Zac Efron received heartfelt praise from his younger brother, Dylan Efron, for his powerful performance in The Iron Claw.
In an interview that resurfaced earlier this year, Dylan, who recently wowed audiences by dancing to Zac’s Rewrite the starsreflected on how the film brought the brothers even closer together.
Appearing on the Sorry, we are Cyrus podcast, the Traitor Star spoke about their bond and how it evolved during the making of the emotional sports drama.
“I really liked The Greatest Showman,” Dylan said.
“It’s up there. Iron Claw, I think, is his best acting. Like he’s as sad as a brother.”
He continued, “That’s really sweet. I’ve never said this to anyone, but Zac and I talk a lot.”
“We live in different places right now, but we talk a lot, and looking back, when he was making this movie, he called me almost every other day.”
Dylan also reflected on how these calls took on new meaning once the film was released.
“I didn’t even edit it because he had been doing back-to-back movies, and then I realized he was calling me a lot while he was filming this,” the 33-year-old noted.
“He was like, ‘Yeah, this movie is really hard, I’m just calling to catch up and stuff like that.'”
“I never got together before the show came out, so I knew it was about brothers and stuff like that, but I didn’t like him calling me so much during it because he was so emotional,” Dylan concluded.
