Zac & Dylan Efron: From Rivals to Brothers

The relationship between brothers Zac and Dylan Efron has evolved significantly from childhood rivalry to deep adult camaraderie. Growing up, their age difference often led to frequent arguments, as Dylan recalled them being "super combative." However, after Dylan graduated college and moved to Los Angeles for his first job, Zac welcomed him to live together, a pivotal moment that strengthened their bond.

This formative experience inspired Dylan to be a supportive figure for his own younger siblings, Olivia and Henry, mirroring the positive older brother role Zac played for him. Dylan has expressed his joy in working alongside Zac, particularly on Zac's Netflix series, "Down to Earth," highlighting the comfort of family collaboration while also valuing their separate endeavors.

Dylan Efron also shared his perspective on being known as "Zac's little brother," stating in February 2025 that he is proud of his brother and that the association has been beneficial for his career. His recent appearance on "Dancing With the Stars" in 2025, where he performed a song previously sung by Zac, underscored their mutual support and Dylan's deep admiration for his older sibling.
