Zac Efron Recovering After Contracting Life-Threatening Bacterial Infection

Zac Efron had a very close call with death.

While filming his upcoming survival series in Papua New Guinea, the 32-year-old actor contracted a “form of ­typhoid or similar bacterial ­infection” just before Christmas, the Daily Mail reports.

Zac was reportedly flown to Brisbane, Australia on a “life-or-death flight” with the assistance of medical professionals. He was then admitted St Andrews War Memorial Hospital in Spring Hill “in a stable condition.”

Zac received treatment for several days before being “given the all clear” by doctors to fly home to the United States on Christmas Eve.

The upcoming Quibi survival series Killing Zac Efron follows Zac deep in the jungle of a remote, dangerous island, falling off the grid for 21 days. He’ll take with him nothing but basic gear and a guide partner.

We hope Zac gets well soon!
