Dylan Efron,Zac Efron’s younger brother and star ofThe Traitorsseason 3, has a hot take on personal hygiene.

Dylan, 33, shared his thoughts during some rapid-fire questioning while appearing on the interview showAre You Okay?In a clip, which was posted on the show’s officialInstagramon Friday, Feb. 28, the reality star admits that he thinks showers are “overrated.”

“I think people shower too much,” he says, adding, “We take way too many showers. I go in the pool a lot. Like, there’s chlorine — it’s killing everything.”

When the show’s host points out that you can’t scrub yourself clean in a pool, Dylan replies, “We don’t need to soap our bodies every time we’re in the shower, either. That’s way too much!”

And when it comes to something Dylan considersunderrated?

“This is so corny,” he says with a sheepish smile, before continuing: “Watching more sunsets. Every time I see a sun[set] I run outside and try to watch it.”

This season of the reality show — which challenges players to sniff out a group of secret saboteurs among the other cast members in an effort to win part of a $250,000 grand prize — features an all-star cast includingBritney Spears' ex-husbandSam Asghari,Selling Sunset’sChrishell StauseandRuPaul’s Drag RacestarBob the Drag Queen.

While recentlyspeaking to PEOPLE, Dylan — who shared that he was “really shy” as a kid — said “it was always a dream” to be on a competition show likeThe Traitors.

“I was super competitive growing up,” he said. “So whenTraitorsasked, it was a no-brainer. I don’t think I would’ve been ready for this a couple years ago, but it was the perfect timing for me. I watched, I loved it and I thought I’d do pretty well.”

“I think he’s going to win,” the actor, 37, told the outlet. “He’s really good at games, and I just have a good feeling about it.”

Zac added: “Growing up, he was a first roll [at Yahtzee] kind of dude. If I was him, I would move to Vegas and just play games. He’s that good, so I got high hopes for him.”

When Zac was asked if he might make an appearance on the current season ofThe Traitors— which filmed in a castle in Scotland — alongside his brother, he jokingly refused to comment.

“I know nothing about that,” he coyly replied.

The Traitorsseason 3 is currently streaming on Peacock.
