The “High School Musical” alum has since said he’s “happy and healthy.” Zac Efron says he’s “healthy” after a swimming pool incident in Spain left him hospitalized — and now more details have emerged about what went down.
What happened?
The Family Affair star, 36, was at a villa in Ibiza on Aug. 2 when he had a “minor swimming incident” and was hospitalized overnight for “precautionary measures,” his spokesperson told People. He was released the morning of Aug. 3 with his rep saying, “He is fine.”
TMZ, the first outlet to report the hospitalization, said the actor “was found inside the swimming pool by two people working at the villa who pulled him out of the water.” Efron’s rep declined to provide further details to the outlet on what led to the incident.
Amid continued speculation, the same two outlets reported on Aug. 5 and 6 that the accident stemmed from Efron, who was swimming with friends, diving too deeply into the pool. Unidentified sources said his chest hit the bottom of the pool and he ingested lots of water into his lungs. Security at the villa pulled him out of the pool after he showed signs of distress.
Efron was said to have been dazed momentarily as it played out, so he was taken to the hospital to get checked out. He had X-rays on his chest to make sure there was no water in his lungs and he was medically cleared within hours. He didn’t leave the hospital immediately, however, because he was trying to evade paparazzi outside.A rep for Efron has not yet responded to Yahoo’s request for comment.
What has Efron said?
On Aug. 4, the High School Musical alum used Instagram to thank those expressing “well wishes” amid his hospitalization. He shared a workout photo of himself, shirtless and lifting weights atop an exercise ball, and also wrote that he is “happy and healthy” on his Instagram Stories.
