It’s been a couple of years sinceBaywatchhit theaters, butZac Efron‘s still got the abs as a souvenir.
The first, whichEllen DeGeneresshowed on the screen, was of a younger Efron — perhaps during hisHigh School Musicaldays, with a shaggier haircut — and, admittedly, didn’t quite capture his likeness.
“I didn’t like it,” the actor said, hugging DeGeneres when she showed an image of her own questionable wax figure to make her guest “feel better” about his.

But the new figure is a different story — and DeGeneres, 61, brought it to set just to show Efron how striking the resemblance was, capturing the actor in all his shirtless Baywatch glory, complete with bicep tattoo and armpit hair.
“Whoa … wow. Weird,” Efron said after examining it up close, walking away and back again in shock. “Whoever did this, I’m very impressed and scared.”
“Look at the vein right there, look at that,” DeGeneres said, pointing out therealistic detail on the figure.
“That’s real,” replied Efron, pulling up his own shirt to the audible delight of the crowd before showing off his own bicep in relation to his wax figure’s. “They did a good job.”

Efron ended the segment with a PSAabout healthy body expectations, though, revealing that his workout regimen for the film was extremely specialized and opining that it wasn’t something to aspire to in everyday life.
“It’s a little bigger than me. That’s too big. … For guys, that’s unrealistic, I’m telling you,” saidThe Greatest Showmanstar. “I got very big and buff for that movie, but I don’t want people to think that’s the best way to be.”
“Be your size. I don’t want to glamorize this,” Efron added of the figure before he and DeGeneres pulled up his real shirt once again and the host joked of his still-impressive midsection, “But this is so easy!”
