When Kaitlyn Bristowe spotted Zac Efron at a taping for Dancing with the Stars, she lost her cool. His brother, Dylan Efron, is currently competing on DWTS Season 34.
Kaitlyn is no stranger to this series. She won Season 29, and she also returned to this season’s 20th Anniversary Special. But when she later spotted Zac in the audience, rooting for his brother, her mind turned into mush. And as she relatably realizes, she probably made a fool out of herself.
Zac Efron finally showed up to support brother Dylan at Dancing with the Stars
During a recent episode of the Dancing With the Stars Official Podcast, Kaitlyn joked, “I’m not gonna talk about the fact that I was probably making Zac Efron uncomfortable.” Her seat was “directly across” from his in the ballroom. But since “He’s my teenage heartthrob,” his nearby presence made her feelings flutter times five.
Another former Mirrorball Trophy winner, Joey Graziadei, was also happy to see Zac “finally” showing up in support of his brother. “Zac’s gotta be one of the biggest stars we’ve had in the ballroom, for sure,” he said, adding, “I’m sure he’s wanted to [be there] the entire time.” Or maybe, “there was a version of him that wanted to wait because he wanted [Dylan] to have his experience,” Joey hypothesized.
Kaitlyn agreed. “I know how close they are because I’m a creep and follow them,” she confessed. However, “Dylan probably feels like he lives in that shadow, and this is his moment. So Zac was probably being the hottest, sweetest guy ever and saying, ‘This is your moment,’” Kaitlyn noted.
As for Dylan, he loved having Zac in the ballroom. His attendance “meant everything” to Dylan. “I grew up watching him do stuff like this,” Dylan explained. “So, the fact that he’s now watching me do this is crazy to me.”
Dancing with the Stars airs on Tuesdays at 8 p.m. on ABC and Disney+. It streams on Hulu the next day.
