New Details Emerge About What Actually Happened To Zac Efron Leading To His Hospitalization This Week

Having already made plenty of headlines in 2024 — probably more for the critically blah-ed rom-com A Family Affair than the gross-out comedy Ricky Stanicky — Zac Efron sparked some far more troubling reports over the weekend after being hospitalized due to some kind of an incident while swimming. Details weren’t so prevalent immediately after things went down, but now more follow-ups have emerged, giving fans a better idea of what exactly went down.

The "High School Musical" vet was said to be hanging out with friends at his villa in Ibiza in the early hours of Saturday morning. Feeling the urge to take a dip, Efron apparently dove into the on-property pool in a way where his chest struck the bottom surface, which caused him to ingest a sizable amount of pool water in the moment, according to TMZ.
