Zac Efron's brother Dylan insists he has a sporty 'edge' on famous sibling
Published in Entertainment News
Dylan Efron thinks he has "an edge" on brother Zac in the sports world.
The 34-year-old star has opened up on the differences between him and his famous sibling, and he insisted while the Ricky Stanicky actor, 38, is "more of a gym guy", Dylan can outdo him in friendly competitions.
He told WWD: "Zac's definitely more of a gym guy. I've always been a little taller and leaner, and Zac can out gym, outlive me in pretty much every category, I'd say.
"But let's play some sports and I have an edge."
Zac, known for his roles in the likes of High School Musical, The Greatest Showman and The Iron Claw, gravitated towards theatre.
However, Dylan took a different route and saw himself on a field of some kind.
He explained: "I've always loved the cardio aspect, the training for sports. I've been able to pick up most new sports I try.
"As long as I try hard enough and give it enough time, I can pick up pretty much anything, and I was hoping that would be the case with dance as well."
Dylan came fourth in last year's Dancing With The Stars, but he played down his ballroom skills.
He quipped: "But don't get me wrong, my brother's a better dancer than me."
Meanwhile, The Traitors US winner took a page out of his brother's Baywatch playbook last year after saving two women from drowning at Miami Beach, Florida last year.
Speaking in April 2025, he told Brooke and Connor Make a Podcast: "It was really random. I showed up to the beach, it was my first time ever actually like on the beach.
"And [I] walk up to the shore for the first time ever, and I'm looking out and it was just people screaming in the water.
"So, I just saw like five girls. Like their hands were up, screaming, there's people on the shore with their hands up.
"I looked around and there were no lifeguards around and I was with my buddy Brennan and we just sprinted out there."
Dylan went on to explain that when swimming in the sea for the girls, the current was getting stronger meaning they were getting even further away from the shore.
He added: "There were two closest to us that already had a guy helping them in and then there was three out further so I swam one in and swam out for another girl.
"It was really real. The last girl I swam in I was just trying to calm her down and just saying like "breath, breath" and she just wrapped my in the biggest hug.
"We hugged for like a full minute, just like hugging this girl on shore, like 'You're safe your good,' and then just walked away.
"I'm in the water a lot so I just knew, the current was ripping we ended up like a football pitch away. The girls probably just got a bit too far away."
