In his video package ahead of the performance, Dylan explained per Entertainment Weekly, “I wasn’t expecting to be a big brother. She’s 5, and I’m 33. But immediately I was inseparable from her. She’s everything to me. I want to show her to live her life with confidence.” And the feeling is adorably mutual. Olivia told the camera, “I just like being with Dylan, he’s my best friend, and I just feel like I’m free with him.” So, you know, now would be a good time to call your big brother if you have one, and ask him why he couldn’t be more like Dylan Efron.
Ahead of the actual dance, Efron posted several videos to social media promoting it, including one adorable montage of himself and little Olivia, in which his baby sister says, “Dylan just love me. He just can’t stop doin’ that.”
After leaving the ballroom, Efron, holding Olivia, answered some questions from Access Hollywood. First, he credited his high scores (the highest of the night) to his tiny partner. “It was all Olivia,” he said. But Efron didn’t forget to lavish praise on his other sibling as well. Asked about brother Zac, he said, “He’s just always been there for me. Whenever I needed him, he was there.”
