In 2013, Zac Efron experienced a significant injury that required his jaw to be wired shut.
Zac Efron's supporters are aware that the actor's appearance has changed significantly since his time in High School Musical, but it is important to note that he has not undergone any plastic surgery.
There has been a lot of speculation in recent years about Efron's jawline, with numerous people wondering whether he has had cosmetic surgery or used fillers to alter his looks.
In light of his latest film, A Family Affair, being released on Netflix, there has been a resurgence of inquiries and discussions.
Within the movie, Efron portrays the role of the arrogant movie star Chris Cole, who eventually enters into a romantic relationship with the mother of his intern, portrayed by Nicole Kidman.
Following its debut, a number of spectators have asserted that they were ‘distracted' by Efron's altered appearance and have raised inquiries regarding the reason behind the change.
The 36-year-old actor has always had a larger and more defined jawline.
More than ten years ago, Efron experienced a severe accident at his house which resulted in a broken jaw.
In 2013, he was running around his house wearing only socks when he slipped and fell, hitting his face on a granite fountain.

Efron's jaw bone was said to be hanging off his face after the fall, so he had to get it wired shut.
Despite the accident being widely known, the actor continues to deal with inquiries regarding rumors about plastic surgery.
Prior to the premiere of his AppleTV film The Greatest Beer Run Ever in 2022, Efron had an interview with Entertainment Tonight.
The reporter asked him about the plastic surgery rumors: “What are your thoughts on the online speculation?”
Efron responded that he doesn't usually read the internet. He then mentioned that his 2013 accident was funny, terrible, and almost killed him.
Efron's jaw appears wider now because he mentioned that his facial muscles had to work extra hard to make up for his injury.
In 2022, he was still receiving physical therapy to attempt to fix this issue.
During the filming of the second season of Down to Earth with Zac Efron in Australia, he mentioned to Men's Health that he had to take a break from therapy. He noticed that his masseters had grown significantly and he is now undergoing physical therapy to address this issue.
The masseter muscles are two muscles in the jaw that help with chewing. They can be found on both sides of your face.
Despite Efron's noticeable change in appearance, I believe we can all concur that the actor is still quite attractive.
