Zac Efron says his mom called and asked if he got plastic surgery after internet speculation

Zac Efron found himself in a Khloé Kardashianesque internet frenzy last year with people convinced he had a “new face.” As cosmetic surgery rumors ran wild, the actor had no idea- until his mom called him to ask.

Efron was just trying to promote an Earth Day special from Bill Nye when the speculation began. Screenshots of his face started going viral, with people making guesses about all the work he has gotten done.

But according to a recent interview with Men’s Health it all goes back to 2013 when he shattered his jaw at his home. The brutal chin hit came after Efron ran through the house with socks on.

He slipped and smacked his chin against the granite corner of his fountain. The impact made him lose consciousness, and when he woke up his chin bone was “falling off his face.” Efron could only drinking liquid foods for 6 weeks and lost 10-12 pounds.
