Zac Efron saved his bodyguard’s life

By Tribute News on March 28, 2014 | 2 Comments


Zac Efron Zac Efron's bodyguard claims the actor saved his life. The 26-year-old star was hit in the face after getting into a ''full-blown'' bust-up in a ''very bad area'' of downtown Los Angeles shortly after midnight on Sunday, but his bodyguard insists the High School Musical star only stepped into the brawl to defend him. The security man, who asked to remain anonymous, told TMZ.com he and Zac were ''cruising'' around L.A. on their way to a restaurant when they ran out of gas and were ''attacked'' by three men. He claims the transients went after him with ''a spear'' and that Zac got out of the car and began swinging a vodka bottle to fend off the attack and saved his life.

The star previously told police officers they had run out of gas and were sitting in their car waiting for a tow truck when he threw a bottle out of the window and it smashed on the pavement near their alleged attackers. He said the three men confronted them because they believed the bottle had been deliberately thrown at them. But his bodyguard, who reportedly has a criminal record for drugs and violence, insists the actor didn't throw the bottle at all and merely used it to defend them.
