Zac Efron Celebrates 11 Years of Sobriety

The star stopped drinking in 2013 following a brief stint in rehab. In a 2016 interview with Elle Magazine, the actor said that sobriety has helped him find structure in life.

‘There was a moment when my morning routine was, like, Get up and Google yourself. But that stopped, dramatically and instantly, probably three years ago,’ he said.

‘I realised that viewing yourself through other people's pictures is not living your own life. I wasn't really being myself. A lot of my hobbies had gone out the window. I couldn't skateboard or surf for fear of being followed. Crossing the line of fear is what leads to greatness.’

Predator by Andrew Littlefield
