Zac Efron and brother Dylan share their shirtless bungee jump (screen captures)The idea of bungee jumping has always seemed like both a supreme adrenaline rush and scary AF at the same time.
But what if taking that ride meant being in the middle of an Efron brothers sandwich?
Where do I sign up?
Zac Efron and equally hunky bro Dylan, currently down under in Australia, shared a couple of GoPro videos capturing their shirtless duo BJ (bungee jump) for Brothers Day, and its definitely worth the watching.
You may ask, “Why are they shirtless?” Answer: who cares?
As actress Jessica Alba says in the comments, “So many abs – so little time…”
After taking time off from Instagram for a couple of months, Zac Efron had his followers gagging thanks to a thirst trap he posted over the weekend.
The body-conscious actor is currently in Australia with his brother Dylan shooting the second season of his Netflix series Down to Earth with Zac Efron.
The show follows Zac traveling around the world exploring healthy sustainable ways to live.
And speaking of healthy and sustainable, the hunky 33-year-old shared pics taken during a workout featuring Bombas socks which donates a pair to charity for every pair purchased. (By the way, Bombas socks are the only socks I wear – they’re awesome).
But, as journalists like to say, it looks like he ‘buried the lede.’
The first photo is nice and all – form, flexibility, yeahyeahyeah…
But some folks didn’t notice to swipe to the next pic which features Efron’s pretty awesome abs.
(image via Instagram)A couple of weeks ago, Efron shared a video clip of him getting ‘up close and personal’ swimming with the dolphins. And the Efron bod was truly pumped.
Efron famously beefed up a few years ago for his role in the 2017 big screen version of Baywatch, but later told PEOPLE that in hindsight he felt the amount of working out and nutritional limits to get there were not “a healthy or normal way to live everyday life.” Since that time, he’s brought his fitness goals a little more down to earth.
And speaking of ‘down to earth,’ the film and TV star has also recently posted pics from Oz with an adorable baby kangaroo, driving a huge tractor and taking part in what looks like an Indigenous ceremony.
During his time Down Under, Zac also filmed the survivor thriller Gold in Australia to help him maintain his work visa there from its original 3 month limit to 12 months.
Zac Efron (screen capture via Netflix)Netflix has a hit on its hands with the new series Down to Earth with a bearded and buff Zac Efron.
The travelogue follows Efron as he hip-hops around a pre-COVID-19 world exploring climate-friendly, sustainable living habits.
“In this travel show, actor Zac Efron journeys around the world with wellness expert Darin Olien in search of healthy, sustainable ways to live,” Netflix writes of the new show.
From eating bread baked in a volcano in Iceland, to experiencing the rarest water in the world, our host shares his furry goodness adventures from around the world and much more.
Here’s the trailer. I think you’ll get my drift in just a minute.
Let’s just say the Twitterverse took note 🙂

Who knew Zac Efron’s younger brother is just as buff and hot as his he is?
In an Instagram post, The Greatest Showman star celebrated the birthday of his younger bro, Dylan Efron, turning 27 as they caroused under a streaming waterfall.
The gallery of pics was accompanied by the caption, “Happy birthday @dylanefron! Honestly, I never in my wildest dreams, would’ve thought that the little terror, devil, monster that was my little brother would turn into my very best friend.”
“I’m so proud of the man you are today,” continued the elder Efron. “Let’s save the world together – one waterfall at a time. Love ya little brother!”
Unlike his brother, Dylan works behind the scenes as a filmmaker and writer. And he’s also worked on films like A Star Is Born, CHIPS and Unforgettable as an assistant to producer Ravi Mehta.
Zac has acknowledged in the past that Dylan has a more ‘grounded’ perspective on life having not grown up with the pressures of the public spotlight, which is why he checks in with his younger brother when he needs advice.
In a 2017 Q&A with Cosmopolitan, Zac shared, “If I’m dating someone, one of the few people I need to weigh in on the situation is my brother.”
“We live together, and we’re different in a lot of ways, but he’s really grounded,” added the former High School Musical star. “He lived a more normal life than I did growing up, so he’s a great barometer for me. He’ll be like, ‘Are you sure you’re happy? Is this what you really want?’ Having my little brother around is a really great thing.”
Perusing Dylan’s Instagram, it’s clear the outdoor enthusiast has the hottie Efron gene – the eyes, the abs, that square jawline.
Happy birthday, Dylan Efron!

One thing the interwebs has revealed to us over the years is the almost universal thirst folks can have for discovering celebrity nudes on the internet.
Oh yes, we’re all human when it comes to checking out what our favorite stars’ might have to offer.
And the celebs themselves have the thirst as well.
This weekend woofy out Olympian Gus Kenworthy posted a series of pics to his Instagram showing him deep in thought high above the city of Interlaken, Switzerland.
“Me in the cloud searching for @zacefron’s nudes like…” was the caption accompanied by an inquisitive emoji and a smart phone and cloud.
Yes, kids, the thirst is real.
The post (which was Gus’s 1,000th Instagram post, btw) has garnered almost 80,000 likes in a day.
Besides tons of warnings for Gus to get down from the edge of the railing he was sitting on, most fans pleaded with him to share anything he might find.
“Did you find any? Asking for a friend”
“When you find them, forward my way – I won’t tell”
As well as the to-be-expected requests for his own nude pics:
“Plot twist – release your own”
“Are there any of your own up there?”
“I was just searching for yours…”
Gus has posted high-flying pics before when showing off his travels. You’ve got to love a daredevil:
In addition to the death defying photos, Kenworthy has also shared his obsession over Zac Efron with his social media followers for some time now.
Earlier this year, after reading a news item where a man claimed a prescription drug turned him gay, the freestyle skier tweeted, “*overnights lyrics to @zacefron*.”
*overnights lyrica to @zacefron* https://t.co/Sa9bKh0BqA— Gus Kenworthy (@guskenworthy) April 17, 2018
And back in June 2017, after reading a report on Efron describing his first time kissing a guy, Gus offered to “volunteer as a tribute.”
I volunteer as tribute. https://t.co/IEshO1XWKj— Gus Kenworthy (@guskenworthy) June 3, 2017
Clearly, Gus has great taste when it comes to celeb crushes.
Is there anyone out there you’ve spent time searching for in the ‘all-together?’
