Simone Biles has not been shy about her longtime crush on Zac Efron, and the Olympic gold medallist finally got her much-deserved moment with the actor during the Rio Olympics on Tuesday.

Nineteen-year-old Biles, who is widely regarded as the most talented gymnast ever, has said that she spends about 32 hours a week training – and that she sometimes even fine tunes her routines at the gym, solo, on her one day off.
After cheering Biles and the rest of the USA women’s gymnastics team on from a distance, the 28-year-old actor who is known for his roles in Hairspray and Neighbors, hopped on a plane to surprise them after they finished competing. Raisman told Joyce she would consider it.
She met her crush – Hollywood actor Zac Efron – with her teammates in tow. Thank you Manuel, Biles and Carter for giving women around the world that extra push and letting them know that they can do anything. Their women’s soccer team and top-ranked beach volleyball duo were eliminated from the Olympics, but a lightweight boxer gave the host nation a lift with a stirring victory in his gold medal bout.
Efron will be staying in Rio a bit longer and is going to have a pizza party with Biles and the rest of her “Final Five” teammates.
He continued: “Proud of you Simone!”
The 19-year-old American completed an extraordinary stretch that included a team gold for the “Final Five” as well as individual golds in the all-around and vault and bronze on balance beam.
And if she does bow out, Raisman will become one of the most decorated American gymnasts of all time with SIX medals.
“Their story just blew my mind”, Efron said on the Today Show on Wednesday. I hope I’m an inspiration to others to get out there and try swimming.

“Partying with Zac Efron, eating with Zac Efon, hanging out with Zac Efron, running on the beach with Zac Efron”, Hernandez said. “I just think he’s really hot”. Raisman attended Babson College in Wellesley, Massachusetts in 2013 before returning to her professional career.
