Hollywood actor Zac Efron revealed that his `Baywatch` body was not sustainable, and he suffered from `bad depression` while training for the movie. The 34-year-old actor stated in a 2017 interview with Men`s Health Magazine that he is no longer concerned with keeping the physique he had for the filming of `Baywatch` in 2017. "That `Baywatch` look, I don`t know if that`s really attainable. There`s just too little water in the skin," he told the outlet. "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, two to three per cent body fat."
Efron revealed to Men`s Health that while undergoing the demanding training needed for `Baywatch,` he experienced "severe sadness" and felt exhausted. The actor thought he was prepared to modify his approach to exercise after the 2020 pandemic. "I started to develop insomnia," he added in the magazine`s October 2022 cover story. "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. Ultimately, they chalked it up to taking way too many diuretics for way too long, and it messed something up."
