In response to the viral image of his swollen face on the internet, the actor has revealed that his stronger jawline was because of his growing “masseter muscles”- which are rectangular-shaped in the face and the jaw, very much responsible for the shape of the jaw.

Zac Efron Does Not Care About What People Think of Him
Here is a lesson from Zac Efron, he does not care about what people say and think about him. But, according to the actor, his attitude about not caring about what people think of him has helped him in his profession.

He doesn’t care, and neither should you!
Did Zac Efron Get a Plastic Surgery?

The actor has clarified that the changes to his jaw are because of the tragic injury that shattered his jaw.
Did the Accident Change Zac Efron’s Lifestyle?
It seems as if the actor has started prioritizing living a meaningful life. He has stopped caring for fame and fortune.
“I’ve been taking time to focus on, you know, self-fulfillment and trying to find my groove.” He said in an interview with Men’s Health.
