Did Zac Efron undergo plastic surgery? Netizens react hilariously after seeing his drastic transformation

The 17 Again actor, who is all set to play the role of professional wrestler and member of the Von Erich wrestling family, Kevin Von Erich, has been clicked rocking a bowl-cut wig, deep tan and a bulkier-than-before body.

As soon as his images from the set were leaked online, they sparked a memefest as people had some hilarious reactions to Zac Efron's new look.

However, some of them questioned whether the actor had any surgical procedures done in order to achieve his now-bulky body.

In an interview with Men's Health, Zac Efron denied having any plastic surgery done as he clarified that he has never gone under the knife. Although the actor now has a more pronounced jawline and swollen lips, Efron clarified that it is all-natural. He also explained the reason behind the swelling, revealing:

"I broke my jaw. This happened because I was running around my house in my socks when I slipped and hit my chin on the floor. The reason my face was swollen was because my cheek muscles temporarily grew because of my injury."
