Dylan Efron Claims Showering Is Overrated, Sparks Online Debate

LOS ANGELES, Calif. — Dylan Efron, the brother of actor Zac Efron, has stirred controversy by claiming that showering is overrated during a recent interview on the show “Are You Okay?” with host Bri Morales. The 33-year-old reality star expressed his belief that people shower far too often, prompting a mix of reactions from social media users.

During a segment aired on February 27, Dylan stated, “I think people shower too much,” further elucidating his perspective by saying, “We take way too many showers. I go in the pool a lot. Like, there’s chlorine. It’s killing everything.” His comments caught Morales off guard, as she challenged him by questioning the efficacy of swimming as a substitute for traditional bathing.

Dylan defended his stance, arguing, “We don’t need to soap our bodies every time we’re in the shower either. That’s way too much.” His statement reflects a broader philosophy regarding cleanliness, which he associates with his experiences in outdoor settings, where conventional indoor plumbing is not always accessible.

As a producer on his brother’s Netflix series, “Down to Earth With Zac Efron,” Dylan has traveled extensively, exploring sustainable living practices across various countries, including Costa Rica and Australia. This exposure to diverse lifestyles may have informed his unconventional views on hygiene.

In a recent social media post, he showcased a more natural approach to cleanliness by sitting in a hot spring in California’s Eastern Sierra mountains, captioning the photo, “So free I could scream … with permission, of course.”

Dylan also made headlines for reuniting with his friend, reality star “Boston” Rob Mariano, at LAX Airport, which he documented on Instagram. His caption read, “Everyone’s in town for the reunion! What questions do you hope are asked by @bravoandy?”

Viewers and fans reacted enthusiastically to the bromance between Efron and Mariano, with comments ranging from nostalgia for past reality competitions to curiosity about their potential collaboration on future projects.

Despite the light-hearted nature of Dylan’s remarks, many viewers expressed skepticism regarding his views on showers. One user commented, “I want to go back to a time I didn’t hear this take on too many showers,” while others were bemused by the claim that exposure to chlorine could replace lathering up with soap.

Dylan’s candidness has attracted significant attention, especially after a history of participating in reality TV shows alongside prominent figures such as Ciara Miller and Gabby Windey. As he continues to share his life and beliefs online, Efron remains a polarizing yet charismatic figure in the reality entertainment landscape.
