The Hollywood heartthrob Zac Efron was taken to hospital in Spain following a "minor swimming incident" at a villa in Ibiza on Friday night. Although details surrounding the incident remain unclear, Efron is now recovering well after being discharged from hospital on Saturday morning.
A representative for the actor confirmed to TMZ that Efron was admitted to hospital as a precautionary measure. They described the incident as a "minor swimming incident" but did not disclose the cause of the distress in the pool.
Sources with direct knowledge of the incident told TMZ that Efron was found in the swimming pool by two staff members at the villa who pulled him from the water.
Efron's representative initially downplayed the severity of the incident, labelling it "minor." However, further reports suggest that the actor was found unconscious in the pool, adding further intrigue to the situation.
Efron has been enjoying a summer holiday in Europe, with paparazzi capturing him in Ibiza, St. Tropez, Mykonos and Paris over the past month. Earlier this week, he was spotted on stage with renowned DJ Martin Garrix, appearing energetic and healthy.
The actor is currently taking a break from his busy schedule, having just wrapped up filming for the upcoming movie "The Iron Claw" alongside Jeremy Allen White, as well as his role in "Ricky Stanicky" alongside John Cena. He is also set to star in the upcoming "Three Men and a Baby" reboot, which is currently in pre-production.
Local authorities have been contacted for further information, but there have been no updates as of yet.
Efron's representative has assured the public that he is recovering well and is expected to make a full recovery. The incident serves as a reminder of the importance of water safety, especially when engaging in recreational activities.
