Zac Efron has spoken out after being found in a swimming pool and rushed to hospital while holidaying in Ibiza.

QD5O4 Zac Efron was taken to the hospital Friday night after suffering a “minor swimming incident” in Spain, his representative has told TMZ.

The High School Musical and Baywatch star, 36, was reportedly found in the pool of a villa in Ibiza by two workers, who then pulled him out of the water.

It is unclear whether Efron suffered a medical emergency or was at risk of drowning.

The exact details surrounding the ordeal have not yet been released, but Efron has today shared an update with fans.

He shared a photo of himself doing weights on his Instagram stories along with the caption: “happy and healthy - thanks for the well wishes.”

Efron also has a friendship with Olympic gold medallist Simone Biles.

After Team USA’s gold medal win in the gymnastics team final earlier this week, the Family Affair star gave the athlete a sweet shoutout via social media.

He wrote on his Instagram Stories at the time, “So incredibly proud of you @simonebiles.”

The two met back at the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro when Biles, 27, confessed that she and her friends were huge fans of Efron.

The 17 Again star posed for a few pics with the gymnast at the time, and captioned one via X, “My Olympic dream came true #Rio2016 #FinalFive.”
