Zac Efron: Wax On, Wax Off
Zac Efron made a recent visit to Europe to do some promo for his upcoming new film 17 Again and appeared to be very lax in his personal grooming habits. First he showed up to a photocall in France wearing a t-shirt that was covered in stains (ew) and then he showed up at a premiere screening in the UK with a huge glob of ear wax seeping out of his ear (gross) …

… a sight that was not lost on his admirers here in the States because upon his arrival back in SoCal, he and girlfriend Vanessa Hudgens were showered with gifts to ensure that Zac’s waxy build-up problem goes away:

LOLOLOL! Someone decided to pummel Zanessa with Q-Tips as they made their way out of Beso restaurant here in LA Saturday night. The best part — one of the Q-Tips got stuck in Vanessa’s hair! You may also note that Zac’s ear canals were covered by his hair in these second photos … so who knows what ICK may be hiding underneath. After the jump, check out video of Zanessa getting showered with Q-Tips …
Now that Zac is rolling in the dough, he might want to invest in a box of the cotton-tipped swabs … just a suggestion :)

Well.. I think this is insane. Throwing q-tis at the guy because he had some wax on his ear?? Asking him about the wax he had?? What??? First of, if u ask a doctor they will tell you that using Q-tips is not the most healthy thing u can do to ur ears (which doesn’t mean of course that u should leave the wax there for everyone to see). The wax is suppose to protect your ear, but he should at least try to get rid of the one that is showing.. ewww. Weird situation, cannot believe they made such a big deal about this.

Could be worse… he could be into not showering, like someone else. But yeah, that is pretty gross.

