Dylan Efron, Zac Efron
PEACOCK; Amanda Edwards/WireImageThings got heated when Traitors contestants came for Dylan Efronbrother Zac Efron — and his acting skills.
During the latest episode, which premiered on Thursday, January 16, Dylan, 32, spoke out Bob the Drag Queen on round table banishment meeting.
“I honestly think he is a traitor. Like an easier game for a traitor? I would play a very quiet game because I can’t be noisy,” he said. “What would Bob do? Bob is an amazing actor.”
Dylan used his experience with Zac, 35, adding: “I grew up with the actor.” Without interrupting, Bob, 39, replied, “Not good.”
The rest of the cast was not thrilled with Bob’s dig at Zac. “That wasn’t nice,” Dolores Catania remarked before adding later in the episode, “Good job Dylan. And listen, your brother is a good actor.”
Zac, 37, has been a big topic of conversation on the competition show despite not appearing yet. He previously rose to stardom after landing numerous TV and film roles, including 2006 High school musicalwhile Dylan spent more time behind the scenes working as a producer and stuntman on various projects.
“I was behind the camera. But being able to not stay behind the scenes was a really nice change,” Dylan exclusively said Us Weekly in September 2023 about his plans to try something new. “So I think as long as I can wear all those hats and still create the stories I want to tell (that would be great). Being able to experience it first hand is really nice. It’s a good mix of both worlds.”
Dylan then admitted that he he could not be seen working to a script project.
Zac Efron has enjoyed many adventures with his family over the years — and luckily, he’s documented the special bonding moments. Efron – who is the older brother of Dylan, Olivia and Henry – recalled how his siblings and parents have supported him throughout his career. “My family is my rock. I know they are not (…)
“What Zac does, I could never do. I play myself in front of the camera while Zac plays the characters. They are two different skill sets,” he added. “He can play different characters and I can only play myself.”
After working on Netflix documentary series Down to earth with ZacDylan praised his older brother setting a good example on set.

Euan Cherry/Peacock“I like doing things with my brother. It’s really comforting to be with family (and) do these things. It will always be high in what I love to do. But I think it’s good that we do things separately,” he continued. “Because I remember a long time ago, we wanted to do a show together and I really wouldn’t be up for it. He’s been in front of the cameras all his life and it’s second nature to him. I was a little shy kid, so I had to grow into that.”
Dylan said he would be thrilled work with Zac on the project again in the future. “Now will be the right time,” he said. “We are still thinking (about what to do). We are in the process of thinking. We really just want to step back and see what stories we want to tell, how we can do it and enjoy it. We want to continue raising the bar.”
Zac Efron’s brother Dylan Efron already made a big impression on The Traitors — but what else do you need to know about the Season 3 contestant? The Traitors, which premiered in January 2025, brought together reality TV stars from various franchises as they competed in a mob-style game for up to $250,000. Despite what it seemed (…)
Before Dylan became a breakout star Traitors season 3, Zac subtly showed support for his brother’s latest venture.
“I think Dylan will win,” Zac said AND! News in June 2024. “I hope he does, because he’s so good at games. He always was, ever since we were kids. He is like a master of the game. … If anyone can do it, it’s him. I’m rooting for him.”
New episodes Traitors will be published on Peacock Thursdays until March 6.
