The terrifyingly huge head of Zac Efron

Zachary David Alexander “Zac” Efron is an American actor and singer. He is currently one of the hottest young talents in Hollywood, despite having the most alarmingly enormous head imaginable. Check out the April 2009 cover of GQ magazine. (CAUTION: HUGE HEAD)

I am not generally one to call attention to the physical abnormalities of another person, but seriously: what the hell? How can that poor kid even stand up, let alone sing and dance as his Wikipedia article claims? He looks like a human PEZ dispenser. And then his hair stylist goes and gives his head even more volume. That’s just cruel.

(I suppose the rest of his body could be abnormally tiny instead. I’m honestly not sure which would be worse.)

There is seemingly no mention of this ailment in his biography, so is this an April Fool prank of some kind? Does GQ always use the Goofy Lens to photograph the person on the cover of the April issue? I sure hope so.

Cry yerself ta sleep on yer giant pilla!

Why do you assume he has a huge head? What if it’s his body that is small?

Spherical, yet quite pointy in parts!

Jesus. It looks like that’s through a fisheye lens or something. Strange perspective.

He probably had his picture taken by the same photographer that did a Time cover of Anne Coulter - with elasti-girl length legs.

Huge head?

Sometimes, fame does that to you.

There is a lot of hair on that head (and it also appears to be coming to life), but I don’t really see anything in terms of unusual head size- at least compared to say, Mr. Met.

You know, that looks kind of like it’s been photoshopped or taken with a weird lens or something. He was on SNL the other night and didn’t look so freakish. He looks normal enough here.

I never got that far up in looking at ZacEfron. Is it always that big?

I’m gonna go with “April Fool”. Let’s try to check the next issue and see if this subject comes up in their “letters” section.

Q

What the heck is with his hair? Emulating Blagojevich? Male equivalent to helmet-headed women? Squirrel on his head?

He’s got biggish movie star head as many stars do, but nothing weird. That pic is distorted somehow. Possibly the angle of the body.

Better on his head than where his co-star has them.

Just a weird lens, I’d say. I saw him in Hairspray and a bit of High School Musical 2, and his head wasn’t outsize.

Only if you stroke it a little.

Man, what a hack this guy is. Pathetic. He wishes he was one-tenth as awesome as John David Carson was.

Bobblehead syndrome seems to be a pretty common affliction of the famous and their Photoshop handlers.

It’s not as big as Sean Penn’s head.

I sent a link off to my current favorite blog, Photoshop Disasters. I hope to see it there soon.

My guess is they took the head from another picture, never resized it, and just never took a good, long look at it when they were done.

It happens a lot, just look at the length of the neck on the poor woman in this poster.
