American actor Zac Efron began his career at a very young age. He gained fame after acting in the High School Musical trilogy in the 2000s. Efron appeared in multiple movies afterward. He shared screen space with Dwayne Johnson, aka the Rock in the 2017 Movie ‘Baywatch’. In that film, the actor’s shockingly sculpted physique made his fans gasp in awe. Despite being cast against The Rock, Efron was the center of attraction for his super-jacked body.

According to the 35-year-old, to gain such a physique, apart from going through an intense workout regime, one had to follow a strict diet too. Efron revealed his diet during the high-gross movie.

However, while talking about his role in Baywatch, in a throwback interview with Men’s Health, he shared how difficult it was to build muscles to justify his character in the movie. The actor had to undergo a strict diet plan to ensure that he built the physique that was necessary.

According to Efron, “For most roles, you change something but I think probably the one role that I had to change the most for was probably Baywatch.” he further added to his statement, “That movie, I adopted a really, really specific eating regimen.” According to Efron, this was really hard as his eating habits were absolutely different from the diet he needed to adopt.
