LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Zac Efron is spending some quality time with his brother! The ‘Extremely Wicked’ star took yet another beach break, this time with his younger brother Dylan Efron.
The actor is bulking up for his upcoming movie and didn’t mind showing his incredible physique he has achieved on social media posts.
What is Zac’s next movie called?
The 35-year-old actor will soon feature in a sport-biopic on the Von Erich family called ‘The Iron Claw.'
This is an A24 film production which will showcase the "rise and fall of the Von Erich family," a dynasty of wrestlers who made a huge impact on the sport from the 1960s to the present day."
Zac will be seen in the shoes of former pro wrestler Kevin Von Erich in the flick. Other stars to feature in the film include Jeremy Allen White as Kerry Von Erich, Harris Dickinson as David Von Erich, and Stanley Simons as Mike Von Erich.
Some of the other cast members include Lily James, Holt McCallany, and Maura Tierney.
How did 'Baywatch' movie leave Zac Efron depressed?
Talking to Men’s Health over his bulking process, ‘The Greatest Showman’ star said that he followed a different method in comparison to his 2017 ‘Baywatch’ flick.
“That 'Baywatch' look, I don’t know if that’s really attainable. There’s just too little water in the skin. Like, it’s fake; it looks CGI’d,” he said.
“And that required Lasix, powerful diuretics, to achieve. So I don’t need to do that. I much prefer to have an extra, you know, two to three percent body fat.”
Zac advised people to know the consequences of what they may have to face while achieving ‘that’ body.
“I started to develop insomnia and I fell into a pretty bad depression for a long time, he shared his experience," he said.
“Something about that experience burned me out. I had a really hard time recentering. Ultimately they chalked it up to taking way too many diuretics for way too long, and it messed something up," he continued.
What advice does Zac Efron have for fitness enthusiasts?
Efron further shared his experience and learnings. “At one point, that was a dream of mine—what it would be like to not have to be in shape all the time,” he said.
“What if I just say, ‘f**k it’ and let myself go? So I tried it, and I was successful. And for all the reasons I thought it would be incredible, I was just miserable. My body would not feel healthy; I just didn’t feel alive. I felt bogged down and slow,” he further added.
