The actor has was vocal about his extreme diet for “Baywatch” and the negative effect it had on him.

He explained to Men’s Health magazine, “I started to develop insomnia, 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 re-centering. Ultimately, they chalked it up to taking way too many diuretics for way too long, and it messed something up.”

Efron admitted to the publication that he was overtraining, eating the same three meals daily and running on four hours of sleep per night.

“That ‘Baywatch’ look, I don’t know if that’s really attainable,” Efron reflected. “There’s just too little water in the skin. Like, it’s fake; it looks CGI’d. And that required Lasix, powerful diuretics, to achieve. So I don’t need to do that. I much prefer to have an extra, you know, two to three percent body fat.”
