Lily James reveals she was ‘distracted’ by Hollywood hunk after unrecognisable body transformation for new film
LILY James has admitted she was left seriously distracted by a co-star’s incredible body transformation.
The Pam & Tommy actress explained that she struggled to concentrate around Zac Efron on the set of their new film.
Zac, 35, plays Sixties wrestler Kevin Von Erich in Iron Claw.
Last year, fans were left in shock after spotting the star looking unrecognisable behind-the-scenes of the movie.
He was transformed with huge muscles, a perfect six-pack and a bowl haircut for the role in the 2023 movie.
Now, Lily, 33, who plays Pam Adkinson, has revealed that her co-star bulked up so much she struggled to concentrate.
She said: “[He had] a great bowl cut, but he was also incredibly muscly which was slightly more distracting.”
Gushing over her co-star, Lily added: “But what was more incredible is his performance, he has really transformed.”
The Iron Claw will track the tragic history of the Von Erich family dynasty, and how they’ve shaped modern day wrestling from the work they started in the 1960s.
Kevin was the only surviving member of the six sons born to Fritz Von Erich, a highly influential wrestler and wrestling promotor.
Zac and Lily are due to be joined on screen by Jeremy Allen White, Maura Tierney and Harris Dickenson.
It comes after Zac was photographed looking completely different as he walked round on set in just a towel.
Looking a million miles away from the floppy-haired teen heartthrob we met in his High School Musical days, Zac showed off his eye-popping muscles.
In 2013, Zac had to get emergency surgery after a fall at his own home resulted in his jaw being wired shut.
As a result, some fans speculated he may have had facial surgery, something he has brushed off in interviews.
“My mom told me. I never really read the internet, so, I don’t really care,” he told Entertainment Tonight.
“It was funny,” he added of the comments about his looks. “It sucks. I almost died, but we’re good.”
