Zac Efron ‘Fine’ After Brief Hospitalization for ‘Minor Swimming Incident’

Zac Efron is on the mend after experiencing a health scare while on vacation in Spain.

On Friday, Aug. 2, the Family Affair star, 36, was staying at a villa in Ibiza when he had a “minor swimming incident” while using the pool, according to a representative for the star. Efron was taken to the hospital for precautionary measures and was released the next morning. The rep assured that “He is fine.”

Earlier this week, the High School Musical alum was seen making an appearance onstage with DJ Martin Garrix during his performance at the Ushuaïa Ibiza Hotel and Beach Club in the Spanish city. In a video captured by the “Animals” musician’s fans on TikTok, Efron could be seen walking onstage during one of Garrix’s songs and dancing alongside him, receiving plenty of cheers from the crowd.

The actor has had a busy year thus far. He has appeared in The Iron Claw, Ricky Stanicky, and most recently, his rom-com alongside Nicole Kidman and Joey King, A Family Affair.

In June, Efron and costar Kidman, 57, spoke with PEOPLE about their NSFW comedy — and revealed that before it was called A Family Affair, it had a different, much raunchier name. “It was called Motherf—–,” Efron explained, while Kidman added that it was “Beeped out.”

Efron shared that the eye-catching title made him strongly consider taking on the project. “That made the script stay at the top of the pile,” he said. “It’s like, what on Earth could this be about?” Efron recalled his and Kidman’s enthusiasm to work together again, after they previously costarred in 2013’s The Paperboy.

“I jumped. I think we both kind of did. We jumped at it,” Efron said of their eagerness to work on the project. “It was like, this is perfect. What better way to reconnect? And we get to have fun.”

The release of A Family Affair has been a significant highlight for Efron this year, cementing his status as a versatile actor able to transition from serious roles to light-hearted, comedic performances seamlessly.

Fans of Efron have closely followed his activities throughout the year, with his recent dance onstage with DJ Martin Garrix adding to the excitement surrounding his public appearances. The incident at Ibiza, although alarming, thankfully turned out to be minor, allowing Efron to quickly recover and continue his vacation.

With several successful projects under his belt this year, Zac Efron’s fans eagerly anticipate what’s next for the popular actor. His ability to engage in a range of roles, from intense drama to playful comedies, continues to draw widespread admiration and support from audiences worldwide.
