in the upcoming biopic, . Brace yourselves for . Here’s why these pics are rather alarming. The last time we saw Zac Efron majorly buff up was for . Since appearing in the iconic flick, the actor has been open about how his regime for the role took its toll on his physical and mental health. Speaking to Efron admitted to taking a diuretic called Lasix to help him alter his look and said it really messed with him. Hence why this is so alarming. “I started to develop insomnia and I fell into a pretty bad depression, for a long time. Something about that experience burned me out,” he said. “I had a really hard time recentering. Ultimately they chalked it up to taking way too many diuretics for way too long, and it messed something up.” In a separate interview, he told the mag: “When I shot , I didn’t have a carb for, like, six months. “I almost lost my mind.
