He's had an incredibly difficult few months following an accident last year which lead to him having his mouth wired shut.

But as he attended the People's Choice Awards in Los Angeles on Wednesday night, Zac Efron looked happy and healthier than ever, cutting a handsome figure in a navy blue suit and white shirt.

Apart from a small scar on his chin, there was no evidence of the incident which saw the 26-year-old actor break his jaw when he fell flat on his face outside his home.

Zac has been in tremendous pain of late following the accidental injury, which resulted in the actor cancelling his upcoming promotional tour for new movie, That Awkward Moment, after being given stitches by medics and told to rest up.

 

But Zac was back on top form on Wednesday night as he and his co-stars presented an award at the annual ceremony.

Zac, Michael B. Jordan and Miles Teller all took to the stage together, cracking jokes left, right and centre as they presented the prize for Favourite Comedic Movie to Sandra Bullock and Melissa McCarthy for The Heat.

Kicking off the comedy, Zac said: 'So, the three of us know just a little bit about awkward moments. In fact, there was this one time that I texted a girl and she didn't text me back for 20 minutes.'

Miles then joked; 'What's awkward about that? Twenty minutes is an average reply time when you're talking with me.'

After collecting their award, Melissa and Sandra posed up backstage with Zac, who smiled widely for the cameras.

Zac's accident came after the former High School Musical star completed time in rehab for alleged cocaine and alcohol abuse.

The  Parkland star is thought to have entered treatment after friends expressed their concern about his 'erratic' behaviour while filming raunchy new comedy Neighbors.

But Zac now appears to be on the road to recovery, with a source saying recently: 'He's happy, healthy and not drinking.'

Can't stand Ian Somerhalder's stupid crooked smirk and squinty eyes that he always does.
