.ZacEfron opens up about what it truly took to gain his 'Baywatch' bod — and why it's not really attainable for anyone.
In addition to taking diuretics, Efron admits toon very little sleep. His excitement for"Baywatch" waned as the lack of recovery took a toll on his body and mind."I started to develop insomnia," he says,"and I fell into a pretty bad depression, for a long time. Something about that experience burned me out. 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.
Efron told Men's Health that he's opening up about the experience now because he wants people trying to obtain the"Baywatch" body to know how devastating the process was for him, and how it took six months afterward to finallyto feel OK. After filming ended, Efron says he was able to take a real break from work and went to Australia to fall out of shape for the first time in his adult life.
"At one point, that was a dream of mine — what it would be like to not have to be in shape all the time," he says."What if I just say, 'F*ck it' and let myself go? So I tried it, and I was successful. And for all the reasons I thought it would be incredible, I was just miserable. My body would not feel healthy; I just didn't feel alive. I felt bogged down and slow."
