So AIBU in thinking Zac Efron would have made a better Ken in the Barbie movie (no offence to Gosling, I bloody love Gosling)

But wtf Zac! What have you done to your absolutely beautiful, didn't-need-changing face!?

Sat watching Family Affair on Netflix and he's barely recognisable! Only his mouth moves. Everything else is frozen/botoxed. Even his lips look like they've had fillers... he's 36!!!

I accept Nicole Kidman's work at almost 60 fair enough. But why has Zac felt the need to freeze his already beautiful face?! 😫
It's putting me off watching the film

I think he still looks recognisable, but agree older than his actual 36 years!

Nicole Kidman has kept her shape well, but her face and hair colour 😯

Otoh, that film A Family Affair was just awful. Watched it with dd2 (12) and we were so bored, but just had to get to the end to see what would happen. Chris seemed to have a personality transplant after he met Brooke. Not to mention the 21 tear age gap ffs! Really surprised its rated so highly on Netflix.

Blimey watching it now. Not sure how a jaw injury explains it all. Can't work out if NK looks amazing or terrible. Her hair is bright yellow which is throwing me.

Does make me think I should use fillers and Botox to keep up.

There’s no need to be cruel @WOMANDOWNN

He looks different because he's older and he's had jaw surgery. Leave the poor bugger alone.

And here's a Zac Efron comparison - before and after. Soooo pretty before. He is unrecognisable now. Also, as other posters have said, all the fillers have made him look older than he is. Hard to believe he is only 36. He looks like he's in his mid 40s IMO.

It's like the girls/young women in Love Island. Most have had fillers and botox, which traditionally is meant to make you look younger yes? Yet every one of them who have had it looks a clear decade older. Some have aged even more than that with all the botox and fillers!

He isn't 'unrecognisable' ffs he is clearly the same person in both pics, just one he's had filler.

TheaBrandt · 09/07/2024 20:48

They certainly made for an extraordinary looking couple. Will everyone look like they in 60 years time?! Sort of stiff slightly puffy and doll like. Prefer wrinkles.

You didn’t have to click on it if it was so dreadful and tastelesss. Just scroll on by if it’s too tasteless and dreadful for you.

SurelySmartie · 08/07/2024 08:16

Not a chance. Accident or not he’s clearly had jaw and chin augmentation.

I always feel there's something vulnerable about Zac Efron. He was a child star and as we know child stars often encounter some dark shit in Hollywood. His drink and drug addictions (think he's now sober) and creating this whole new face might be a reaction to that.

I think that too. He's had a rough life.

Alalalalalongalalalalalonglonglilong · 08/07/2024 00:12

Just googled him, he looks totally different from The Greatest Showman, that's what I know him from. I thought from one photo he is starting to look a bit like David Hasselhof then noted he was in a Baywatch movie 🤔

I said that to dh. The hoff 2!

He has lip fillers which are either badly done or just don’t suit him, he had small lips beforehand but they suited his face perfectly, now they’re all wide and weird looking.

Bbq1 · 08/07/2024 00:51

Sadly he has gone down the Liam Payne route. Just WHY do both male and female celebrities think surgery, botox etc improves their looks? It's sad because it almost never does and actually does exactly the opposite of whatever it is that they are actually trying to achieve.

Yeah OP, don’t feel bad, crack on making comments and judgments about a strangers physical appearance because you don’t like how they look now…

Oh please, it’s like when Britney went in for knee surgery and came out with new boobs as well. He has had so much work done he’s almost unrecognisable. And going on about how his jaw muscles grew because he chews really hard. Don’t be so naive. 😂

MooseBeTimeForSnow · 08/07/2024 00:40

I was quite happy watching him in his Down to Earth series. The beard was hiding a lot.

Moro93 · 08/07/2024 00:35

The story of having to get his jaw rebuilt is trying to cover. It did happen, but years ago. Way before he started to look so different. I also remember a while ago he had a lot of swelling in some video call or something and said it was because of a ‘dentist visit’ or something along those lines.

He has 100% had work done. It’s very obvious and he looks exactly like others who’ve had plastic surgery and botox. I think he’s tried to get rid of the feminine, pretty look he had and tried to make himself look more butch and chiseled but it’s backfired massively.

Teenage me absolutely loved him, now I can’t look at him, he gives me the ick. I think it’s also partly how arrogant he’s become.

Before anyone starts about being judgemental of how someone looks etc, it’s different if they’ve deliberately spent thousands to make themselves look worse on purpose!

RichardsGear · 08/07/2024 00:25

He looks almost CGI now (just watched Ricky Stanicky tonight - quite funny actually!).

DodoTired · 08/07/2024 00:24

I know 🥲 he was so gorgeous but now he looks a bit strange

MrsMorrisey · 08/07/2024 00:21

I feel bad for him as he's received a lot of crap online however I do think he looks like a young David Hasselhoff now.

Femme2804 · 08/07/2024 00:20

Nah i domt believe his changed just because of his jaw. He is broke his jaw bit he definitely do more. It a plastic surgery fail. He clearly put filler on the lips too. I was so in love with him when i was teenager. I really dont understand why he change his perfect face. And it’s definitely not just because of the jaw. He is too plasticky now

ChaoticCrumble · 08/07/2024 00:17

He had the accident in 2013 but had a normal jawline until 2020. Come on, Zac...

HungryLittleCrocodile · 08/07/2024 00:15

I agree OP. Apparently Zac Efron had an accident where he hurt/fractured his jaw some years ago, but how he looks is nothing to do with that. He is 100% frozen and botoxed, and it has ruined his lovely pretty boy face. He looks so strange now.Shock

Nicole Kidman looks odd too. Waaaay too much fillers and botox. (And at least one face lift.)

I can't take them seriously as actors now, because the way they have filled their face with fillers ruins it for me.

Kathy Bates who is in the film - Family Affair - looks so much better than Nicole Kidman IMO. Just so normal. I know Kathy is 20 years older than Nicole. But at 57 Kathy looked much better than Nicole does now at the same age.

THIS was Kathy Bates at 57! (Pic 1.) So pretty and just so normal looking. Nicole Kidman at 57 (pics 2 and 3,) looks alien-esque now, with the facelift, and all the fillers and botox. Why do these actresses do this to themselves? Confused Nicole was soooo pretty before!

But Zac Efron wtf!?
