Teen Idol Zac Efron Channels His ‘High School Musical’ Character While on Set of His Upcoming Project – Photos
While shooting scenes for a new project in Los Angeles, Zac Efron was photographed, and the images quickly surfaced on social media. Similar to when he faced criticism for changing his looks in Ibiza, some users disapproved of his appearance.
During a recent sighting, Zac Efron was seen sporting a new haircut. Netizens who saw his picture noticed that he seemed to be embracing the same look he had while starring in “High School Musical” as a teenager.

On November 6, 2024, a publication shared side-by-side Instagram images of Efron filming in Los Angeles. At the time, he was outside an electronics store wearing a gray hoodie, a white T-shirt, and matching sweatpants.

The publication suggested his haircut made him look like an adult version of his 2006 “High School Musical” character, Troy Bolton. His hair was styled to the side, similar to the look Bolton had as a teenage basketball player.
Mocking the comparison, one Instagram user commented, “Yea, Troy Bolton wit Plastic Surgery. [sic]” Another commenter who wasn’t pleased with the actor’s look, remarked, “I don’t like it!!!! It just makes you really see how old he is.”
But, someone else speculated that it wasn’t Efron’s real hair, saying, “That is a bad wig not going to lie,” while another person thought, “He ruined his face.” An X user disapproved of Efron’s look, stating, “His facelift is awful.”
Confused by the new look, one netizen asked, “why does zac efron have troy bolton hair rn. what is going on. [sic]” Seeing more pictures of his transformation, another social media user, who loved the look, commented, “Honestly loving seeing him with that hair again!”
