But Efron might be an even bigger fan of Biles.
Biles, a four-time gold medalist at the Rio Olympics and the most decorated American gymnast in history, said she has a crush on the actor and has a cardboard cutout of him in her bedroom.
The score that flashed not only earned her a fifth medal at her debut Olympic games, it was also the highest score of her four floor performances over the past 10 days.
Before the Olympic Games 2016, Biles asked Efron to come to Rio to see the American gymnastics team compete in the team finals on the “Today” show.
Teammate Aly Raisman completed a one-two for the United States by earning 15.500 points for the silver while Great Britain’s Amy Tinkler burst into tears after a crowd-pleasing floor display to “Pretty Woman” earned her the bronze.
That same day Efron arrived in Rio.
No cardboard cut-outs of Efron for Simone.
The female Gymnastic team was thrilled with Efron’s visit.
Biles documented the whole thing on her Snapchat, and posted some of the highlights from their meeting on Twitter and Insta.
