Zac Efron’s friends are reportedly concerned that he might be doing drugs.
After his alleged run-in with some strangers in L.A., Efron told police that he had gone out for sushi when his bodyguard was attacked and he was punched.
“It was the hardest I’ve ever been hit in my life,” Efron reportedly told police after the incident.
The Miami Herald reports that Efron’s “bodyguard” is actually a convicted drug dealer who has been seen with Efron lately.
“Zac’s a loner,” a friend told TMZ. “He goes out rarely, and the idea of him driving for miles to go to some sushi restaurant in downtown L.A. after midnight is preposterous.”
Efron has had drug issues before. The NY Daily News reports that Efron reportedly went to rehab twice last year because of a cocaine addiction. His friends, however, have alleged that he never actually went.
Police made no arrested after the sushi run-in, stating that they saw it as “mutual combat.”
