Zac Efron's brother Dylan has revealed he recently saved two girls from drowning in Miami Beach, Florida.

The heroic star, 33, whose A-list brother Zac, 37, starred in the 2017 movie Baywatch, had a lifeguard moment when he rushed into the water to rescue the women.

Dylan said he noticed them struggling in the strong currents as he recalled the frightening ordeal onBrooke & Connor Make A Podcast.

He said: 'It was really random.I showed up to the beach, it was my first time ever actually like on the beach.

'And [I] walk up to the shore for the first time ever, and I’m looking out and it was just people screaming in the water.

'So, I just saw like five girls. Like their hands were up, screaming, there’s people on the shore with their hands up.

'I looked around and there were no lifeguards around and I was with my buddy Brennan and we just sprinted out there.

'There were two closest to us that already had a guy helping them in and then there was three out further so I swam one in and swam out for another girl.

'It was really real. The last girl I swam in I was just trying to calm her down and just saying like "breath, breath" and she just wrapped my in the biggest hug.

'We hugged for like a full minute, just like hugging this girl on shore, like "You're safe your good" and then just walked away.'

'I'm in the water a lot so I just new, the current was ripping we ended up like a football pitch away. The girls probably just got a bit too far away', he added.

Zac starred in the 2017 film Baywatch, which was filmed on Florida's Emerald Bay, and played the hunky new lifeguard.

Dylan recently appeared in season three of The Traitors, the U.S. version of the hit competitive reality series set in a castle in the Scottish Highlands.

He made it all the way to the finale of the Peacock series, but before he even appeared on the show, his older brother sang high praise about him.

Zac previously said he was confident that his younger brother would win and beat all of his costars.

Last June, Zac said he had 'high hopes' for his brother.

'I think he's going to win,' Zac said in an interview with Entertainment Tonight in June 2024.

'He's really good at games, and I just have a good feeling about it.'

He also added that Dylan has always had luck on his side when it comes to gambling and games.

'He is just the best at games. Growing up, he was a first-roll-[at-Yahtzee]-kind-of-dude.
