Insiders told TMZ that Efron, 36, went out to dinner in Ibiza that night before flying back to the US on Monday.

The swimming scare comes nearly two years after the “Greatest Showman” actor revealed that he shattered his jaw when he slipped and fell while running in his house with socks on.

In his October 2022 cover story for Men’s Health , Efron said he smacked his face on the granite corner of a fountain, lost consciousness and woke up with his chin bone “hanging off his face.”

In response to fans’ reactions to his altered appearance and plastic surgery rumors , he told the magazine that his facial muscles got “really, really big” to compensate for the injury.
