Fans freak out over Zac Efron’s ‘extreme new face’ in Netflix film: ‘Jarring and distracting’
Zac Efron’s appearance is being questioned again.
Fans took to social media to react to the actor’s face transformation after tuning in to his new Netflix movie, “A Family Affair,” co-starring Nicole Kidman and Joey King.
“What happened to Zac Efron? He looks like an entirely different person,” one fan tweeted on X (formerly Twitter) on Sunday alongside a clip of Efron, 36, in the film.
“I just saw Zac Efron’s extreme new face and felt compelled to study it in more detail,” another fan said.
A different person wrote, “Dude… you were gorgeous before and now your face looks weird.”
“I am trying to watch ‘A Family Affair’ and I’m finding it so hard. What on earth did Zac Efron do to his face? I have tried but I can never get used to looking at it,” someone else tweeted.
Kidman, 57, was also accused of looking different in the film.
“Watching #AFamilyAffair on Netflix and can’t stop staring at Nicole Kidman and Zac Efron’s horrendous plastic surgery. Neither one of them look like themselves,” one tweet read.
Another person said, “What in tf happened to Nicole Kidman and Zac Efron faces? They look like wax figures.”
“Cute movie, but Nicole’s hair and Zac’s face are both equally jarring and distracting,” a different fan said.
Efron addressed rumors he had plastic surgery in a September 2022 interview with Men’s Health.
He revealed that he broke his jaw around 2018, causing his muscles in his face and jaw to enlarge.
“The masseters just grew,” Efron said. “They just got really, really big.”
The “High School Musical” star also revealed that his mom, Starla Baskett, let him know about the plastic surgery speculation.
“If I valued what other people thought of me to the extent that they may think I do, I definitely wouldn’t be able to do this work,” he said in the interview.
Efron revealed to “Entertainment Tonight” that the accident almost killed him.
“It was funny. It sucks. I almost died, but we’re good,” he said in November 2022.
Despite Efron’s claims, celebrity facial plastic surgeon Dr. Sam Rizk told The Post last year he thinks the “Iron Claw” actor got other work done.
“He probably took the opportunity, in addition to correcting it [his jaw], to do something better,” he said. “He might have had jaw advancements where they pull the chin a little bit more forward because his chin looks a little bit more prominent. Or a chin implant or mandibular angle implants [in the lower jaw] or all of the above.”
Rizk also speculated that Efron “had some type of brow lift or he had Botox” and “most likely” got filler injected into his cheeks.
“A Family Affair” is streaming now on Netflix.
