Efron has also previously spoken out about his physical health, revealing in 2022 that changes to the shape of his jaw, which went viral on social media at the time, were actually the result of an injury. In an interview with Men's HealthHe explained that the change in his face was due to an accident.
According to Efron, he broke his jaw when he slipped while running around his house in his socks. The fall, which ended with his chin smashed against the granite corner of a fountain, left him unconscious. He told the outlet that when he woke up, his “chin was hanging off his face.”
