However, it wasn't just the on-set antics that caught the attention of Zac's social media followers; it was his visage that set tongues wagging. Concerned comments flooded in, with one user bluntly asking: "WTF ! ! ! ! What happened to your face Zac."

Another chimed in with: "Plastic surgery and aging .. oh but smoking probably. They can't fool us."

Some fans were quick to defend the actor though, recalling the facial surgery he had to endure after a severe fall at home years ago.

Zac has been candid about the incident and its aftermath. In an interview with Men's Health for their October 2022 issue, he recounted the harrowing experience of shattering his jaw while slipping in socks inside his house.

Speaking about the accident that left him with a major facial injury, the actor detailed how he lost his footing and hit a fountain's corner. Following this, he collapsed unconscious, revealing that his "chin bone" had nearly detached from his face.

During his recovery, Zac noticed a significant enlargement in his facial muscles, causing him to seek a physical therapist for assistance. He said: "The masseters just grew. They just got really, really big." Masseters are crucial chewing muscles found within the face and jaw.

Despite the swirling rumours surrounding his changed appearance, Zac maintained he wasn't bothered by the speculation.
