Zac Efron has been hosptialized following an incident in Ibiza.

The Hollywood actor has been traveling round different parts of Europe in recent weeks and recently attended 'Prelude To The Olympics' at Fondation Louis Vuitton on July 25 in Paris, France.

Efron has since been spotted living it up in Ibiza and even joined close pal Martin Garrix on stage during his DJ set at Ushuaïa in scenes that could have been taken straight out of his 2015 movie We Are Your Friends.

The 36-year-old is believed to be staying in a villa somewhere on the island where he reportedly suffered an incident in the pool.

According to reports, Efron became distressed in the water for an unknown reason and had to be helped out of the water by two members of villa staff.

He was then taken to hospital yesterday (August 3) as a precautionary measure.

A representative for the actor confirmed that a Efron has been involved in a 'minor swimming incident' at the villa to TMZ.

According to the outlet The Iron Claw star is now on the mend.

Efron is no stranger to being hospitalized for accidents after he 'nearly died' in a 2013 ordeal that left him with a broken jaw.

It's believed that Efron had been running through his home in a pair of socks when he slipped and hit his face on a granite fountain.

As a result he had to have surgery and his jaw wired shut for a period of time. The actor also had undergo physical therapy afterwards.

Efron says the accident is the reason the shape of his face has changed over the years as different muscles had to work harder to compensate for his near-fatal injury.

Noting that he had to take some time off from therapy while filming the second season of Down to Earth with Zac Efron in Australia, Efron told Men's Health: "The masseters just grew. They just got really, really big."

The masseter muscles a pair of muscles in the jaw that are responsible for chewing and are located on both the left and right side of your face.
