Getting in shape for Baywatch left Zac Efron in a deep depression.
The actor told Men’s Health that his diet and fitness plans for the 2017 movie took a serious toll. He said, “I started to develop insomnia and I fell into a pretty bad depression Something about that experience burned me out. I had a really hard time recentering. Ultimately, they chalked it up to taking way too many diuretics for way too long, and it messed something up.”
Going forward, he says he “prefers to have an extra, you know, 2 to 3 percent body fat.”
