Nicole Kidman and Zac Efron’s new movie clip sparks debate – “All I see is botox”
|Fans are buzzing with anticipation for the release of “A Family Affair,” a new comedy film starring Nicole Kidman and Zac Efron in the lead roles. The movie has been generating a lot of discussion thanks to its active social media promotion.
According to reports, the film follows a young woman who works as an assistant to a womanizing film star named Chris Cole (played by Efron). After quitting her job, she discovers that Cole is having an affair with her widowed mother (played by Kidman).
In the modern age, using social media as a key marketing tool for upcoming films is standard practice, providing fans with teasers and clips to build excitement ahead of the release. “A Family Affair” is no exception, but some of its promotional content has caught attention for an unusual reason.
Specifically, Zac Efron appears noticeably different from his usual self.
Now, it’s not uncommon for actors to look different from their off-screen personas due to the demands of their roles. That’s a fundamental aspect of acting. However, the discussions among fans aren’t about dramatic costumes or makeup effects. Efron isn’t sporting an extravagant costume, an elaborate wig, or a significant body transformation.
In fact, the trailer of the movie elicited mixed reactions, partly due to the intimate scenes featuring Efron and Kidman.
Unsurprisingly, the age difference between the two stars sparked a lot of commentary. For context, Efron is 36 years old, while Kidman is 57, making her 21 years his senior.
One Instagram user commented, “Isn’t he young enough to be her son?”
Another person wrote, “I just cannot get into Nicole Kidman and Zac hooking up in this movie.”
A third remarked, “Weird couple!!! I can’t imagine there is any chemistry! Lol.”
But it wasn’t just the age gap that caught people’s attention. Many social media users were surprised by the noticeable changes in Efron’s appearance.
Efron, who rose to fame with “High School Musical,” has long been known as the charming boy-next-door. Over the years, he has successfully taken on a variety of challenging roles, cementing his status as a versatile actor. However, while it’s natural for people’s looks to evolve over time, fans are suggesting that Efron’s changing appearance might be due to other reasons.
One person commented on the trailer, saying, “All I see is Botox, hyaluronic acid, and faces barely giving expressions.”
Another noted, “Zac’s face doesn’t move, it’s perfectly paired with Nicole’s face.”
A third person stated, “He really messed up his face.”
A fourth simply referred to it as “The Botox movie.”
