In one of the most heartwarming moments of the season, Zac Efron made a surprise appearance on Dancing With the Stars during the Season 34 semifinals — and the audience went wild. The Hollywood star showed up not for publicity, but for family, stepping into the ballroom to cheer on his younger brother, Dylan Efron, who has become a fan favorite this season.
A Family Moment That Stole the Show
Zac was spotted sitting in the audience holding his 5-year-old sister Olivia on his lap, both of them enthusiastically cheering Dylan on. Audience members said Zac appeared emotional and fully invested throughout the night, reacting to every score and moment on the dance floor.
At one point, cameras caught Zac turning to his mother to anxiously ask whether Dylan’s score was good — a wholesome moment that quickly went viral among fans who loved seeing the actor simply being a proud big brother.

For the semifinals, Dylan and his dance partner Daniella Karagach delivered two standout routines inspired by Prince classics:
Tango to “I Would Die 4 U”Their sharp choreography earned strong praise from the judges, and Zac could be seen clapping and smiling proudly from the audience after each performance, even lifting little Olivia into the air as she joined the room in cheering.
A Season Built on Brotherhood
This isn’t the first time Dylan has honored his family during the competition. Earlier in the season, he dedicated a performance on “Dedication Night” to his siblings — dancing to “Rewrite the Stars”, a beloved track sung by Zac himself in The Greatest Showman. That emotional tribute left the audience misty-eyed and signaled just how close the Efron siblings are.
Zac has also been vocal on social media throughout the season, encouraging fans to vote for Dylan and support him as he advanced through each round.
Fans React to the Efron Family Reunion
The surprise visit instantly trended across social platforms. Many viewers expressed delight at seeing Zac in the DWTS ballroom for the very first time, calling it “the best moment of the season” and praising him for supporting Dylan with genuine love and excitement. Some even joked that Zac’s appearance alone should earn Dylan extra votes.
With the finals approaching, one thing is clear: the Efron family has captured the hearts of viewers, and Zac’s heartfelt surprise appearance may go down as one of the most memorable celebrity moments in recent DWTS history.
