Does Zac Efron Have Four Nipples?

The strange saga of Zac Efron’s extra nipples begins in my email inbox, where an email from a publicist landed this afternoon. Dermatologist Dr Sandra Lee wants the world to know that Zac Efron has a third – and possible fourth – nipple. Her publicist included a photo with an arrow pointing to a Wahlbergian speck on Efron’s chest. How have we never noticed this before?

Supernumerary nipples are generally aligned along “mammary lines.” (Think of a female dog.) And so, when a man like Zac Efron has nipple-hued specks located symmetrically along his mammary lines, there is a strong possibility that they are “superfluous” nipples. As if male nipples weren’t superfluous enough already.

But are Efron’s chest specks really nipples? They could also dimples between his muscles. In Buzzfeed’s “25 Best Pictures of Zac Efron Shirtless” gallery, the maybe-nipples are visible in images 2, 6, 7, 10, 24, and 25. But where are they in images 1, 11, and 23? Shouldn’t maybe-nipples be consistent than that? Is Zac Efron a multi-nippled changeling?

A brief Google search reveals that, though superfluous nipple bloggers (yes, they exist!) have speculated about Efron’s nipples, the chatter has not broken into the mainstream. Until now! Thank you, Dr. Sandra Lee of Upland, California and PR spammer Katherine Rothman, for alerting us to this egregious blind spot in modern discourse.
