OHMYGOSSIP — Zak Efron‘s problems began when he fell in with a group of people who like party. It was recently revealed that the actor had checked into rehab earlier this year.
“He surrounds himself with a group that enjoys partying,” a source told People magazine. “He got caught up in the partying lifestyle the past few years.
