If you have watched Netflix’s musical film “A Week Away”, you might have noticed the striking resemblance between the lead actor Kevin Quinn and Hollywood star Zac Efron. The two actors share similar features, such as blue eyes, brown hair, and a charming smile. But are they related in any way? Here’s what we found out.
No Blood Relation
The short answer is no, Kevin Quinn and Zac Efron are not related by blood. They are not brothers, cousins, or distant relatives. They just happen to look very much alike, which is a coincidence that has not gone unnoticed by fans and critics alike.
According to IndieWire, Kevin Quinn is a Zac Efron lookalike who is best known for another summer camp-set project, the Disney TV series “Bunk’d”. The 24-year-old actor was born in Chicago, Illinois, and started his career as a contestant on American Idol season 12. He then landed roles in various TV shows and movies, such as “Chicago P.D.”, “Adventures in Babysitting”, and “Canal Street”.
Zac Efron, on the other hand, is a 35-year-old actor who was born in San Luis Obispo, California. He rose to fame as Troy Bolton in the “High School Musical” franchise, and went on to star in many successful films, such as “Hairspray”, “17 Again”, “The Greatest Showman”, and “Baywatch”. He is also an executive producer and host of the Netflix documentary series “Down to Earth with Zac Efron”.
Similar Career Paths
While Kevin Quinn and Zac Efron are not related by blood, they do share some similarities in their career paths. Both of them started out as singers and auditioned for reality shows. Both of them also got their big breaks from Disney musicals set in summer camps. And both of them have ventured into more mature roles in recent years.
Kevin Quinn played Will Hawkins, a troubled teen who finds love and faith at a Christian summer camp, in “A Week Away”. The film features original songs as well as covers of popular Christian songs from the 1990s and 2000s. Quinn performed most of the songs in the film, showcasing his vocal talents and charisma.
Zac Efron played Jason Cross, a basketball star who discovers his passion for singing at a summer camp, in “High School Musical”. The film spawned two sequels and a global phenomenon that made Efron a household name. Efron sang some of the songs in the film, but his voice was blended with that of another singer, Drew Seeley.
Different Body Types
Another difference between Kevin Quinn and Zac Efron is their body types. While they both have athletic builds, Efron has bulked up considerably for some of his roles, especially for playing Kevin Von Erich, a retired pro wrestler, in the upcoming film “The Iron Claw”.
According to Looper, Efron had to transform his body in a massive effort that may be on par with what he underwent in preparation for “Baywatch”, which is very impressive. He increased his bulk considerably with great results that have sparked positive reactions from many people, including Kevin Von Erich himself.
Kevin Quinn, on the other hand, has maintained a leaner physique that suits his roles as a teen or young adult. He has not revealed any plans to gain more muscle mass for future projects.
Conclusion
In conclusion, Kevin Quinn and Zac Efron are not related by blood, but they do share some similarities in their appearance and career paths. They are both talented actors and singers who have starred in Disney musicals set in summer camps. However, they also have some differences in their body types and roles.
