Efron flew into Australia right before international borders closed due to the coronavirus pandemic, however he doesn’t seem to have concrete plans on returning home to America anytime soon.

The star actually had a return flight to Los Angeles last month, but cancelled it when his tourist visa was extended from three to 12 months by the Department of Home Affairs.

“He was only planning to fly home if he had to,” a source revealed to the Daily Mail. “He didn’t really want to go back to America.”
