    News broke on Saturday that Efron had suffered a "minor swimming incident" in the evening of Friday, Aug. 2 while using a swimming pool in Ibiza, Spain. As reported by TMZ, he went to hospital as a precaution, but was okay by the time the story came out—having been released on Saturday morning.

    According to the publication, Efron has been enjoying a super fun European summer, with sightings in party spots St. Tropez, France, and Mykonos, Greece, as well as Ibiza and Paris.

    It's been a pretty busy few months for the star, with two of his movies coming out in 2024: Ricky Stanicky with John Cena, and Netflix' A Family Affair with Nicole Kidman and Joey King. He also starred in The Iron Claw late last year with Jeremy Allen White. He currently has two movies in pre-production.

    Meanwhile, Efron was saddened last year after his 17 Again costar Matthew Perry tragically died in October at the age of 54. Before he died, Perry had expressed that he'd love Efron to play him in a biopic, with the High School Musical alum saying he was "hugely honored" to hear that.
