It all happened in an instant — and now, the entire Dancing With the Stars community is buzzing. Just one hour ago, Dylan Efron’s DWTS journey took a shocking twist when a rehearsal mishap left him with a broken nose. His partner, Daniella Karagach, accidentally caught him with a sharp elbow mid-spin — and the result sent him straight to the ER.
Fans were left in disbelief after Dylan shared an update from the hospital, his trademark humor still intact despite the injury. “The rehearsal drama is real!” he wrote. “Took an accidental elbow from @DaniellaKaragach straight to the face and got myself a midnight trip to the ER. Broke my nose, but guess what? I don’t need it to dance. Back to the studio tomorrow!”
Within minutes, the post went viral. Comments poured in from fans and fellow celebrities, praising his resilience and good spirits. Even Zac Efron chimed in with a cheeky comment: “Guess you finally got my nose!” — sparking laughter across social media.
But behind the humor lies an incredible story of determination. Sources close to production reveal that Dylan refused to postpone rehearsals, telling producers, “As long as I can move, I’m not missing a single dance.” His commitment has reportedly earned him newfound respect among the cast and crew.
Meanwhile, Daniella Karagach has spoken out, visibly emotional about the accident. “He’s the toughest guy I’ve ever met,” she said. “I felt awful, but he just laughed it off and said, ‘Battle scars for the ballroom!’” The two were seen hugging in behind-the-scenes footage, proving that their partnership remains stronger than ever.
Producers have confirmed that Dylan’s upcoming live performance will still go on as scheduled — but with a few creative adjustments to choreography to protect his recovery. “He’s determined to make it work,” one insider shared. “Honestly, that grit might just win him the season.”
Fans are already rallying behind him, flooding social media with messages like “#NoseOrNoNose, we’re with you Dylan!” and “This man’s built different.” The support has transformed a painful moment into one of the most inspiring stories of the season.

For Dylan, the injury may have been unexpected — but it’s becoming clear that it won’t define his journey. If anything, it’s amplifying the narrative he’s been building all season: passion, perseverance, and heart.
As one viewer perfectly summed it up, “He came to dance, not to quit.” And now, with a broken nose and an unbreakable spirit, Dylan Efron just might dance his way into DWTS history.
