Zac Efron banks on the miracle of emu oil


Zac Efron is pretty and he wants to make sure he stays that way. In January the future Footloose star had his appendix removed leaving a surgery scar on his abdomen. Desperate to be rid of the scar, Efron has turned to emu oil to erase the evidence.

A source said: “Zac applies emu oil daily to a scar he got from his appendectomy earlier this year. He can’t handle having imperfect abs and the oil, which is made from the bird’s fat is said to fade scars. It is already working.”

[From Female First]

There’s really nothing wrong with this revelation except for the fact that Zac can’t “handle” not having perfect abs. Emu oil is widely considered a wonder ointment for skin, muscle and joint ailments. Efron using it on his scar is probably the best thing he could do to reduce the signs of scarring. When it’s said, though, that he can’t handle having imperfect abs, it takes the teen heartthrob from metrosexual to just plain ridiculous. It’s a precarious line Efron walks anyway.

Zac probably stares at himself in the mirror often anyway, but now I see him scrutinizing his abs for hours with tears in his eyes while applying emu oil in 10 minute intervals. Zac Efron could use some edginess before he falls over the edge between girl and boy, maybe a scar could have done that. Doesn’t he know scars are sexy? He could have told the chicks it from a wicked knife fight, and they would have believed him.

Ren McCormack wouldn’t have put emu oil on his scar.

    What.a.pansy.

    So is that why emus are dying, so Zac can preserve his prettiness? I don’t know where emu oil comes from, so just presuming they’re dying in order to extract the oil out of them? There’s better stuff out there to diminsh scarring, one was developed by an actor’s now deceased hubby. For the life of me I cannot remember her name, she was pregnant with their third child when he died of a heart attack. British actor I think her name is Natasha or something like that. Dang, I know it is on another web-site but too lazy to go look. There’s also Bio-Oil, but not sure what it is made out of.

    Martin Kelly, husband of actress Natascha McElhone. I think it might have been palm oil…? (Kelly was co-founder of Facing the World, org set up to provide surgical asst. to 3rd World kids with facial deformities.)

    This kid is so pretty, he’s ugly.

  5. ff says:

    I dunno that he’s got time during all the promotion of HSM3 that’s been going on to spend hours in front of the mirror but I think people believe what they want anyway.

    Of course he if he was ‘scrutinising’ his scar while working out at the gym that’s two birds with one stone (three if you want to count the emu).

  6. smit33 says:

    Give him some boobs and he could be a girl. His obsessed with his looks, and unfortunately for him it only last so long.

  7. Stacy says:

    my best friend and I were discussing him yesterday.Cover up his face and take off his shirt and he is perfect. The scar only added. He needs a manlier face, or at least to stop wearing as much make-up as Vanessa.

    And instead of doing kiddy movies and musicals (granted i love footloose-i think they made a mistake remaking the movie and an even bigger mistake casting efron as ren) do something with some edge. Show you have some real chops not just your pretty golden boy status.

  8. Carena says:

    I’m sure he’ll retract when PETA hears about it. Then you’ll see him with a t-shirt with a picture of an emu on it and a fake “I really care” expression on his face. Its all part of his plan….

  9. vdantev says:

    All the Emu oil in the world won’t stop you from being gay, Zac.

  10. Helen says:

    He might not be able to live with his scar, but obviously teh smell is okay. That stuff stinks a whole house out

  11. Codzilla says:

    This one freaks me out more than the other pretty boys, for some reason. All that makeup, and those dead, robotic eyes. 😯

  12. aleach says:

    wow, where can i get some of this miracle oil?

  13. tigerlille says:

    You guys are reading a lot into a statement made by an unknown “source.”

  14. that_girl says:

    There’s products at Walgreens to lessen the apperance of scars. No need to use emu oil.

  15. Charlene says:

    Since when is an appendectomy scar anywhere near the abs? It’s down in the right-hand corner by the hipbone. Unless Zac is walking around in pouch underwear it isn’t going to show.

    Methinks this comment is meant to explain why he doesn’t actually have a scar on his abdomen, possibly because he was in hospital for something other than an appendectomy.

  16. missthang says:

    Charlene, I have also had an appendectomy and I have three scars from it. One is directly under my belly button, maybe a inch or two long, and the other two are about two inches long on my panty line. I think he is freaking out about the belly button one, which to me looks like I use to have a wicked piercing there that didn’t heal right. I just had my surgery a few years ago and they do the three cuts so you won’t have one large one anymore. I don’t know if this story is true anyways….can’t he just slather foundation on it like he does his face?

  17. Ashley says:

    Cocoa butter works wonders for scars.

    That being said ZE is gross. Why anyone would find this revolting little troll sexy is beyond me. Get off your high horse honey you’re just a Disney star.

  18. Sean York says:

    I think Zac is HOT HOT HOT, with or without a scar. Unlike other “pretty bois” he can act and sing.

    I would be happy to apply the emu oil or anthing else that you want baby!!

  19. Moo says:

    Nah my appendicectomy scar is in the same place he describes. it goies diagonally across my bottom right abdominal. They split the exterior and interior abdominal muscles (perpendicularly to prevent hernia) to get to it. My scar is about four inches across that ab. He’s probably also worried that his definition will go on that muscle (and his other abs) as he can’t use them for a while.
    Having said that, he should get a life. There are worse things.

  20. What’s up with the Zac Ephron craze. I just don’t really get it. Maybe it’s a teeni bop thing.

  21. Doesn’t he know that scars are hot. All girls like scars. Well I’m just saying is all.
