Zac Efron kept plenty cool on Memorial Day.

The 31-year-old actor immersed himself in a freezing cold bath, presumably after a workout, on the American holiday Monday.

In a series of clips on Instagram Stories, the San Luis Obispo, California native was seen exiting a heated sauna and heading straight toward a waiting tin bath full of cold water.

Efron, who recently played Ted Bundy in the Netflix film Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil And Vile, panted a bit amid the extremes, which he illustrated with a flame emoji and a frosty emoji next to one another.
