Zac Efron Flaunts Ripped Body During Shirtless Jog in Costa Rica [PHOTO]

Zac Efron just took jogging to the next level!

Although Efron is away from Hollywood, he maintains his ripped body that he just flaunted during his shirtless jog in Costa Rica. Daily Mail shared the exclusive snaps of "High School Musical" alum who rocked his blue and white striped board shorts as he enjoyed his trip to the beach on Wednesday.

Efron then approached his friends after his shirtless run - and one person in the group is seemingly his new love interest.

The actor, who broke up with Vanessa Valladares in April, showed intimate moments with a tall, slender woman who was wearing a tiny black bikini. In one photo, Efron looked smitten by her as he laughed with her.

Other photos also presented Efron and his muscular physique after dipping in the water.

His new public outing came months after calling it quits with Valladares. He reportedly met his ex-girlfriend at Byron Bay's General Store café in June 2020 after the store's boss introduced them to each other. They eventually confirmed their relationship in September 2020 when the public spotted them holding hands.

Efron's body made his fans scream again as it looks even better than the very manly look he sported for his Netflix series, "Down To Earth." During that time, he looked hot enough that fans called him "Daddy."

Zac Efron Sparks Plastic Surgery Buzz

Although his physique proves that the actor has been working hard to improve the feature, he previously sparked rumblings that he underwent plastic surgeries for his face.

Last year, Efron joined other celebrities on Bill Nye's "Earth Day Musical" to urge people to save and care for the planet. However, an eight-second clip of his appearance went viral as people assumed he went under the knife for his lips and jaws.

Efron never commented on the plastic surgery buzz, but people compared his look to "handsome Squidward" and "live-action Shrek."

Unfortunately, it was not the first time he suffered from shaming.

Before regaining his ripped physique, he caught people's attention for having a "dad bod." The term is being used to describe men who seemingly gain weight with fatherhood.

During his "Hot Ones" interview, he told the listeners that he does not want to be in that shape again.

"It was so hard. You're working with almost no wiggle room, right? You've got things like water under your skin that you're worrying about, making your six-pack into a four-pack. S- like that - it's just not - it's just stupid," he continued.
