Posted 38 minutes agoDylan Efron Revealed His Actual Name, And, Honestly, My Flabbers Are GastedIf you want to get real, I've been calling him "Whew, chile" for the last few years.by Mychal ThompsonBuzzFeed StaffFacebookPinterestLink You probably know Zac Efron's equally handsome little brother, Dylan Efron, by now from Traitors and Dancing with the Stars. Jc Olivera / Getty Images Lately, it feels like Dylan constantly attempts to break the internet with a strategically shared thirst trap, as seen when he dressed up as a hot Santa Claus for Yahoo! Mail on Dec. 11. Yahoo! Honestly, now I believe in Santa again. Yahoo! But recently, Dylan exposed something else besides his chiseled midriff - his real name. During a Hot Goss interview with E! News to promote his new web series, Everything's A Competition, with his buddy and Traitors costar Rob "Boston Rob" Mariano, Dylan revealed that he hasn't been going by his actual name this entire time. Michael Tullberg / Getty Images It all started when hosts Eyal Booker and Lonnie Marts asked Boston Rob to guess Dylan's middle name, and even he struggled. E! News Boston Rob, who should know his buddy's full name, really tried to figure it out. E! News Bob started from the beginning... E! News If you're asking yourself, "Wait a minute. Who's Nicholas?" You're not alone. Tap to play GIF Tap to play GIF NBC / Via tumblr.com Dylan revealed his full name is Nicholas Dylan Harrison Efron. Rodin Eckenroth / Getty Images He "axed off" Nicholas and prefers to go by Dylan. So, according to Zac's little bro, "Harrison" is the correct answer for his middle name because, since he goes by Dylan, "everything gets bumped up." E! News Even Boston Rob, who obviously spends a lot of time with Dylan, wasn't having it, so my shock feels validated. E! News And in case you're wondering (because I was), Dylan's brother Zac's full name isn't actually Link Troy Carlyle St. Cloud, but he does have a two-middle-name situation - it's Zachary David Alexander Efron. @zacefron / instagram.com Well, that was a surprise! Too bad I'm not calling him Dylan or Nicholas. He's Santa Claus until further notice. Yahoo!
