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. The actor had committed to masseter exercise to help him recover from his tragic accident, which changed the looks of his jawline.
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 remarked in an interview, “If I valued what other people thought of me to the extent that they may think I do, I definitely wouldn’t have been able to do this work.”
He doesn’t care, and neither should you!
Did Zac Efron Get a Plastic Surgery?
Rumors about the High School Musical star getting plastic surgery have been circulating the internet, and fans have wondered whether it is true.

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.
The actor has also admitted that his work in “Baywatch” wore him out. He developed insomnia, and the experience burned him out. He had a difficult time recentering after it.
