Simone Biles and the Team USA gymnasts flipped out over meeting Zac Efron
It was like winning gold all over again.
Simone Biles had an incredible Olympic games, winning her fifth medal and fourth gold in the floor exercise on Tuesday for the U.S. women’s gymnastics team. But her trip to Rio got even more awesome Tuesday night when she got a kiss on the cheek from her celebrity crush, actor Zac Efron.

The entire women’s gymnastics team had a chance to meet Efron when TODAY host Hoda Kotb had him fly down to Brazil for a surprise visit.
To say they were excited is an understatement.

Biles had previously admitted to Access Hollywood that she had a cardboard cutout of the actor in her room.
“I just think he’s really hot,” Biles told the TV show. “I just like Zac Efron’s face. And he has a good body.”
Efron, for his part, has been cheering the team on from home and seemed pretty excited by meet-and-greet too.
