Zac Efron’s inner circle has reportedly raised concerns over the actor’s recent behavior, sparking fears that he may be grappling with the challenges of fame once again. Observations backstage suggest a noticeable shift in Efron’s demeanor, with onlookers noting a change from the vibrant sparkle in his eyes to a more distant gaze.
Sources reveal a growing worry that Efron might not be fully prepared to navigate the complexities of the spotlight, especially considering his past struggles. The actor, who sought rehabilitation in 2013 for alcohol and cocaine addiction, openly discussed his battles in a 2014 interview with The Hollywood Reporter.
In that interview, Efron acknowledged the ongoing struggle, stating, “It’s a never-ending battle. I was drinking a lot, way too much.” He attributed his burnout to consecutive film projects, which left a void he found challenging to fill. Seeking help through Alcoholics Anonymous and therapy, Efron highlighted the transformative impact of these interventions, expressing, “I’m much more comfortable in my own skin. Things are so much easier now.”
Recent attention was drawn to Efron’s behavior during an appearance on The Today Show, where he wore sunglasses while promoting his latest project, The Iron Claw. Addressing the speculations, Efron clarified, “I feel weird being in shades! I just have a bit of an eye infection. But I really wanted to be here,” emphasizing his enthusiasm for discussing the film and connecting with the audience.
As concerns mount within Efron’s inner circle, the actor continues to navigate the challenges of fame, striving to maintain balance and overcome past struggles in the public eye.
