ZAC EFRON IS kicking back and enjoying the beginning of warmer days. But as a new Instagram video of the actor spending quality time with family at the beach shows, he still has the sculpted muscular physique he built to play Kevin Von Erich in the critically acclaimed wrestling drama The Iron Claw.

The clip shows Efron hanging out with his brother Dylan and four-year-old sister Olivia, with the two older brothers holding Olivia above the waves. "First day of spring," Efron wrote in the caption.


Many of the comments on the video allude to its wholesome content, with one follower writing: "Someone make this man a father." Others, however, pointed out how fit both Zac and Dylan look in their swimwear.

Efron is coming off of an intense press tour for The Iron Claw, a movie which also required months of working out and grueling stunt work; it was an experience that he later described as "one of the most challenging things I've ever done, physically."

"I have so much admiration and respect for the world of Professional Wrestling and to the sacrifice and dedication of the athletes," Efron wrote on Instagram shortly after the film's release. "These guys tour for MONTHS putting their bodies on the line everyday to perform."

Efron's respect for the sport is clear, but he has also been outspoken about the drawbacks and downsides to completely transforming his body for a movie role. After getting into extremely lean, vascular shape for the 2017 action comedy Baywatch, he has publicly stated that he would never again go to such extremes again.

"That Baywatch look, I don’t know if that’s really attainable," he told Men's Health in 2022. "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. So I don’t need to do that. I much prefer to have an extra, you know, 2 to 3% body fat... I started to develop insomnia, and I fell into a pretty bad depression, for a long time. Something about that experience burned me out. I had a really hard time recentering."
