In the spotlight again
According to People, on Sunday, September 1, a month after the incident in Spain, the actor was spotted attending the ‘amfAR Gala’ during the 81st Venice International Film Festival.
Zac looked stylish at the event, wearing a black blazer, t-shirt and pants as well as a pair of black sunglasses. He was photographed alongside other stars including Richard Gere and Gere’s wife Alejandra Silva. The three were seen smiling and chatting together. Richard Gere, 75, received amfAR’s Inspiration Award at the event.
Hosted by Kate Beckinsale, the ceremony also honored Antonio Banderas and filmmaker Mohammed Al Turki. The evening also featured performances from Kelly Rowland and Rumer Willis.
Zac’s appearance comes after his rep confirmed to PEOPLE that he suffered a “minor swimming accident” while staying at a villa in Ibiza on August 2. Efron was hospitalized as a precaution after water entered his lungs during a dive. Security personnel at the villa pulled him out of the water when he showed signs of distress. Efron was discharged from the hospital the following morning after X-rays confirmed there was no water left in his lungs.
On August 4, Zac shared a photo of himself lifting weights and wrote, “Happy and healthy. Thanks for the well wishes.”
