Zac Efron compared to ‘Shrek’ character Lord Farquaad with shocking new look
Stick to the Status Quo, Zac.
Social media users had a lot to say after Zac Efron was photographed filming for his new role as Kevin Von Erich in “The Iron Claw.”
In the leaked photos, the “High School Musical” alum rocked a tight gray cut-off crew neck tank, ripped denim shorts and – most notably – a brown wig with short bangs and wavy hair that flowed right past his ears.
After the photo went viral, Twitter users had a field day comparing him to the “Shrek” villain Lord Farquaad — a character who had short black hair with bangs and was short in stature.
“he looks like if lord farquaad hit the weight room,” one fan tweeted, referring to the muscle gain Efron took on in order to resemble his wrestling role.
“Lord Farquaad but make it the 21st century,” someone else added.
“i see lord farquaad has been working out,” another fan joked.
“not zac efron becoming lord farquaad’s lost brother,” a user tweeted.
“lord farquaad’s been having a glow up!” someone chimed in.
“if a brooklyn art girl had a baby by lord farquaad from shrek,” another person joked, referring to the stereotypical style of a woman living in Brooklyn, New York City.
“literally looks like lord farquaad on steroids,” another fan summed up.
Efron, however, didn’t seem too bothered by the comparison as he has yet to comment on the social media madness.
Back in September, the “Neighbors” actor set the record straight on yet another physical attribute: his jaw.
After fans speculated that he had undergone surgery to enhance his jawline, Efron explained to Men’s Health that he had shattered it while running around his house with socks.
After getting surgery to repair the damage, his facial muscles got “really, really big” to compensate for the injury.
“The masseters just grew,” he told the outlet. “They just got really, really big.”
