Zac's face was noticeably swollen and had a more distinctive lip.
While the movie star petitioned the need for action, fans jumped on social media and started speculating that the Neighbors star had work done on his face due to his pronounced jaw.
After watching the Earth Day video, one viewer on Twitter wrote: "There is NO WAY that’s Zac Efron! WHAT!?!"
Another shocked fan wrote: "There’s no way this is really Zac Efron…"
FRIEND'S DEFENSE
During his The Kyle and Jackie O Show segment, Kyle Sandilands, 49, denied the rumors of his famous friend having any work done.
Kyle did not give any reason as to why the actor had such a different look.
Due to their friendship, the radio host stated: "I would know if he'd had any plastic surgery."
Because his friend is naturally good-looking, Kyle did not think Zac needed facial reconstruction.
Kyle stated: "It's like getting a Picasso and having a kid finger paint all over it. Why bother?"
'THE REAL DEAL'
At the time, Zac had broken up from his girlfriend Vanessa Valladares, 25, just as the former couple had planned on buying a home together in Australia.
A source told The Sun: "Zac and Vanessa looked like the real deal. They were besotted with each other.
"So once he decided to stay in Australia long term, he suggested they buy their first home."
