Hold onto your snorkels because Zac Efron’s weekend poolside escapade just took a splashier turn! The 36-year-old heartthrob took a dive into an Ibiza villa pool that was meant to be the ultimate relaxation experience. Instead, it turned into a comedy of errors that sent him straight to the hospital.
Picture this: Zac, in his suave vacation mode, decides to make a grand entrance into the pool. Unfortunately, his dramatic dive turned into an impromptu belly flop after he misjudged the pool depth. Cue the sound of splashing and the subtle *gurgling* as he gulped down a gallon of pool water with a side of surprise.
Sources from TMZ reveal that Zac’s dive had him hitting the bottom of the pool like a cannonball gone rogue. He apparently took the phrase “water in the lungs” a bit too literally. On-site security rushed to his aid faster than you can say “Baywatch,” pulling him from the watery mess.
The scene was a bit like a high-stakes game of “Will he or won’t he pass out from coughing up pool water?”—but Zac, ever the trooper, was only momentarily dazed. Still, being the drama king he is, he decided to go to the hospital to ensure he wasn’t brewing up a storm of pool water in his lungs.
After a chest X-ray confirmed he wasn’t growing a new aquatic appendage, Zac made a speedy recovery and stayed at the hospital a bit longer—probably just to dodge the paparazzi and avoid awkward poolside selfies.
By the next day, Zac was back in action, letting fans know he was A-OK and ready to make a splash again (hopefully with less drama next time).
