Zac Efron Hospitalized Following Swimming Incident in Ibiza

Zac Efron has been hospitalized in Ibiza following a swimming incident.

A representative for the 36-year-old actor informed TMZ on Saturday that Efron experienced a “minor swimming incident” at a villa on the island. The incident occurred on August 2, and he was taken to the hospital as a precautionary measure.

Efron’s representative confirmed to TMZ that he was released from the hospital on Saturday and is doing fine. A source revealed to TMZ that two people working at the villa found Efron in the swimming pool and pulled him out.

The Independent has reached out to Efron’s representatives for additional comments.

The High School Musical alum has been touring Europe this summer. During Martin Garrix’s concert in Ibiza on August 1, fans shared on X that the DJ brought his close friend, Efron, onto the stage. On July 25, Efron attended the “Prelude To The Olympics” event at the Foundation Louis Vuitton in Paris, France.

Efron has yet to publicly address the swimming incident or his Ibiza trip on social media. His latest Instagram post was on July 31, where he offered a sweet shoutout to Simone Biles at the Paris 2024 Olympics, stating, “So incredibly proud of you.”

In June, Efron posted three videos on Instagram to promote his new movie, A Family Affair, in which he stars alongside Nicole Kidman and Joey King.

Efron has previously opened up about his physical health, disclosing in 2022 that changes to his jaw’s shape, which went viral on social media, were the result of an injury. In an interview with Men’s Health, he explained that he had shattered his jaw after slipping while running through his house in socks. The fall caused him to smash his chin against the granite corner of a fountain, knocking him unconscious. When he woke up, his “chin bone was hanging off his face.”

Due to the injury, the muscles in his jaw and face had to work harder to compensate. He has been undergoing physical therapy and working with a specialist. However, the Iron Claw star noted that when he took a break from physical therapy, his masseter muscles, which are used for chewing, “just grew” and “got really, really big.”
