Derek Hough mixed up Tyler Cameron and Dylan Efron's names while on air.

Hough told Cameron, “Dylan, you have this Patrick Swayze aura about you. You’re cool, masculine, just effortless. For me, the frame, aw mate, we got to expand it. Marrying your presence with the technique, the frame, the posture, you’re going to be fantastic.”

Fans reacted quickly to the mistake on social media. One user wrote, “Bro, Derek thinks Tyler Cameron is Dylan Efron from last year,” as another said, “Dylan Efron lives on through Tyler Cameron apparently.”

Efron, who was on Season 34, told Page Six that he was backstage with Robert Irwin, Season 34’s winner, when the slip happened.

“It was funny, but I didn’t think it would turn into, like, I wasn’t sure if anyone else noticed,” he admitted. “Like, I’m more sensitive to it since it’s my name. But then immediately I saw Tyler and was like, ‘Hey, we need to go give Derek s---.”

Cameron agreed with Efron’s plan and revealed that Tate Madden, Cameron’s fiancée, came up with the idea for their now-viral video of them making fun of Hough’s error.

Efron said being back on the ballroom floor felt like a high school reunion.

After being a contestant on Season 34, Efron opened up about how he feels on the ballroom floor, saying it was like a high school reunion.

“You hear those three beeps before the song starts, and it’s like, you have some adrenaline pumping through your veins even though you’re not dancing,” he spilled. “It’s just such a good environment there, so I still feel it.”

Efron and his dance partner, Daniella Karagach, placed fourth last season, prompting him to speak about her new partner for this season, Paralympic gold medalist Ezra Frech.

“I had to fight my way from the bottom; I feel like — I think he’s already feeling like a finalist and potential winner,” he stated.

“He just seems like he has such a good head on his shoulders,” he added. “He’s a competitor.”

Efron gave his unconventional take on how often people should take showers.

Efron recently landed a brand deal with e.l.f. Hair. In the campaign, Efron is seen taking a steamy shower with "E.L.F. Hair’s Never Thirsty Shampoo + Conditioner." This campaign follows Efron's take on how often people should wash themselves.

“I think people shower too much,” he said while on the show Are You Okay?. “We take way too many showers. I go in the pool a lot. Like, there’s chlorine — it’s killing everything.”

Fans called him out about his comments, but he instantly doubled down.

“We don’t need to soap our bodies every time we’re in the shower, either," he declared. "That’s way too much!”
