Dylan Efron Is Ready for Girlfriend Courtney and Boston Rob's Wife Amber Mariano to Become Friends

Dylan Efron Is Ready for Girlfriend Courtney and Boston Rob's Wife Amber Mariano to Become Friends

Yahoo27-05-2025
Is it time to turn this bromance into double dates? As Dylan Efron and Boston Rob's friendship continues to bring joy to Traitors fans, Efron revealed he hasn't met fellow Survivor icon Amber Mariano — but is ready to make it happen.
'At this point, Amber and my girlfriend, Courtney, need to get their own trip,' Efron, 33, said with a laugh while speaking to Us Weekly at Wasa's Camp Crunch on Governors Island in New York City. 'We need to get them together 'cause they're getting pretty jealous of each other.'
As a Survivor fan, Efron was well aware of both Rob and Amber's love story and gameplay. He bonded with Rob in the castle on season 3 of The Traitors, and the twosome have been meeting up all over the country for events.
'It is pretty hilarious. My girlfriend was saying it the other day. She's just like, 'You have the weirdest life.' If you would've told me when I was watching Survivor, 'I'm gonna meet that guy and be friends,' she would've laughed,' Efron said. 'It's pretty cool.'

Efron and Rob's latest outing? The premiere of the new Mission: Impossible movie earlier this month.
"I think the best part of Boston Rob is he doesn't act his age. He can go with the flow. We were just at this Tom Cruise premiere and everyone's, like, under 30, but he's there with us hanging out. Everyone loves him. He can kind of be a chameleon and blend into whatever setting he is in," Efron said. "If you've watched Survivor, he really is exactly what you think. And I think a lot of people, when you watch 'em on TV and you meet 'em in real life, they're different. So when you meet someone that's exactly what you think they are, it's refreshing."
While at that premiere, Dylan also had a chance to talk to Cruise, who he had met with brother Zac Efron a decade prior.
"I was like, 'I met you with my brother, like, 12 years ago at a pretty small dinner.' And he was like, 'Oh, my God. I remember. It was at the Chateau Marmont!'" Dylan recalled. "He remembered my brother and that's how he probably put it together, but it was pretty cool. He's the best for a reason. I worked at Warner Bros. and I was so impressed because he would show up through post-production — no actors do that. No actor is coming in once the movie wraps to make sure the movie's good, and he did that every day. He really cares about it."

While Dylan had been working behind the scenes on films and with Zac on Netflix's Down to Earth With Zac Efron, he's become a star in front of the camera thanks to winning season 3 of The Traitors. For his next venture, Dylan is very open to the reality TV possibilities.
"I'm down. I just want something that's a good experience. That's why I've traveled as much as I have. I've always prioritized making experiences that I can look back on the rest of my life and a lot of these shows — like Special Forces, for example. I'm not in the military. I'm never gonna know what it's like. But if you do that for two weeks, it's gonna change your life. I am interested in other shows, just whatever it is, I want to learn a new skill and have a blast," he said.
When the idea of Dancing With the Stars came up, Dylan hinted it could be a possibility, saying, "I don't dance, so it would be one where I'm learning a new skill!"
In case you missed it, Dylan also made headlines last month for saving two women from drowning on the beach in Miami with Traitors costar Sam Asghari.

"It was pretty weird because when it ended, it was one of those things that no one was recording, no one knew it happened. So I didn't think anything was gonna come of it and I didn't expect anything of it. It was just like, I'm a decent swimmer and I saw people out there, so I helped. ... Everyone's like, 'What can't he do?' And I'm like, 'Guys, it wasn't that glamorous. people needed help. I swam,'" he told Us, adding that the beachgoers had "no idea" who Dylan or Asghari were."One woman was very shell-shocked, and I just stayed with her until she caught her breath."
Dylan is now used to having more eyes on him, which has also helped him find perfect opportunities for brand partnerships — like with Wasa.
'In the past, I couldn't be as selective, and now I get to be selective with who I'm working with. You can tell when it's organic — this is everything I love so it makes it much easier to speak on it,' he said, referring to the camp-style retreat, which included a Chopped-style challenge with Wasa Crispbreads (a snack that he eats often in his daily life).
"We had 10 people on our team with a list of ingredients," he explained. "Our first one was Wasa Crisp Creation Cinnamon, and we put cream cheese, strawberries, blueberries and coconut shreds on it. Second one was savory, so we did Wasa Crisp Creations Sesame & Sea Salt with cottage cheese, cucumber, bagel seasoning and dill, like, our take on a New York bagel."
Dylan also recorded an ASMR playlist for the brand. "I'm into it now. I wasn't sure — it was my first time doing ASMR, but it turned out so good with the cracks and the crackles of the cracker,' he said. 'Once it was all put together, it was pretty incredible."
