Zac Efron Speaks Out After Emergency Hospitalization for Deadly Infection

 

Zac Efron posted an update following his emergency hospitalization after picking up a serious bacterial infection in Papua New Guinea earlier this month.

Zac Efron Through The Years

“Very thankful to everyone who has reached out,” the Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile actor captioned a photo on Instagram on Sunday, December 29, that showed him with a group of villagers and their children in the island country. “I did get sick in Papua New Guinea but I bounced back quick and finished an amazing 3 weeks in P.N.G.”

“I’m home for the holidays with my friends and family,” he concluded. “Thanks for all the love and concern, see you in 2020!”

As previously reported, the 32-year-old was transported on an emergency flight out of Papua New Guinea to Australia just before Christmas after suffering an “extraordinary life-or-death medical emergency,” according to Australia’s Sunday Telegraph.

Celebrity Health Scares

The former High School Musical star had been in the country filming his new Quibi series, ironically called Killing Zac Efron.

The newspaper reported that he was flown to an airport in Brisbane, Australia, accompanied by a medical evacuation crew after contracting a “form of typhoid or similar bacterial infection.”

Dr. Glenn McKay, director of Medical Rescue, which oversaw Efron’s flight, told the Telegraph that they “retrieved a U.S. citizen in his 30s from PNG to Brisbane for medical attention in Australia.”

He was reportedly in a “stable” condition when he was admitted to St Andrews War Memorial Hospital in Spring Hill, where he was treated for several days before being allowed to return home to the U.S. on Christmas Eve.

Efron was spotted out in L.A. on Saturday, December 28, attending an event for Vejo, a brand that makes specialist blenders.

He is executive producing and starring in Killing Zac Efron, which Quibi said in a press release in November would feature the Greatest Showman star heading “deep into the jungles of a remote, dangerous island to carve his own name in expedition history.”

The actor was spending 21 days living off the grid “with nothing but basic gear, a guide partner and a will to survive.”

Red Carpet Date! Sophia Bush and Grant Hughes Attend WHCA Dinner

Finding The One! Sophia Bush has kept her romance with Grant Hughes relatively private since the pair were first spotted together in Malibu in May 2020. However, the FocusMotion Health founder has shared a few photos of the couple. Ever since landing the role of Brooke Davis on One Tree Hill in 2003, Bush’s personal life has made headlines. That is something that the actress and activist has intentionally changed, she explained in June 2021. “It’s hard to have nothing that’s yours. And when you are a person who lives in the public eye, everybody wants to pick over everything and that can be really tricky,” the False Positive actress told Entertainment Tonight at the time. “I also grew up in the early aughts when girls were raked over the coals for any choices that they made. And I just was like, ‘I don’t think I like this.’ I didn’t like having my private life lied about. There were times where someone would send through an article and be like, ‘Well, supposedly you’re dating t...
