Zac Efron completely transformed in new film: “Intermittent fasting helped me” | Celebrities

Zac Efron became world famous after his role as Troy Bolton in ‘High School Musical’, but now he is taking on a completely different role. In ‘The Iron Claw’ he takes on the role of a wrestler. The film tells the story of professional wrestler Fritz von Erich, also known as Jack Adkisson, who rose to fame in the 1960s. Zac plays the role of his brother. The American actor has worked hard to get into top shape and build up a lot of muscle mass. “I was vegan at first, but my body didn’t respond well to those vegetables. So I switched to intermittent fasting, which has really helped me build muscle.”

Yet his fans not only pay attention to his long locks and new muscles, but the actor’s face in particular evokes many reactions. “What happened to that?” people wondered on X, the former Twitter. But that question will soon be answered. “He had jaw surgery a few years ago and his face is swollen because of it,” replies a user on the platform. And that is also the story that the actor has previously confirmed. “I had an accident and my jaw was broken. The injury made my face swell and that makes it look so different,” he explained.
