The topic of Netflix content was actually recently talked about amongst film/tv crew.

It's pretty standard procedure for a lot of corporate industries tbh.

Not only that, you also get soooo much exposure to all sides of the business and end up becoming a mini COO in your own way if you play your cards right.

A lot of them are more involved and take on outside projects while also juggling the above. Just like how project management changes across industries, so do assisting across industries and even within companies.

I did not know about the jaw surgery because of something something but when I saw him I was literally like wtf happened to this guy???! he looks like a buffed up bully type trope guy now. and no your face structure does not change that drastically as you age. with lip fillers and buff jaw like the handsome squidward meme.

[@ivettgamarra]

I was going to say this was written by a Nepo baby like Zara's character (and it might be true still), but I saw that it was written by... a production assistant, Carrie Solomon. So, I think this is a fanfic about herself 🫢 and she got to put all these famous actors in her fantasy movie.

[@tkps]

But why did the actors agree unless they were paid big bucks? As a non US Netflix sub who doesn't watch US content, Netflix has 3 times world subs as US/Canadian combined and I'm beginning to think I'm subsidising HW content over the content I do watch and I'm not happy about it. It's no wonder they hide the real view figures so we won't find out.

[@ccfreakMetal]

Damn, Zack got old , and probably older after the plastic shit 😂

[@jaketheripper7385]

Zac Efron hasn't ever had any plastic surgery, at least not the kind you're likely referring to or any type of *elective* procedures. He did have to have some reconstructive plastic surgery to repair a badly broken jaw after sustaining an injury at his home. He had to have his jaw wired shut for some time and undergo a bunch of physical therapy and such after the procedure. Efron has admitted that he slacked off on the PT/OT quite a bit due to his schedule at the time (which also involved production for this film) which unfortunately led to the injury healing improperly without the guidance of consistent PT/OT, resulting in excess swelling/inflammation and accumulation of scar tissue. Ultimately this caused the affected musculoskeletal structures to compensate on their own leading to the misalignment and the odd appearance of his facial structure. It should also be pointed out that "the camera" tends to add about 5 to 10 years to one's appearance in general. Furthermore this piece in particular was rather abysmal from a technical perspective, being so horrendously shot and composed, very poorly lit throughout, and absolutely heinous from a makeup perspective. All actors have to endure a sit in the makeup chair regardless just to make them appear "normal" onscreen. Whoever was responsible for the makeup for this production was either really green or just downright incompetent, if not both. Just seems to further illustrate the Netflix pattern of cutting corners and rushing productions in order to churn out new shit content seemingly entirely for its own sake... At any rate these factors certainly play a role in making Zac appear a bit more aged than he actually is. Plus I mean there's something to be said about a life in the limelight and the stresses that accompany such a lifestyle... The psychological and physiological stressors of that existence tend to cause celebrities to begin showing their age far sooner and more dramatically than the everyday average schmuck.

This movie is in the category of “movies about women who apparently think ‘being a woman’ synonymous with ‘sleeping with someone who could be your son who has a previous relationship with or to your daughter’” which I think is a genre we need to end immediately.

In all fairness to Zac Efron, his jaw is extremely asymmetrical on the left side of his face after the incident, The right side is pretty normal. Kinda adds more credibility to the whole jaw injury thing since it was supposed to be dislocated and hanging from only one side.
