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.