I forgot, though it has nothing to do with this, Becks played his 109 match in his National Team. It was World Cup qualifying this past weekend and england won. He broke the outfield appearence record Moore had (legendery player that was in the team when england was champion back in 66′). And he looked super hot while doing so hahahaha.
March 30th, 2009 at 5:30 am
His ear looks deformed! Really gross!
March 30th, 2009 at 6:01 am
It was pretty gross. I bet the stained t-shirt was pretty gross also.
March 30th, 2009 at 6:01 am
I seem to recall hearing from doctors that you’re not really supposed to use Q-tips…
March 30th, 2009 at 6:14 am
I think this is so jacked! So he missed a spot while cleaning his ears! Why is everyone picking on him? I feel so bad for him..Then I realize he’s still pretty stinking beautiful and he’ll just go and cry into his HSM cash and don’t feel TOO bad anymore..
March 30th, 2009 at 6:41 am
This is just ridiculous. This is concidered news??? I can’t stand this world!
March 30th, 2009 at 6:48 am
Oh, grow up already. This is the dumbest bit of gossip EVER.
March 30th, 2009 at 6:56 am
i mean it’s gross that he had that much wax in his ear but really? you’re throwing q-tips at him when he’s walking into a restaurant with his girlfriend… really? that’s ridiculous….
March 30th, 2009 at 7:05 am
[...] with a published photo of Zac displaying wax build up in his ear (gross! But if you want to see, here you go)! Someone threw a packet of Q-Tip’s at the ‘High School Musical’ star which [...]
March 30th, 2009 at 7:49 am
Oh my god, he’s human like the rest of us! Gross! Torment him for his normalcy!!!
Poor kid, I feel bad for him. I can’t imagine living under that sort of scrutiny. Not only that people would even notice a little extra wax in his ear, but there was BACKLASH for it?!?! That’s just ludicrous.
March 30th, 2009 at 8:25 am
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah
March 30th, 2009 at 8:35 am
Is it me or is his ear deformed?
March 30th, 2009 at 8:36 am
I hope Vanessa washed off her tongue after seeing the first pic.
March 30th, 2009 at 9:02 am
@Stephanie — I don’t think anyone is calling it news, it’s goss and it’s funny. Look, the kid is a multi-millionaire and he’s human … it’s okay to poke fun at little faux pas like this.
March 30th, 2009 at 9:23 am
Trent, I agree with you. This world has to laugh a little- it’s the funniest shizz I’ve ever seen/heard of in a long time. Get some humor, people! He’s like what, 21? I’m sure he can handle this, if not he could just go cry and use his HSM Disney money to go buy something to make him happy.
March 30th, 2009 at 9:25 am
you have to put a warning with these kinds of pictures, I was eating lunch. Now I can’t. Maybe this is a good way for me to lose weight
March 30th, 2009 at 10:14 am
:O thats sooooo mean!!
and yea, your not supposed to use q-tips! it can fuckn kill you…
March 30th, 2009 at 11:56 am
I SMELL A PUBLICIST HERE!
March 30th, 2009 at 12:30 pm
@ Red – LOL! And uh, ya, this is pretty gross but oh well. It happens… I think. Oh, and Dana, are you talking about Robert Pattinson? If so, he has said in a new interview magazine that he does, in fact, take a shower. Which makes me like him again. : )
March 30th, 2009 at 12:38 pm
haha funny!
March 30th, 2009 at 1:54 pm
Oh man.. that’s screwed up!! Who would even be thinking that someone’s gonna get a pic of the inside of their ear??? It’s not like Zac can easily see the inside of his ear, to know that shit was there!! lol
March 30th, 2009 at 1:57 pm
@PixieBassline — c’mon, I would hope that people would be aware of dirt on their bodies and ear wax in their ears. I cannot see easily in my ears and yet I clean them every day … doesn’t everyone?
March 30th, 2009 at 2:21 pm
I do not clean my ears every day Trent. I clean them maybe twice a week after showering. Most doctors don’t recomend using Q-tips everyday. But…. this was funny… Come on! they are little fuzzy sticks, its not like they threw eggs at them. It was just a cute little joke. I thought it was funny.
March 30th, 2009 at 3:02 pm
Big deal!!!!! It’s funny, get over it. But yeah, his ear looks really weird…….
March 30th, 2009 at 3:29 pm
But what about his smegma? What shall we throw at him when his smegma becomes the issue?
March 30th, 2009 at 3:32 pm
Ok yea, earwax=gross, but the qtip throwing was kind of cruel and unnecesary and immature. I mean I know it’s not that big of a deal but it probably wasn’t really all that fun for Zac and vanessa.
March 30th, 2009 at 3:35 pm
leave him alone that so mean! And its not funny
March 30th, 2009 at 4:10 pm
that’s mean. ear wax is gross. he’s human. he’s still beautiful. let’s move on.
March 30th, 2009 at 4:24 pm
One of the funniest things I’ve seen in ages. If I were him I’d be laughing about it. He has a great sense of humor, check him out on the Graham Norton show (UK) which he just did recently, he can take a joke. Thanks for this Trent, it made my day!
March 30th, 2009 at 4:28 pm
Just seen the vid, “Argh my shoe, I’ve lost my shoe!” That’s the meanest thing that’s happened here.
March 30th, 2009 at 4:28 pm
Earwax builds up very quickly and if you stuck a camera in most people’s eardrums, you wouldn’t find clean whistles. When he shows up places looking like a dog who got run over by a dirty Swiffer WetJet *cough*Pattinson*cough*, then we’ll talk.
March 30th, 2009 at 5:13 pm
Granted, this is not the nicest thing the paps have ever done, but they did it to get a rise out of Zac and his friends; which they did not succeed in doing. Besides, there’s pictures of he and Vanessa in the car afterward laughing it off. They don’t take themselves seriously; something like this just rolls off their backs.
March 30th, 2009 at 5:23 pm
I did not need to see that – just as I didn’t need to see a pic of Keanu Reeves vomiting out of his car door (on a freeway) … I haven’t been able to look at him the same since! (Not his fault – the papparazzi)
March 30th, 2009 at 5:49 pm
it’s true…you’re not supposed to use q-tips for your ears. it packs in more ear wax…an oil substance is better :)
March 30th, 2009 at 5:57 pm
thats freaking funny!!!
but grose at the same time……..
lol (:
March 30th, 2009 at 7:19 pm
That is too funny… I gotta say! I do think it is a bit odd though that some pap zoomed in close enough to even see the ear wax in his ear… WHO DOES THAT?! People with ear fetishes that’s who… I’m just saying… Still though I think the Q-Tip thing was a bit much for that photo… Poor guy, I’m sure he’ll get over it though…
March 30th, 2009 at 7:27 pm
i find it mean and bully-ish (is that even a word?).
i just think if you caught a glimpse of someone with waxy ears, would you throw Q-tips at him? Probably not. i dunno, i saw this clip and eventhough the guys got cash, i feel bad for him.
oh and Trent, its bad for you to clean your ears everyday with Q-tips!!! talk to your doc, he’ll tell you the same :)
March 30th, 2009 at 7:49 pm
I get that he’s “fair game” when he’s out and about but this is pretty fucked up! You can take pictures all you want, scream if you want to, but I draw the line at throwing things! Poor Zanessa!
March 30th, 2009 at 8:25 pm
haha the paps were saying “MAGANDA KA” to vanessa! haha soo cute.. hope she understands that though.
March 30th, 2009 at 8:58 pm
i think the weirder thing here is his oddly misshapen ear…hm. i was really confused by it at first.
March 30th, 2009 at 11:01 pm
That picture made me dry heave for real. Disgusting.
March 31st, 2009 at 12:16 am
Yeah.. the bigger issue here is what’s going on with his ear?
March 31st, 2009 at 2:35 pm
WHY!!!!!!! he iz so hot & he just killed it!!!!!
WWWWWWWWWWHHHHHHHYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!
March 31st, 2009 at 3:35 pm
@TRENT- maybe he should hire a “Hygiene Assistant” ? hehe
I think I’m more grossed out by j mayer sniffin the mankini…. I’m just hoping this isn’t like a normal thing for Zac.
April 10th, 2009 at 9:25 pm
eww… clean your ears before you go out in public. its so grosssssssssssssssssssssss…… You are a celebrity. so being clean goes first before looking good and smelling good. vanessa might not go out with you anymore
April 20th, 2009 at 10:36 pm
Personally, I think that the loser paparazzi who threw Q-Tips at them needs to shove those Q-Tips up his ass. I’m not a crazy fan of Zac, but this is absolutely ridiculous. Earwax? EARWAX?! Really, now?! There are much better things to be talking about than Zac Efron’s earwax. God, that was extremely disrespectful. No one deserves that bs, not even celebrities who may or may not clean their ears often. Contrary to popular belief, they’re people too.
