Zac Efron parties on a yacht with stunning women in Saint-Tropez... after his ex-girlfriend Vanessa Hudgens welcomes her first child

Zac Efron was joined by several gorgeous women as he enjoyed downtime on a yacht in St. Tropez this week.

The 36-year-old High School Musical alum flashed his brawny biceps in a short-sleeved black T-shirt.

He added a pair of cuffed light wash blue jeans that cropped above his ankle, teaming them with white Vans slip-on sneakers.

The Hollywood leading man, who stars in the new rom-com A Family Affair alongside Nicole Kidman , shielded his blue eyes behind a pair of dark sunglasses.

This comes after his ex-girlfriend Vanessa Hudgens welcomed her first child with her husband Cole Tucker.

Zac and Vanessa costarred on High School Musical and dated from 2005 to 2010.

It comes after the star sparked confusion from fans when they noticed his different looking face in his latest movie.

For his day in sunny St. Tropez, the longtime entertainer looked typically handsome with his dark hair cropped short and his beard neatly trimmed.

The ladies accompanying him looked effortlessly styling in summery dresses.

One woman modeled a low-cut sleeveless sky blue dress, adding black flats and pulling her dark hair back.

Another donned a form-fitting black dress and turquoise slingback shoes, letting her long, brunette hair blow in the breeze.

Two other women opted to wear ivory ensembles and narrow black sunglasses.

According to a report from The Sun , the friends dined with Efron at Loulou.

Zac's fans raised questions about his appearance after watching his new Netflix film, which premiered on the streamer June 28.

In the romantic comedy, which also stars Joey King, the actor's visage is noticeably wider than in his previous works.

One person on the social media app X wrote, 'Trying to watch #AFamilyAffair with #ZacEfron, but I'm way too distracted by whatever he did to his beautiful face, why would he do that to himself?'

Back in 2021, the Baywatch star unveiled his dramatic new appearance, attributing it to a severe fall that shattered his jaw.

Despite his explanation, fans continue to question the change in his features whenever he reemerges in the spotlight.

Some online supporters defend Zac, pointing to his surgery following the serious fall he survived years ago.

'A tweet about Zac Efron's face goes viral literally every month & every single time someone has to explain what happened to his jaw & how he had to get reconstructive surgery & what not, this sh** is tiring,' one person said.

In 2022, Zac appeared on the cover of Men's Health , and explained what happened to his face, after rumors of plastic surgery circulated one year earlier.

In the interview, he revealed that he had an accident at home that altered his appearance.

The star recalled that he slipped on a pair of socks while running, which resulted in him smashing his chin on a granite fountain.

He said that when he was injured, the masseter muscles on the inside of his face and jaw then 'compensated' for the abrasion, causing them to grow in size.
