According to Efron's trainer, Patrick Murphy, the actor reached 5% body fat after just 12 weeks of training. How'd you like to do something similar? Read on and you can.
Especially considering we only had three months to train. Zac had the drive, motivation, and grit. He was so ready for everything. He went through a lot of two-a-days.
“There's just too little water in the skin. Like, it's fake; it looks CGI'd. And that required Lasix, powerful diuretics, to achieve.” Efron said he was taking diuretics, overtraining and eating the same three meals every day while also not getting enough sleep due to filming and his intense training regimen.
From the start, Murphy says Efron was “100 per cent committed” to achieving the look of an uber-ripped lifeguard. Before they even set foot in a gym together Efron was already around 10 per cent body fat. Throughout the training window he reduced this by half, while adding 3.6kg of lean muscle.
San Luis Obispo, California, U.S. Efron had starring roles in the films New Year's Eve (2011), The Lucky One (2012), The Paperboy (2012), Neighbors (2014), Dirty Grandpa (2016), Baywatch (2017), and The Greatest Showman (2017).
It's not real." For his role starring alongside Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson in 2017's Baywatch, Zac Efron embraced a life of hitting gruelling workouts twice daily and going "virtually carb-free" to create a physique that, even four years later, continues to redefine the archetypal Hollywood transformation.
Complete with sandy colored locks, chiseled bod, and a blindingly white smile, stunt man JJ Dashnaw is a dead ringer for the former High School Musical star. This is probably why he was cast as the heartthrob's stunt double in Efron's new beach comedy Baywatch.
For neighbors Zac Efron stands in a 5'9″ and weighs about 155-160 pounds. But for Baywatch, I would estimate that Zac Efron is about 5-10 pounds heavier putting him at 165-170 pounds.
I'd estimate him to be around 162-164 lbs at about 5'9, MAX. As well, I'd estimate his chest to be around 41” in circumference, his arms to be about 15” and his waist to be a very taut 29-30”. If you watch the movie, you can tell that Efron, isn't really that big when he's wearing a shirt or jacket.
Working with Murphy, Efron himself only went the water and whey protein powder route. However, Murphy made sure that the whey they used was of the very highest quality—even opting for unflavored types in order to make sure it was as pure as possible.
Intermittent Fasting: Zac shared that after his illness, he chose to start intermittent fasting which included having 2 healthy meals per day. His meals contained a rich lean protein intake and vegetables and less carbs.
Thankfully, Zac is now in recovery and works hard to stay clean and sober. He said that he had to make changes to his life to stay that way, adding, “What I found is structure.
Newman tells PEOPLE he essentially started off as a "stuntman" on Baywatch, appearing for seven years before finally securing a spot in the opening credits. As the only real-life lifeguard in the cast — not to mention a working firefighter — he says he was "too useful" to get rid of.
“Everyone assumed Baywatch had stunt people do the rescues, so actors thought it was OK to lie in the audition and say they could swim. 99% of the time, however, we actors did the rescues ourselves as – also contrary to popular belief – Baywatch did not have a big budget.
But he is subject of this episode's video montage as he schools the young lifeguards on how to do their jobs. Boy do they ever not appreciate that. Ooh I just noticed that these episodes were filmed before they have the Baywatch Pool, a pool where pretty much all underwater scenes are filmed for the rest of the series.
With little more than a dozen words, actor Zac Efron has spiked interest in a relatively obscure mental disorder. In an interview with Men's Health, the entertainer was quoted as saying: "I just don't go out. People in large groups, it triggers my agoraphobia".
The actor says that while running at his home, he accidentally tripped on a pair of socks, which caused him to smash his chin and jaw on a granite fountain and faint. After he had gained consciousness, he found his chin bone hanging off his face.
While Zac Efron clearly enjoys his role as an uncle, he is not ready to be a dad. The 35-year-old has grown into more adult roles since he first rose to teen dream fame, and recently played the father of actress Ryan Kiera Armstrong in the film Firestarter.
In the run up to his shoot on the set of Baywatch, Efron went zero carbs for nine days - presumably to get rid of sub-cutaneous water to look extra ripped. 9 days of absolutely zero carbs & sugar. Only organic grass fed/free range protein and organic leafy greens.
How does Jennifer Aniston do intermittent fasting?
Aniston's preferred way of intermittent fasting limits her eating time window to eight hours per day while fasting for the other 16 hours, Tanya B. Freirich, MS, RD, CDN, New York-based nutritionist and registered dietitian, told Health.
