The brother’s parents were married for nearly two decades before divorcing in 2016. Father of Dylan and Zach, David Efroneventually moved on with second wife Jenny and they welcomed children Olivia and Henry.

“My motto (for building a strong bond with brother Henry and sister Olivia) was FaceTime. I try to see them as much as I can,” Dylan said us. “But really, I just remembered that my brother was such a good brother to me, and I want to be that to them. So it’s really simple – I like to think what they think of me, and I want to be that presence for them.”

Dylan expressed gratitude to Zach for be a good example.

“Honestly, my little sister is the cutest. She doesn’t have favorites, so we play with each other more. But every time we see her – I can’t tell about her. And then Henry,” Dylan continued then. “He’s just getting to the age where he (develops his) personality. So it’s even hard to choose between the two. That’s how I see myself in Henry and then (in) Olivia, I see Zach. She will probably become an actress (because) she has such a great personality. Henry is a little athlete.’

Does Dylan have reality show experience?

While Dylan was working mostly on screenplay projectshe was a producer at Netflix Down to Earthwhich accompanied Zach on his world travels and covered various life experiences, cultures, culinary endeavors, as well as green energy and sustainable ways of living.

“I like to do things with my brother. Being with family (and) doing it is very nice. It will always be high on what I love to do. But I think it’s good that we’re doing things separately as well,” Dylan exclusively said us in September 2023. “Because I remember at the time we wanted to do a show together and I really wouldn’t have been ready for that. He had been in front of the camera all his life and it was second nature to him. I was a shy little kid, so I had to grow into it.”

Dylan said he would very happy to work with Zac on the project again in the future. “Now would be the time,” he shared. “We are still thinking (about what to do). We are in the process of thinking. We really just want to take a step back and see what stories we want to tell, how we can do that and have fun. We want to keep leveling it up.”

Dylan also worked on telling his own stories in a three-part 2023 YouTube series about California surf culture.

What skills does Dylan offer?

Over the years, Dylan has documented his interest in surfing, skateboarding, kayaking, and running.

“I quickly gave up on high-speed flying, where you run off a cliff with a parachute and then go really fast. I wanted to do it, and I quickly moved away from it as soon as I did it. It’s really scary,” he said us in 2023. “If I were to go back to it, I would just go back to regular skydiving and stay away from it.”

He continued: “Especially when I’m on the road a lot, I don’t try to lift heavy weights. I just want to use my muscles and stretch and try to just keep my body flexible. I don’t want to kill myself trying to use heavy weights, so I just make sure everything is used. You have a problem when you get used to sitting all day and then you don’t use your body at all.”

What does Zach think about Dylan’s chances on Traitors?

Ahead of his time in Scotland being featured on the Peacock, Zac has been supportive of Dylan’s latest endeavours. “I think Dylan is going to win,” Zach told E! News in June 2024. “I hope so because he is very good at games. He has always been there, since childhood. He is like a game master. …If anyone can do it, it’s him. I’m rooting for him.”
