Zac Efron appeared in a video for Earth Day, and his puffy face <a href=\"https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/us\/articles\/zac-efron-plastic-surgery\/\">set the internet ablaze<\/a>. Fans everywhere wondered, <em>\u201cWhat happened to Zac Efron\u2019s jaw?\u201d<\/em> After much speculation, the 34-year-old actor has finally addressed the rumors surrounding his unexpected physical transformation.<\/p>\n<h2>&#8220;My chin was hanging off his face<\/h2>\n<p>Turns out, Zac Efron\u2019s jaw didn\u2019t change due to plastic surgery or a bad reaction to meds. Nope, it was something much more mundane and a bit embarrassing. In an interview with <em>Men\u2019s Health<\/em>, Zac explained that he broke his jaw running around his house in socks. He slipped and bashed his chin on a corner of a granite fountain. Ouch! He lost consciousness and when he woke up, <em>\u201cmy chin was hanging off his face.\u201d<\/em> Talk about a nightmare scenario.<\/p>\n<h2>Zac Efron explains the reason for his physical transformation and denies plastic surgery rumors<\/h2>\n<p>Once at the hospital, Zac underwent surgery to fix his broken jaw. But healing wasn\u2019t straightforward. The muscles inside his face and jaw didn\u2019t return to their natural shape immediately. His masseter muscle, which is crucial for chewing, became <em>\u201creally, really big.\u201d<\/em> For several months, he worked with a specialist to help his jaw look more like its old self.<\/p>\n<p>Zac discovered the whole \u201cjaw-gate\u201d situation thanks to his mom. She saw the online buzz and worriedly asked if he had <a href=\"https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/us\/articles\/weeknd-face-plastic-surgery\/\">cosmetic surgery<\/a>. Even his own mom was suspicious! Zac, who\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/us\/articles\/zac-efron-caravan-australia\/\">not very active on social media<\/a>, reassured her that no, he hadn\u2019t gone under the knife for aesthetic reasons.<\/p>\n<p>Regarding the social media chatter, Zac had this to say: <em>&#8220;If I gave importance to what others think of me, I wouldn&#8217;t be capable of doing this job.&#8221;<\/em> Fair point, Zac.<\/p>\n<p>Now that Zac Efron has cleared up the mystery behind his jaw, we can all breathe a sigh of relief. His transformation wasn\u2019t planned or glamorous; it was just an unfortunate accident at home. So next time you find yourself slipping around the house in socks, maybe think twice\u2014you wouldn\u2019t want to end up like Zac Efron\u2019s jaw!<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.grazia.fr\/people\/zac-efron-3-667370.html?mrfhud=true#item=6\" target=\"_blank\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>**&#8221;Mon menton pendait de mon visage&#8221; : Zac Efron explique la raison de sa transformation physique et d\u00e9ment les rumeurs de chirurgie esth\u00e9tique**<\/b><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><i>This article first appeared on grazia.fr \u2013 Author: Jordane Guignon<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":42697,"featured_media":92630,"template":"","format":"standard","categories":[23,16],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v18.5 (Yoast SEO v20.4) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Zac Efron Jaw Accident: The Real Story of His Transformation<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Zac Efron explains why his jaw looks different and addresses the surgery rumors.
