ZAC Efron is a highly successful actor who first made a name for himself through the High School Musical movie franchise.
Now, fans want to know more about the Hollywood star’s family.
Who are Zac Efron’s siblings?
Zac Efron, 36, has three siblings, including his younger brother, Dylan Efron, and his younger half-siblings, Olivia and Henry Efron.
32-year-old Dylan was born in 1992 in California and maintains a close relationship with his famous brother.
The duo often share photos on social media showing themselves spending time together.
On September 1, 2023, Zac posted pictures from a boating and golfing outing with Dylan.
In a 2021 interview with BroBile, Dylan shared that he and Zac have a better relationship than they did as kids.
“It was interesting because I was always really big for my age, and Zac was pretty small for his age. We were always fighting with each other. Since I can remember we were going at it… wrestling and punching each other, it was always combative,” he said.
“And then Zac hit puberty, so he got a little bit of a jumpstart on me. There was a year or two in there where all of a sudden he was five inches taller than me and could kick my a**.
“But I would say that we grew up super combative, just because we’re so different and he was so much older. We were just into different things,” he continued.
“And then once I graduated college, Zac really took me under his wing and let me live with him when I got my first job in Los Angeles. He really became that older brother, and that’s when I would say we grew closer than ever.
“Our relationship was something that developed more as we both became adults and stopped fighting so much.”
Per People, Dylan enjoys the outdoors traveling, and he shared this type of content on social media.
The influencer has 866,000 followers on his Instagram page, @dylanefron; over 199,000 followers on his TikTok account, @dylanefron; and more than 35,000 subscribers to his YouTube channel, @dylanefron.
He spoke about his interests with BroBible, saying “From a young age, my passions have always been fitness and being outside.”
“Not necessarily working out, but just exhausting yourself in whatever it is. That’s what we did for fun growing up. We didn’t have Six Flags or any big concerts to go to in my hometown, it was all about using what was available to us, which was the ocean or the mountains,” he continued, in part.
According to People, Dylan has also worked as a producer, lending his talents to Zac’s docuseries, Down to Earth with Zac Efron.
The brothers also created a 2019 YouTube video series, Off the Grid, which “showed them skiing and spending time in the desert, among other adventures.”
Olivia and Henry are Zac and Dylan’s much younger half-siblings from their father’s second marriage.
Both older brothers have posted about the two children on social media.
On June 29, 2023, Zac shared an image with Olivia and Henry on Instagram.
Per People, the photo was taken at Circus Vargas in their hometown of San Luis Obispo, California.
“Showtime 🤡,” The Greatest Showman star captioned the picture.
Who are Zac Efron’s parents?

The pair divorced in 2016, and David later remarried, per the outlet.
While his parents live mostly private lives, Zac has shared photos with them on social media.
On January 14, 2017, he posted an image with Starla and actor Hugh Jackman in honor of the former’s birthday.
“Happy Birthday to my mom, my best girl. I love you more than the sun, the moon and all the stars in the galaxy. Love, your chocolate bear,” he wrote.
In June 2019, he shared a Father’s Day tribute for David that included a throwback photo of the father-son duo.
“👀 me in back helping my Dad build our house. Honestly- from total scratch- thats the kind of guy he is. Happy Father’s Day, Dad. Love you,” Zac wrote.
What has Zac Efron said about his family?
Zac has spoken highly of his family and has repeatedly expressed his appreciation for his parents and siblings on social media.
While he was awarded a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in December 2023, he spoke with People about how his parents have supported his career.
“My mom and dad, they’re the reason I’m here today. They believed in me when I don’t know how they did. It must’ve been difficult to drive me back and forth to auditions when I was 15, three hours from the Arroyo Grande out here, just to have such a small shot,” he said.
“They believed in me, and they stuck with me, by my side, through all of it. And I think they sacrificed a lot to support me throughout the years,” he continued.
“So to have them here and to both be here in person is … it makes me emotional, man. It’s very special. It means the world to me.”
