Zac Efron Makes A Surprise Appearance In The Audience At 'Dancing With The Stars'

The High School Musical icon made an unexpected stop as an audience member during last week's Dancing With The Stars episode, there to support his younger brother, reality star Dylan Efron, who has made it to the show's semi-finals.

As his brother completed his choreographed routines, the network's cameras panned to Zac several times, as he was sitting with his mom and little sister in the crowd. He had a big smile on his face and applauded his brother, and a clip of him went viral after he humorously asked his mom if Dylan had received a good score.

Although most internet users couldn't get over how supportive of a big brother he was being, others also continued to circulate pictures and videos of him on the show because of how different he looked, in a good way. You can see pictures of him at the show here!

Fans React To Zac Efron's Facial Transformation On Social Media

If you've kept up with the 38-year-old actor over the last few years, you've likely noticed that the appearance of his face has changed drastically, and he has been dealing with a lot of backlash over it.

The Iron Claw performer, who has been in the public eye since he was a teenager, started getting called out for the differences in his face around 2021, and since then, he's received a lot of backlash as well as cosmetic treatment and plastic surgery accusations. Although he insisted that the changes to his face were the result of long-lasting trauma from breaking his jaw in 2013, fans remained skeptical.

However, after seeing his face look slightly less 'full' on the dancing competition show, fans have been weighing in on how they think he looks much better.

"He looks great!" wrote an Instagram user.

"His face is getting back to normal," added a fan with heart eye emojis.

"Zac got hot again!" commented a user.

"This is what we wanted!" added another. "Love seeing him support Dylan."
