Zac Efron Shows Up to Support Dylan Efron on ‘Dancing with the Stars’

Zac Efron made a surprise appearance in the Dancing with the Stars ballroom on Tuesday night, cheering on his brother Dylan Efron during the show’s semi-final episode. Fans had been speculating all season about when the High School Musical star might attend, and seeing him in the crowd thrilled viewers.

Cameras captured Zac’s candid reaction as Dylan and his professional partner Daniela Carag earned a score of 27 out of 30, sparking online chatter about Zac’s support and whether he had been tuning in each week.

In a post-show interview with Access Hollywood, Dylan said seeing his brother in the audience “means everything” to him. “I like looking over and seeing my full family, my girlfriend… and it’s Daniela. It’s all my support. I love it,” Dylan shared.

The Efron family had even more reason to celebrate when Dylan and Daniela were announced as finalists, earning a spot to compete for the Mirrorball Trophy next week. Dylan recalled his initial reaction: “I was shocked. I heard my name and wasn’t expecting it. Like, are we safe or what? It took a few seconds to process.”

Fans are now eagerly anticipating the finale, excited to see Dylan compete with the strong support of his family—and the encouragement of his famous older brother.
