Running through his house in socks, Zac Efron claimed to have slipped and smacked his face on the granite corner of a fountain which left him unconscious. But when he woke up, Efron stated that his chin bone was hanging loose, which required him to undergo immediate surgery, followed by physical therapy to rehabilitate this injury.

Therefore, taking to X, people are claiming that this pool accident could be a splashy cover for another potential nip and tuck.
