Zac Efron has provided fans with a swift health update after a pool incident in Spain that left him hospitalised. The Baywatch star says he’s “happy and healthy” following a groundswell of well-wishes. TMZ reported that the actor, who rose to fame after appearing in High School Musical, was rescued from a private villa in Ibiza on Friday by a couple of staff members who noticed him in distress.

Posting a topless workout pic to his Instagram story, the recovering star date-stamped the image with Aug 4 (Sunday) to express his rapid recovery and return to his famous workout schedule. “Happy and healthy — thanks for the well wishes”, he captioned the post, holding dumbbells while lying on a medicine ball in a bench press position. Sources close to Efron told the outlet he was taken to the hospital for a “minor swimming incident,” though they didn’t elaborate on the details.

Fans relayed their support on the platform with hopes of a speedy recovery. “Please get well soon. You are one of my favourite actors.

Sending positive vibes everything will be ok! 🙏🙏,” one follower said. “Zac, When can you give us some news 😕🤍,” another commented following the incident. The 36-year-old was seen at a prelude event to the Paris Olympics on July 25 — an exclusive event hosted by Pharrell Williams and LVMH boss Bernard Arnault at the Foundation of Louis Vuitton.
