Dylan Efron Confirms Nose Injury
The 32-year-old contestant shared the news through an Instagram post on Saturday, October 25, posting photos from a doctor’s visit. “Broke my nose, but don’t need it to dance 
,” Efron captioned, assuring fans that his injury won’t keep him off the dance floor.
Efron, who has been paired with professional dancer Daniella Karagach, expressed gratitude toward his DWTS colleagues, including Karagach’s husband Pasha Pashkov and Danielle Fishel, for their support during the incident. “I’m seriously all good—but I’ll never forget the way Dani, Pasha, and Danielle wouldn’t leave my side when it happened. Warms my heart to have friends like them,” he wrote.
The post was quickly flooded with supportive messages from fellow contestants and professional dancers. DWTS pro Mark Ballas commented, “I hope you’re ok brother. Sending you love,” while Valentin Chmerkovskiy reacted with a simple “Oh em gee.” Emma Slater added, “WHAT?!! @dylanefron hope you’re ok!” to which Efron responded reassuringly, “All good 
already back and practicing.”
Even Efron’s friend and The Traitors co-star Rob Mariano joined in, writing humorously, “Keep him in line @daniellakaragach 
.”
Back on Track for Halloween Night
The injury comes just three days before the highly anticipated DWTS Halloween Night episode, scheduled for October 28. Efron and Karagach are set to perform a Viennese waltz to “Can’t Help Falling in Love (Dark)” by Tommee Profitt and Brooke.
Fans of the competition are eager to see if Efron can maintain his form following the minor accident. His resilience and upbeat attitude have already drawn praise across social media, with many noting his commitment to returning to rehearsals immediately after treatment.
Strong Season So Far
Efron’s journey on Dancing With The Stars Season 34 has been marked by steady improvement and growing fan support. Week 5 proved to be his strongest performance yet, when he delivered a heartfelt contemporary routine dedicated to his younger sister, Olivia. The performance earned a 36 out of 40 from the judges, placing him at the top of the leaderboard for the first time this season.
However, Week 6 saw Efron slip toward the middle of the rankings. His Wicked Night rumba earned a 32 out of 40, leaving him with ground to make up as the competition tightens. With just nine contestants remaining, every performance counts — and Halloween Night could be a turning point.
Efron’s Determination Wins Support
Efron’s decision to perform despite his injury has been widely praised by fans. Many described his response as “inspiring” and “dedicated,” noting his positive energy even after sustaining a painful injury.
DWTS viewers have also applauded the camaraderie within the cast, highlighting how Karagach and other dancers rallied around Efron. “It’s great to see that Dancing With The Stars is not just about competition but also about friendship and resilience,” one fan commented on X (formerly Twitter).
What’s Next for Dylan Efron
As Dancing With The Stars Season 34 continues, Efron remains focused on delivering his best performance yet during Halloween Night. His partnership with Karagach — who previously won Season 30 with Iman Shumpert, has been a highlight of the season, blending charm, athleticism, and storytelling.
Efron’s injury may have added a layer of suspense, but the actor has made it clear that he’s ready to dance through the pain. “Don’t need a nose to dance,” he quipped — and fans are taking him at his word.
Dancing With The Stars Season 34 airs Tuesdays at 8/7c on ABC.
