Zac Efron flaunted his muscular physique as he soaked up the sun on a luxury yacht during a trip to St Tropez on Sunday.
The 35-year-old High School Musical graduate, who recently took his little half-brother and little sister to a circus in his hometown of San Luis Obispo, was also joined by close friends as they spent time on the water.
The actor flaunted his pronounced abs while shirtless and sported a pair of gray patterned swim trunks.
When not cooling off in the water, the star donned reflective sunglasses and later donned a green bucket hat when chatting with friends.
After enjoying a bit of sunbathing, Efron sported his look with a black vest and stepped off the yacht to show off his impressive skills on a jet ski.
Ready for summer! Zac Efron, 35, flaunted his muscular physique during a trip to St Tropez on Sunday as he soaked up the hot sun on a luxury yacht

After a long day on the water, Zac cooled off by taking a quick shower on one side of the spacious yacht.
The star appeared to be enjoying his luxurious trip to St Tropez, which is a popular summer destination for tourists and celebrities.
The ‘Greatest Showman’ actor has flaunted his toned physique before, including in the 2017 film ‘Baywatch.’ However, speaking to Men’s Health in September last year, he was open about his difficulty in maintaining such a shape “to reach”.
“That Baywatch look, I don’t know if that’s really achievable,” Efron admitted. “There’s just not enough water in the skin.” It’s fake; it looks like CGI.’
He went on to explain, “And to do that, you needed Lasix, powerful diuretics.” So I don’t have to do that. “I much prefer having 2 to 3 percent more body fat.”
The star revealed that the grueling workout to achieve the Baywatch physique took a negative toll on him. “I started developing insomnia and went into a pretty bad depression for a long time. Something about that experience burned me out.’
While he doesn’t put in the necessary effort to achieve such form, the actor still follows a fitness regimen that includes workouts, yoga, foam rollers, and ice baths too.
“It’s my favorite part of the day.” Before that is the worst, and that’s when you finally commit and dive into it. From that point on you have conquered something deep inside you; “You don’t want to freeze,” he said of ice baths.

Zac added, “That’s the simplest philosophy: Anything you don’t want to do, make it a habit.”
In addition to a relaxing trip, the actor also has a number of other projects up his sleeve. He is set to appear in the Netflix film called A Family Affair, which hits theaters later this year on November 17.
The romantic comedy not only stars Efron, but also The Kissing Booth star Joey King, Nicole Kidman, Kathy Bates and Liza Koshy too.
The premise reads, “An unexpected romance triggers comic consequences for a young woman, her mother and her boss as they grapple with the complications of love, sex and identity,” reads an IMDB summary.
Last October, Zac was spotted flaunting his torn abs on the set of upcoming A24 biopic The Iron Claw. The project tells the story of the Von Erich family, with Efron portraying Kevin Von Erich.
The official premise, according to IMDB, “follows the history of the Von Erichs, a dynasty of wrestlers who have greatly influenced the sport from the 1960s to the present day.”

The Greatest Beer Run Ever star continued, “I know when I meet the right person, it’s probably when I least expect it.”
Zac previously dated Vanessa Hudgens, his High School Musical co-star, until their split in 2010, and was also involved with model and entrepreneur Sami Miro from 2014 until their split two years later.
The actor was also involved with Australian model Vanessa Valladares from 2020 until their split in September 2021.
