Zac Efron sparks debate over changed appearance in new role

Stars of a larger calibre also face such accusations. As early as three years ago, Zac Efron could read comments about himself being called the "king of Botox." The actor admitted that his square jaw resulted from an unfortunate slip and hitting his chin on a fountain. What seemed like a harmless accident turned out to be consequential. Describing its details, Zac revealed that "the chin bone was hanging off his face."

The 36-year-old star is in the spotlight again due to his leading role in a new Netflix comedy. Along with Nicole Kidman, they played a romance in the production "Family Affair," whose initial reviews are not encouraging. This is his second professional encounter with the Australian actress. Since they collaborated on the film "The Paperboy," 12 years have passed. Malicious people claim that in this period, they were more often seen in plastic surgery clinics than on film sets.

Zac Efron posted some behind-the-scenes tidbits from the movie's making on Instagram. Internet users noticed that his jaw has become even wider, which translates to an unnatural smile. They expressed this in comments under the recording.

I'm trying to watch "Family Affair" with Efron, but I can't focus because of what he did to his beautiful face; Why do you look exactly like Kylie Jenner? Only your lips move; What happened to Zac Efron's face? Did he get a ton of fillers? Up close, he looks 50 years old - the commenters pointed out.

The posts also included comparisons of the muscular actor to Thanos from the "Avengers" series, and even... Lord Farquaad from the animated film "Shrek."
