Zac Efron’s new movie The Iron Claw’s trailer has brought fans’ attention back to his jaw. His changed jaw has given rise to plastic surgery speculation online but the star has already explained his new look.
Zac Efron stars in the new Hollywood film The Iron Claw which chronicles the rise of the Von Erich brothers. The actor portrays one of the brothers and former wrestler Kevin Von Erich. The movie’s trailer was released recently and it saw the actor’s new look as he transformed into the wrestler’s character. However, it also brought all the attention back to Zac Efron’s jaw; a topic his fans have been discussing on and off for years now.
Zac Efron’s jaw explained
The actor, 35, has not shied away from talking about his jaw and changed look. Fans began talking about how his jaw looked different in 2021. His transformed appearance sparked plastic surgery speculation. However, he later told fans what had happened with his jaw in his 2022 Men’s Health cover story.
He explained in the interview that it wasn’t plastic surgery but a grisly injury that had caused his jaw to look different. The accident happened in November 2023. He revealed that he was running around his house with socks on and he slipped. The High School Musical star accidentally smacked his face on the granite corner of a fountain and became unconscious. He says that, when he woke up, his chin bone was hanging off his face.
To overcome his injury and altered appearance, Zac started regular physical therapy. However, his attempts at rehabilitating his jaw came to an end when he traveled to Australia in 2021 to tape season 2 of his Netflix series Down to Earth. The actor says that the muscles in the face work together “like a symphony.” Hence his masseter muscles, which help with chewing, started overcompensating for the other injured parts. “The masseters just grew,” he said. “They just got really, really big.”
However, the actor also got candid about the Twitter firestorm around his jaw. He said that the plastic surgery speculation doesn’t bother him at all.
“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,” the actor said.
Zac takes on the role of Kevin Von Erich in The Iron Claw
The Iron Claw movie‘s trailer dropped on Wednesday, October 11. The film stars Zac, Jeremy Allen White, and Maxwell Jacob Friedman as the three Von Erich brothers.
The actor looks all bulked up as he sports short cut-up hair that was a classic look of the siblings. His jaw, on the other hand, looks less chiseled than usual. Portraying the iconic Kevin Von Erich, the star dons several half-sleeve shirts in the trailer as he is seen romancing Lily James’ Pam Adkisson.
Zac was first spotted in character back in 2022. He was seen on the new movie’s set in October last year, displaying his muscular physique and a brand new hairdo as he wore a towel around his waist.
His co-star Jeremy told Esquire later that both he and Zac bulked up for their roles by “never stopping” eating.
