Okay now before you freak out, let me just tell you that Zac wasn't hurt, his abs are still in one piece and looking as chiseled as ever. Phheeewww!

But seriously, a grizzly bear literally had the nerve to try and attack the perfection that is Zac Efron.

In an interview with People, the actor and resident hottie revealed that the terrifying ordeal happened while he was on a recent trip with his younger brother Dylan in Montana.

The pair had been in the area shooting a Columbia Sportswear advertising campaign and had just climbed to the top of the Continental Divide when they spotted the creature.

"Out of nowhere, [we were like] 'Okay, that's a bear. Everybody stop.' And we all stood still," Efron revealed.

"Somebody silently whispered, 'But it's charging at us.' It took like two big canters at us."

Now obviously this bear must've been a fan of high school musical and realised that Zac was a friend, not food because the bear eventually retreated and "disappeared behind some trees".

"It was the scariest part of the trip!" Zac said.

"But it was cool to see a bear that close. It was maybe 15 or 20 feet away. It was charging at us!"

So luckily all involved escaped without injury and Zac's God-like beauty lives on to see another day.

And to celebrate, we're going to spend the next hour or so stalking his instagram...go on, you know you want to too!
