It turns out Zac Efron has a 29-year-old little brother called Dylan Efron (yeah, who knew?) and apparently he was important enough to be let into the country despite the massive border restrictions.
Dylan is here because he’s a producer for the Netflix show starring his big brother, Down to Earth with Zac Efron.
He’s now in hotel quarantine just like everyone else who enters Australia, but noticeably unlike the 40,000 or so Aussies who’re still stranded overseas.
Still, at least he’s not throwing a huge tantrum about it like the tennis players at the Australian open did.
“The hotel is way better than I expected. I was expecting like a Best Western, this is like a cool city apartment,” Dylan said in an Instagram story.
And hey, at least he can wake up for 14 mornings with a pretty schmick view of Sydney’s Darling Harbour.
So far he’s been documenting his time cooped up, and apparently that’s involved him receiving copious amounts of milk for reasons even he can’t understand.
If the milk is a highlight, that’s a clear sign that the rest of the stay has been fairly uneventful so far.
“I’d say the most exciting part of the day is they drop off three meals, you just get a knock at your door and there’s bags of mystery food,” Dylan said.
7News reports that a couple of randoms online have questioned how essential Dylan is when so many Aussie citizens haven’t been able to come home yet.
While that may be true, Dylan is apparently almost as essential to the filming process as his older brother is.
Speaking of Zac, the HSM star appears to have settled down pretty comfortably after zipping between Sydney, Byron, Adelaide and who-know-where-else.
Maybe the arrival of Dylan means we’re getting another honorary Aussie from the Efron family.
