He's had a tough year, allegedly secretly checking into rehab twice this year and having his jaw wired shut after slipping in a puddle of water, so Zac Efron deserves a little fun.

The High School Musical star appears to have gotten back on track and enjoyed a trip to Indiana on Sunday for the Colts football team's 25-3 win over Houston and shared a picture of himself with owner and CEO Jim Irsay.

And his jaw has clearly healed as the hunky 26-year-old actor sported a huge grin in the WhoSay snap which he posted on his Instagram page.

He wrote: 'Thank you Jim for a truly memorable trip to Indie - congrats on the win, @Colts! – Z (sic).'

Zac, who was born in California and doesn't appear to have any links to Indiana, also paid a visit to the locker room to congratulate the team and posed for pictures with fans, who happily tweeted about it.

It was first revealed back in September that Zac had secretly checked into rehab twice this year.
Sources told People that after he ascended to A-List status following the second High School Musical movie, he got in with a dangerous Hollywood crowd.

He allegedly used cocaine and experimented with MDMA, which is the active ingredient in ecstasy tablets and known as 'Molly' on the street.

His reliance on escapism is thought to have worsened when he failed to match his success in High School Musical with his post Disney escapades.

Efron was alleged to have beaten his demons - even avoiding alcohol - after a second visit to a clinic, which was prompted by a relapse while shooting Seth Rogen comedy, Neighbours.

Then it was reported last month that Zac had tripped outside his sprawling Hollywood Hills home, with a source telling E! News: 'Efron slipped at the entrance of his L.A.-area home on Sunday in a puddle of water he didn't see.'

And in addition to wiring his jaw shut, the former High School Musical star suffered from a gash so big he had to get stitches.
