet TMZ, the actor suffered a “minor swimming incident” in the pool at his villa, for which he required medical attention.
As the website explains, two workers at the complex found the actor, known for the High School Musical trilogy, in the pool on Friday night and had to pull him out. The causes of the accident in the pool are still unknown.
However, the actor’s representative told TMZ that he was admitted to hospital as a “precautionary measure” and that he was discharged on Saturday morning and is now recovering well.
He broke his jaw in 2013
This is not Efron’s first high-profile accident. In 2013, when he was 25, he broke his jaw. The actor was jogging in his home when he slipped and fell to the ground, hitting his chin on a granite fountain. After the hard blow, Efron was knocked unconscious and when he woke up, his jaw bone was hanging out.
The actor had to undergo emergency surgery and then had to undergo facial reconstruction, since many of the muscles were damaged. This fact generated controversy, as social networks began to criticize him, saying that he had undergone cosmetic touch-ups and that they had not turned out well. The actor himself had to deny and explain what had really happened.
After a year of filming, Efron is currently on holiday in Europe and was recently seen in Paris, Saint-Tropez and Mykonos. In fact, in Ibiza, he went to the Ushuaïa nightclub, where he was seen on stage during a performance by DJ Martin Garrix. His most recent works have been The Iron Claw, Ricky Stanicky and A Family Affair.
His long career
Efron began his acting career at just 11 years old, but it was in 2006, when the actor was 19, that he rose to fame for High School Musical. The three Disney Channel movies were a phenomenon and catapulted him to fame. Since then, he has starred in numerous films such as Hairspray, 17 Again, Neighbors or The Greatest Showman.
Among his most notable honors, Efron received the 2009 MTV Movie Award for Best Male Performance.
