Zac Efron was rushed to hospital before Christmas when he contracted a deadly illness in Papua New Guinea, according to reports.
The actor, 32, was filming a new series titled Killing Zac Efron when he apparently became ill with “a form of typhoid or similar bacterial infection”, The Sunday Telegraph reports.
Killing Zac Efron will show the actor venturing “deep into the jungles of a remote, dangerous island to carve his own name in expedition history”.
Efron was said to be going off-grid for 21 days “with nothing but basic gear, a guide partner and a will to survive”.
