Zac Efron is speaking out about his major health scare shortly before the holidays. To update ya, Zac was in Papua New Guinea filming his upcoming documentary series Killing Zac Efron when he reportedly contracted a “form of -typhoid or similar bacterial -infection.”
According to The Sunday Telegraph (via The Daily Mail), Zac took a “life-or-death flight” to Brisbane, Australia with medical professionals, where he was admitted to St. Andrews War Memorial Hospital in "a stable condition.”
The actor spoke out about the incident on Twitter, saying "Very thankful to everyone who has reached out. 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. Thanks for all the love and concern, see you in 2020!"
