But after Biles won her fourth gold — and fifth overall medal — of the Summer Games to become the most decorated gymnast in American history, Efron decided it was finally time to meet his [self-proclaimed hero](https://twitter.com/ZacEfron/status/763934734099488768) in person. The 28-year-old actor showed up to surprise Biles and the rest of the Final Five following Tuesday’s women’s floor finals, fulfilling his own Olympic goals of hanging out with the team. > [](https://twitter.com/USAGym/status/765661798527799298) Biles even allowed Efron to give her a kiss on the cheek while she Snapchatted the moment. > [](https://twitter.com/Simone%5FBiles/status/765666552410759168) Dreams really do come true. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4455340/rio-2016-olympics-zac-efron-meets-simone-biles/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4455340/rio-2016-olympics-zac-efron-meets-simone-biles/"},"headline":"See Zac Efron Fulfill His Olympic Dream of Meeting Simone Biles","datePublished":"2016-08-16T22:20:45.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:35:34.869Z","description":"Well done, Zac","url":"https://time.com/4455340/rio-2016-olympics-zac-efron-meets-simone-biles/","keywords":["Newsfeed","olympics","celebrities","zac efron","Summer Olympics","Rio 2016","2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympics","Simone Biles","Rio 2016 Olympics"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt7b29c5bd69edc52f/6988a29ffb4eac4c5a88ec41/zac-efron-olympics.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Megan McCluskey","jobTitle":"Staff Writer","url":"https://time.com/author/megan-mccluskey/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt7b29c5bd69edc52f/6988a29ffb4eac4c5a88ec41/zac-efron-olympics.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Premiere Of 20th Century Fox's \"Mike And Dave Need Wedding Dates\"","caption":"Actor Zac Efron arrives at the premiere of 20th Century Fox's 'Mike And Dave Need Wedding Dates' at the Cinerama Dome at ArcLight Hollywood on June 29, 2016 in Hollywood, California.","creditText":"Gregg DeGuire/Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4455340/rio-2016-olympics-zac-efron-meets-simone-biles/","name":"See Zac Efron Fulfill His Olympic Dream of Meeting Simone Biles"}}]}] ```
