Zac Efron made headlines after delivering a jaw-dropping, hilarious moment during the Dancing With the Stars semifinals.
The High School Musical star was caught on camera reacting to his younger brother Dylan Efron’s scores — and fans couldn’t stop laughing at his priceless confusion.
Zac surprised the audience by showing up to support Dylan, who performed alongside pro partner Daniella Karagach during the show’s emotional Prince Night.
The duo’s tango to “I Would Die 4 U” earned straight 9s from the judges, giving them an impressive 27 out of 30.
Zac wasn’t alone. He brought their adorable 5-year-old sister Olivia, who sat on his lap and enjoyed watching Dylan’s jaw-dropping moves.
Host Julianne Hough even shared a behind-the-scenes snap on X, calling Zac and Olivia a “supportive brother and sister.”
Zac’s Priceless Reaction
Amid the celebration, Zac turned to his mom and asked: “Are those good scores?”
When she nodded, he broke into a proud cheer for Dylan — a moment that quickly went viral. Fans couldn’t resist poking fun at Zac’s apparent unfamiliarity with DWTS scoring.
Fans React to the Viral Clip
Social media lit up with emotional and hilarious commentary.
“He’s never seen a single second of this show oh man,” one fan wrote. Another joked: “It’s out of 10 Zac!!!! Yes, that’s good!”
Others teased: “Probably thought the scale went to 100 lmaoooo.”
Dylan’s Emotional Response
Despite the playful reactions, Dylan was thrilled to have his family present.
“My whole family was there,” he told Extra TV, adding that Olivia was his good luck charm. He admitted they were “shocked” but also “stoked” by the scores.
The Competition Heats Up
With Whitney Leavitt and Mark Ballas eliminated, Dylan and Daniella will face tough competition in the finale.
