Hollywood star Zac Efron taken to Spanish hospital after pool incident

US actor Zac Efron has reportedly been taken to hospital in Spain after being pulled “out of the water” after an incident in a swimming pool at a villa in Ibiza.

US news site TMZ said the 36-year-old was “found inside the swimming pool by two people working at the villa who pulled him out of the water” on Friday.

His spokesperson said he was hospitalised as “a precautionary measure” and is “just fine” after being allowed home on Saturday.

The High School Musical star got a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame last year and praised the late actor Matthew Perry for motivating him to reach the next stage of his career after starring together on 17 Again..

Before unveiling his star, Efron described the honour as “so surreal” and said it was “just insane” to be part of the Hollywood tradition.

“I really also want to mention someone that is not here today, and that’s Matthew Perry, who was so kind and generous with me when we worked on 17 Again,” he said.

“Collaborating with him…it was so much fun and it really did propel me and motivate me in so many ways. It really pushed me into the next chapter of my career, for that, thank you so muchMatthew.

“Thinking about you a lot today.”
