Efron confirmed reports that he received medical treatment on Monday via social media.
“Very thankful to everyone who has reached out,” he said. “I did get sick in Papua New Guinea but I bounced back quick and finished an amazing 3 weeks in P.N.G. I’m home for the holidays with my friends and family. Thanks for all the love and concern, see you in 2020!”
According to the Daily Telegraph, the 32-year-old actor was filming a documentary series when he reportedly came down with a “form of typhoid or similar bacterial infection.”
