Zac Efron is making waves with a striking new hairstyle, revealed in behind-the-scenes photos from the set of his upcoming film Judgment Day. The 37-year-old actor, known for his roles in High School Musical and The Greatest Showman, surprised fans with a fresh, edgier look.
The viral photo, taken in mid-May, shows Efron with shorter hair on the sides and longer, styled strands on top, now a lighter shade. He posed with a thumbs-up and a wide smile, wearing a white tank top that showed off his muscular build and visible arm tattoos.
Compared to his appearance at the A Family Affair premiere nearly a year ago, fans were quick to praise the transformation. On Reddit, one user said, “He looks so much better here than he did around the time Iron Claw was out.” Others echoed the sentiment, calling it his “best look yet” and describing him as “one beautiful man.”
Efron’s transformation is tied to his role in Judgment Day, a new comedy that also stars Will Ferrell, Billy Eichner, Priyanka Chopra Jonas, and Bobby Cannavale. While Efron’s specific role has not been revealed, anticipation is growing among fans.
In a recent interview with Parade, Eichner shared details about the film’s concept. “It’s a very fun premise,” he said. “Will Ferrell plays a daytime TV court show judge, like a Judge Judy type, and I play his bailiff. I think it’ll be really fun.”
With a bold new look and a star-studded cast, Judgment Day is already generating buzz—and Efron’s makeover is only adding to the excitement.
