Then there were all these headlines that maybe we were dating. And I think that had some legs too.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Dave also confirmed that he was responsible for Zac, 37, dislocating his thumb while filming a scene in Neighbors where Zac had to grab Dave\u2019s crotch.<\/p>\n<p>He said: \u201cIt definitely wasn\u2019t because my penis was hard. Yeah. I\u2019m trying to remember if I was wearing a cup and he came in just really strong. I think it was a dislocated thumb to be fair, but it, it happened. There\u2019s a scene where I think we\u2019re both grabbing each other\u2019s crotches at the same time. And I just think he came in with enough force from the wrong angle.<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cThe character actually, now that I think about it, not to walk through the whole synopsis of Neighbors in this interview, but he grabs my crotch and we\u2019re both holding on like who\u2019s gonna let go first and then my character actually to get him to let go, I have a trick where I go Zen and I know how to get hard on cue. So, I do get hard in this hand. That\u2019s what makes him let go.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\nZac previously discussed the incident during a 2014 episode of The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, joking that he broke his hand because Dave had \u201cballs of steel\u201d.<\/p>\n<p><!-- Pagination --><\/p>\n<p><!-- playbuzz --><br \/>\n<!-- end playbuzz--><\/p>\n<p><!-- \n\n<div data-cn-project=\"femalefirst\">\n    \n<\/div>\n\n --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n<!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<p>    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.femalefirst.co.uk\/celebrity\/dave-franco-talks-weird-zac-efron-dating-rumour-1422915.html?f=rss\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>31 July 2025 Dave Franco says the weirdest rumour he ever heard about himself is that he was dating Zac Efron.
