Fans Think Zac Efron Looks 'Absolutely Unrecognizable' In New Video

Everybody changes in life. If you compared a photo of me now to a photo of me ten years ago, well, you'd see a pretty drastic difference (good luck finding those pictures, though, I've kept them on lockdown since I found my first grey hair!).

It's always surprising to see a celebrity's face change after we've gotten so used to them looking a certain way!

Part of being a celebrity is everyone getting very familiar with your face.

Unless you're someone who's made not having a recognizable face as part of your brand, like Sia, Daft Punk, or Deadmau5, being a celebrity is all about people knowing who you are and what you look like.

We're all pretty familiar with Zac Efron's face.

Even if you didn't watch High School Musical on repeat like I did, you've probably seen him in at least one of his other super popular roles in films like Neighbors, Baywatch, Extremely Wicked Shockingly Evil And Vile, The Greatest Showman, That Awkward Moment, and loads more.

Zac recently made an appearance in a video for Earth Day by Bill Nye.

You can watch the entire star-studded video right here.

Fans couldn't help but notice that Zac's face was looking a little bit different than the last time that they had seen him, and took to social media to discuss it.

Some fans suggested that he had a 'whole new' face.

"Not zac efron having a whole new face.... wtf happened," tweeted one fan.

"is Zac Efron planning to be casted as Shrek in a live action?" added another.

Other fans came to the star's defense.

Many fans pointed out Zac had just gotten older, and wasn't a teenager anymore. Nobody's face will look exactly the same their entire life!

"Everyone making fun of Zac Efron’s face... you think you are the comic relief in the movie but you are actually the villain," one fan tweeted.

Others suggested that there may have been other reasons for the change in appearance.

"He looks exactly like I did when I got jaw surgery done," one fan wrote on Instagram. "Maybe he's just a little swollen? You guys are soooo judgmental."

Other fans suggested it might be the result of an injury Zac had previously sustained.

There was a lot of love for Zac online.

"Zac Efron had a beautiful face and still has a beautiful face," one fan shared.

"Risky business piling onto someone about their face or body at the best of times, in particular before even knowing why their appearance has changed," tweeted body positivity activist and actress Jameela Jamil.

Overall, the consensus was that Zac was looking a little bit different.

"He looks absolutely unrecognizable," one fan wrote on Instagram.

Of course, that's part of the aging process! Zac obviously looks extremely handsome no matter what, and we would all consider ourselves lucky to look even half as good as he does!

Some of the tweets took on a more humorous tone.
