Simone Biles felt the «beginning of something new» in 2016 when her idol Zac Efron kissed her on the cheek. Now, receiving congratulations from him on winning gold at the 2024 Olympics in Paris, it’s a full circle moment for the athlete.
The 27-year-old gymnast led her country to victory alongside her teammates Suni Lee, Jade Carey, Jordan Chiles, and Grace McCallum. Her skill and efforts on the gymnastics floor have been recognized worldwide, including by her childhood idol. The 36-year-old actor first met the greatest gymnast of all time at the Rio de Janeiro Games, where they filmed a viral video of him kissing Simone on the cheek.
He was everyone to us because, as we know, Zac Efron, known as Troy Bolton, was the heartthrob of the 2000s.
Since their «seventh heaven» moment with the Wildcat, they have maintained a friendly relationship. After her victory in 2024, Zac congratulated Simone for her excellent leadership in leading the team to victory. «I am incredibly proud of you @simonebiles», - he wrote in his Instagram stories, adding a heart-shaped hand, a gold medal, and a goat emoji to the post about Simone, who was named «the oldest American gymnast to win Olympic gold (27)».
The actor from the movie «High School Musical» even collaborated with ESPN and SportsCenter’s sports accounts to share memories and photos from their first meeting.
Simone had previously revealed in 2016 that «everyone who knows me knows about my crazy obsession with twenty-nine-year-old actor Zac Efron. I even had a life-size cardboard cutout of him at home in Texas. I liked his movies, but most of all I thought he was cute, and I heard he was a really nice guy», - she told Cosmopolitan.
She added for the publication: «when I finally came out from behind Ali, he picked me up right on his hip and kissed me on the cheek. I almost died. I was laughing so hard that all I could think was, 'This can’t be real life. It’s too perfect to be real.'»
