How Dylan Efron's thick thighs literally saved lives

If you thought Dylan Efron’s abs and sense of humor had you head over heels for him, wait until you hear about how he saved two women’s lives!

While on an episode of Brooke and Connor Make a Podcast on Thursday, The Traitors season 3 star detailed his experience in South Beach, Miami that led him to jump into the Atlantic Ocean to save some swimmers alongside his friend Brennon and reality TV costar Sam Asghari.

“I just walk up the shore for the first time ever, and I’m looking out, and there’s people screaming in the water,” Efron said, but while most people might have thought there was a shark, he didn’t because “the currents were ripping.”

Zac Efron’s 33-year-old younger brother quickly realized there were five young women in the water in need of help. “I just saw five girls, like, their hands were up, screaming. There’s people on the shore with their hands up,” he recalled, Page Six reports.

“So I just looked around, and there’s no lifeguards around. … Me and Brennon just look at each other, and we just sprinted out there,” Efron continued.

Two of the women were close too shore and there was “already had a guy helping them in,” but there were still three other women “out further,” that he set his sights on rescuing.

“So I swam one in, swam back for another girl,” he explained.

Luckily, the third woman left out in the water was able to get back to shore on her own. “The last girl I swam in, I was just trying to calm her down. Just saying, ‘Breathe. Breathe.’ And she’s just wrapped me in the biggest hug, like, doesn’t wanna let go. So we hugged for like a full minute, just hugging this girl on the shore. I’m like, ‘You’re safe. You’re good,’” he said.

This story almost makes us want to go swimming in a dangerous ocean!

Then, Efron admitted that the young woman “never said [another] word” to him, and they both “just walked away,” describing the harrowing experience as being both “random” and “really real.”

Efron said he didn’t hesitate to jump into the ocean despite the rip current, “I’m in the water a lot, so I just felt comfortable.” But he and Brennon “ended up, like, a football field length away” after getting in the water.

“The current was strong,” he reiterated. “The girls probably just got a little too far and got scared.”
