The actor has posted a shirtless photo with his lesser-known brother Dylan, and it’s clear the Efron genes run strong.

The Efron genes run strong.

Zac Efron sent hearts racing after posing a series of shirtless snaps alongside his younger brother, Dylan Efron, to Instagram.

The hunky siblings looked ripped as they posed in their swim trunks after enjoying a day of boating in Coeur D’Alene, Idaho.

While Zac, who wore palm tree and crystal pendant necklaces, showed off his chiselled abs in navy patterned shorts, Dylan opted for two-toned trunks.

Zac, 35, and Dylan, 31, both flashed big smiles for the camera despite the gloomy weather.

In the second snap, the former teen heart-throb fixed his hair after emerging from the water.

Zac also included photos of himself golfing — and getting swept up in a wave — in the carousel, which he simply captioned, “8/31/23.”

The thirst traps sent the High School Musical star’s 61 million followers into a frenzy given his lack of social media activity throughout the summer.

“saving *respectfully*,” one user commented, while another gave props to the pair’s parents, writing, “Nice genes, dad.”

“I just want to be zaddy’s caddy [sic],” wrote a third, as a fourth joked, “Please lord my girlfriend cannot see this.”

“Kids wake up, Zac Efron grew his chest hair back,” someone else tweeted.

Efron took to social media with a series of photos from his day out in Idaho.

Looks fun.

Zac has been making the most of his summer — all while seemingly never missing a workout.

The Emmy winner was spotted catching some rays with his pals on a luxury yacht in St. Tropez in July.

Despite maintaining a seemingly flawless physique, Zac previously admitted that he took things a little too far while training for Baywatch in 2017.

In order to achieve such a lean look, he worked out excessively and ate the same meal three times a day, which he said led to insomnia and “pretty bad” depression.

“That [look], I don’t know if that’s really attainable. There’s just too little water in the skin,” the Down to Earth host told Men’s Health in September 2022.

“Like, it’s fake; it looks CGI’d. And that required Lasix, powerful diuretics, to achieve. So I don’t need to do that. I much prefer to have an extra, you know, 2 to 3 per cent body fat.”

After filming, Zac decided to “let [himself] go” but quickly realised he needed a bit more structure.

“My body would not feel healthy; I just didn’t feel alive. I felt bogged down and slow.”

Whatever he’s doing now, it’s clearing working!
