Zac Efron’s participation at the Venice Film Festival, which came after a recent swimming pool mishap, sparked a lot of buzz online.
Fans were perplexed as to why the actor’s looks had changed so dramatically.
The 36-year-old former adolescent star radiated confidence and flair as he stepped out for Italy’s prestigious amfAR Gala Venezia this weekend. Despite his fashion-forward costume, people were more interested on the actor’s transformed appearance rather than his outfit…
Photos from the dinner rapidly surfaced online, showing Efron laughing and socializing with Hollywood celebrities such Richard Gere, Mohammed Al Turki, and Swizz Beatz.
He even posed for a lovely shot with prominent Italian influencer Jessica Matarrelli, who later published it on social media, saying: “Zac Efron, ladies and gentlemen ✨.”

Matarrelli also shared a quick video of her contact with Efron at the event. In the video, she hilariously compared her high school experience to her time at the gala, captioning the footage: “Boys at school never look at me,” followed by: “But Zac Efron did,” as the two were shown speaking.
Despite the fun moments, people took to social media to express their concern about Efron’s shifting appearance.
“What’s wrong with his face? 😮 He used to be handsome,” one Instagram user commented.
Others echoed similar sentiments: “Not the kid we know and love,” and “With a whole new face once again.”
Another observer remarked: “He totally ruined his image,” while someone else questioned: “What did this child do to his face?”
Many speculated that Efron may have undergone cosmetic procedures. “You were perfect the way you were!!! Stop the surgeries!” one fan exclaimed, while another simply stated: “So much surgery.”
Others speculated on the star’s personal troubles, with one user commenting: “The guy is clearly going through something 🤷♂️.”
Some fans backed him, with one admirer writing: “Forever crush ❤️.”
The remarks about Efron “going through something” appeared to coincide with news of his recent mishap in Ibiza. Efron was hospitalized last month following a swimming pool mishap while on vacation in Spain.
According to sources, the actor plunged into the pool and hit the floor with his chest, drinking water in the process. Security at his villa swiftly escorted him out, and he was brought to the hospital as precaution. Despite being slightly stunned, Efron recovered fast, resumed his workouts the next day and even enjoyed a peaceful meal that weekend. By Monday, he was back in the United States.
Following his trip to Ibiza, Efron was observed at the Miami airport with his face hidden by a black cloth and sunglasses, fueling curiosity about his look. His visit at the Venice Film Festival was one of his first public appearances following the pool accident.
This is not the first time Efron’s appearance has sparked speculation. Fans had already expressed worries after seeing his 2024 Netflix love movie A Family Affair. In the film, the actor’s jaw appeared larger, causing many to suspect that his facial features had been altered.
Efron’s changing appearance continues to be a topic of discussion among fans and media. What are your thoughts?
