Zac Efron is back and making waves (the good kind this time) after what can only be described as a truly unfortunate encounter with the deadly… pool floor. Yes, you read that right. Our 36-year-old Iron Claw action man was recently sidelined by the shallow end of a villa swimming pool in Ibiza. Who knew the pool was an Olympic-grade wrestler in disguise?
Fast forward to September 1st, and our favorite High School Musical alum resurfaced like a stylish submarine at the amfAR Gala during the 2024 Venice Film Festival. Held at the oh-so-glamorous Hangar Nicelli (where I assume jet planes AND movie stars casually hang out), Zac rolled up in an all-black ensemble: sleek suit, T-shirt, and sunglasses—because if you’ve survived the wrath of a pool, you deserve to wear sunglasses at night. Inside. No questions asked.
This dazzling appearance marks Zac’s grand re-entry into the world of public humans after last month’s… let’s call it “incident”. Reports say he heroically collided with the pool’s floor, possibly while attempting a dive that would make Aquaman blush, and ingested enough water to qualify as a fish. Dazed and confused (maybe wondering if he had, in fact, hit Atlantis instead), Zac was whisked off to the hospital, where he was likely congratulated for surviving nature’s trickiest foe: shallow swimming pools.
Fear not, Efron enthusiasts! Zac is now fully recovered, as his attendance at the gala proves. And while we’re sure his future holds more dramatic roles, here’s hoping his next big action sequence avoids any encounters with treacherous tiles.
We’re just relieved he’s back on solid ground.
