Zac Efron looked cool and comfortable as he spent time with friends in St. Tropez, where he's been relaxing in recent days, this weekend.

On Saturday, the 36-year-old High School Musical alum — whose ex-girlfriend and former co-star Vanessa Hudgens just welcomed her first child — was once again spotted beachside.

He wore a brown baseball cap, white short-sleeved T-shirt, and dark pants.

The longtime actor finished his look with a pair of white slip-on Vans sneakers.

Efron's dark beard was neatly trimmed and he wore round, onyx sunglasses.

Days ago, he enjoyed downtime on a yacht with a group of stunning women.

The star sparked confusion from fans when they noticed his different looking face in his latest movie, A Family Affair. 

Zac's fans raised questions about his appearance after watching his new Netflix film, which premiered on the streamer June 28.

In the romantic comedy, which also stars Nicole Kidman and Joey King, the actor's visage is noticeably wider than in his previous works.

One person on the social media app X wrote, 'Trying to watch #AFamilyAffair with #ZacEfron, but I’m way too distracted by whatever he did to his beautiful face, why would he do that to himself?'

Back in 2021, the Baywatch star unveiled his dramatic new appearance, attributing it to a severe fall that shattered his jaw.

Despite his explanation, fans continue to question the change in his features whenever he reemerges in the spotlight.

Some online supporters defend Zac, pointing to his surgery following the serious fall he survived years ago.

'A tweet about Zac Efron’s face goes viral literally every month & every single time someone has to explain what happened to his jaw & how he had to get reconstructive surgery & what not, this sh** is tiring,' one person said. 

In 2022, Zac appeared on the cover of Men's Health, and explained what happened to his face, after rumors of plastic surgery circulated one year earlier.

In the interview, he revealed that he had an accident at home that altered his appearance.

The star recalled that he slipped on a pair of socks while running, which resulted in him smashing his chin on a granite fountain.

He said that when he was injured, the masseter muscles on the inside of his face and jaw then 'compensated' for the abrasion, causing them to grow in size.
