Zac Efron has blessed the timeline with a series of topless holiday snaps from Italy, debuting a freshly bleached blonde hairdo — and, predictably, the gays are losing it.
There are a few things in life we can always rely on: Drag Race winners causing weekly discourse, Marvel refusing to take a break, and Ryan Murphy turning serial killers into homoerotic cautionary tales. But at the top of this unchanging queer cultural list?
Shirtless male celebrities sending gay Twitter into absolute meltdown.
Zac Efron: Blonde, Buff & Breaking the Internet
Zac’s latest photos — platinum blonde, bronzed, and bearing more muscle than a PureGym on leg day — hit the internet over the weekend, and the reaction was immediate.
Of course, this isn’t Efron’s first rodeo. He’s long been a generation’s sexual awakening, thanks to High School Musical, Baywatch, and a few too many beach running scenes. But something about Blonde Zac Efron, On Holiday, In Italy has sent the internet into full renaissance fair — because the linguistic creativity on display? Shakespearean.
The Tweets That Live Rent-Free
“Zac Efron being a platinum blonde again might just have solved all my problems in life,” one user wrote, summarising the vibe.
“So funny how I used to be like: me??? fall for a man??? how embarrassing… until blonde Zac Efron entered the chat,” another posted.
“Now I am on my knees!!!! yes sir!!!! anything you want sir!!!”
Another more pious user admitted:
“I need Zac Efron in the biblical sense.”
And one final voice of reason?
“And this is why we refer to Zac Efron as ZADDY.”
Holidaying with the A-List
The 36-year-old actor wasn’t alone on his Italian escape either. Joining him were The Boys star Chace Crawford, Top Gun: Maverick’s Miles Teller, his wife Keleigh Teller, and Nina Dobrev.
While it’s unclear exactly what prompted the new bleach-blonde era (a role? a vibe shift?), fans are in agreement: we’re absolutely here for it.
