The Hollywood star was staying in a private villa on the island.

Zac Efron has been hospitalised in Ibiza after being found ‘in distress’ in a swimming pool.

The High School Musical star had been staying at a private villa on the island, and was discovered and pulled out of the water by two members of staff at the rented accommodation.

A representative for the 36-year-old told TMZ that Efron was taken to hospital as a ‘precautionary measure’ and is ‘doing just fine’ now.

The Iron Claw actor had been travelling around Europe in recent weeks, spending some time in Paris for the opening of the 2024 Olympic Games before moving on to St Tropez, Mykonos and most recently, Ibiza.

He appeared on stage alongside DJ Martin Garrix at the iconic Ushuaia nightclub on the island last week and helped the Dutch performer get the crowd hyped up.

Efron recently starred in new Netflix rom-com A Family Affair with Nicole Kidman, marking the actors’ reunion 12 years after they appeared in The Paperboy together.

The film contains several raunchy scenes between the Hollywood pair, with many people on social media remarking on the 20 year age gap between the Aussie and the American.

He is signed on to star in a reboot of the 1987 comedy Three Men and a Baby, which is currently in pre-production.

Efron’s representative added that he had been discharged from hospital sometime yesterday and was recovering well from the incident which occurred on Friday.
