Zac Efron broke his jaw on Sunday after slipping in a puddle at the entrance of his Los Angeles area estate.
These have been decidedly trying time for Efron, who completed rehab for alcohol and drug abuse in September.
The actor had to have his jaw wired shut and received stitches for a gash on his face. After spending several hours at an area hospital he was released and is expected to make a full recovery.
Efron and his former girlfriend Lily Collins have been seen together recently, with multiple reports suggesting that she has been helping the young actor stay clean.
A friend of the couple said during a recent interview, “Lily is the perfect girl for Zac to be dating right now. She’s young, gorgeous and smart — but more than anything, she doesn’t drink or use drugs. Zac knows if he wants to save his career and his life, he needs to stay sober and it’s making his transition a lot easier to be dating someone like Lily.”
Efron was expected to begin promoting his latest film ‘That Awkward Moment’ but those plans have been put on hold while the actor recovers. The film hits theaters in January 2014.
