Fans are eagerly waiting for the release of A Family Affair, a new comedy featuring Nicole Kidman and Zac Efron in the leading roles. The movie has stirred considerable discussion on social media due to its intriguing promotional clips.
Reports suggest that the film centers around a young woman who works as an assistant to Chris Cole (played by Efron), a popular yet womanizing film star. After she resigns from her job, she discovers that Cole is romantically involved with her widowed mother (played by Kidman).
These days, it’s common for films to leverage social media for marketing, offering fans sneak peeks through trailers and clips. A Family Affair is no exception, though some of its promotional content has sparked debate for a peculiar reason.
Specifically, many believe that Zac Efron looks quite different from usual.
Granted, actors often transform their looks for roles. However, Efron’s changes in this film appear minimal—no elaborate costumes or dramatic makeup changes.
The movie’s trailer has seen a mixed reception, significantly due to the passionate scenes between Efron and Kidman.
Unsurprisingly, the age difference between the two stars quickly became a topic of conversation. Efron is 36, while Kidman is 57, making her 21 years his senior.
One Instagram user remarked, “Isn’t he young enough to be her son?”
Another added, “I just cannot get into Nicole Kidman and Zac hooking up in this movie.”
Someone else wrote, “Weird couple!!! I can’t imagine there is any chemistry! Lol.”
Beyond the age gap, many fans are focused on Efron’s facial appearance.
Efron first gained fame as the charming star of High School Musical. Over time, he has taken on diverse roles, earning recognition as a versatile actor.
Yet, as one ages, changes in appearance are natural. But fans suggest that Efron’s changing looks might be due to other factors.
One viewer commented, “All I see is Botox, hyaluronic acid, and faces barely giving expressions.”
Another added, “Zac’s face doesn’t move; it’s perfectly paired with Nicole’s face.”
“He really messed up his face,” noted another.
A fourth simply dubbed it “The Botox movie.”
