Dylan Efron on 'The Traitors,' Why He Hates Dates, & What Turns Him On | Blind Date | Cosmopolitan - video Dailymotion

Cosmopolitan USA

We know Dylan Efron is basically everyone’s dream date—but we weren’t prepared for *this much* charm. In this episode of “Blind Date,” Cosmo Editor-in-Chief Willa Bennett sits down with ‘The Traitors' winner for his perfect meal, served with a side of flirtation and first-date questions plucked straight from 2009 Cosmo. From fans challenging him to rock-paper-scissors in public to spending his ‘Traitors’ prize money on a new apartment, Dylan opens up about being a homebody, his love language, and why he’ll always choose experiences over money. He may joke that he’s no Pedro Pascal—and sure, he smells like Glen Powell—but after this date? He’s firmly in leading man territory.

00:00What do fans say to you the most when meeting you?

00:02It's always like that we-

00:03You're so hot.

00:04No, the best is when they come up and just do the rock,

00:06paper, scissors.

00:08Rock, paper, scissors.

00:10Oh, damn.

00:11I won traders.

00:12My name is Willa Bennett, and I'm going to go on a blind date.

00:22Hey.

00:23Hi.

00:24You smell really nice.

00:26What are you wearing?

00:27I actually forgot most of my deodorant and stuff.

00:32You definitely smell like a boy, so I'm thinking you're a boy.

00:35Is that true?

00:36Yes.

00:37Have we met before?

00:38I think so.

00:39Oh, God.

00:40You think so?

00:42Are you an actor?

00:44Not really.

00:46I was going to guess Glenn Powell.

00:47I feel like this is what Glenn Powell smells like.

00:49I'll take that.

00:50Are you a model?

00:52I don't think so either.

00:54What are you?

00:55I was just on a show.

00:57Did I see the show?

00:59I think so.

01:00Why do you think so?

01:02A lot of people did.

01:04OK.

01:05So you're on a really popular show.

01:07Pedro Pascal?

01:08No.

01:09You're thinking people are way cooler than me.

01:12So you're not as cool as Pedro Pascal.

01:14You smell like Glenn Powell.

01:16Andy Cohen?

01:17No.

01:17I did do Watch What Happens Live, though.

01:20Oh, my God.

01:20Me, too.

01:21Who else is on the episode with you?

01:23I don't give it away.

01:25Describe them without saying their name.

01:27Money signs?

01:28You're Dylan Efron.

01:29Damn, I gave it away.

01:31Yes.

01:32Oh, my God.

01:33This is like my dream.

01:35That was nerve-wracking, by the way.

01:36My heart's like beating out of my chest.

01:38I don't want to give it away.

01:40Would you say I'm making you nervous?

01:41Yeah, definitely.

01:42Thank God.

01:43It works.

01:44Well, cheers.

01:45Oh, my God, I get to go on a whole date with you.

01:47And you got, like, this is my perfect meal.

01:49Are you hungry?

01:49Starving.

01:50I haven't eaten today.

01:51OK, dig in.

01:52What are you waiting for, sir?

01:53Well, I was busy with a microphone.

01:55What do you like on dates?

01:56I like fun.

01:57So, like, the meal's not the fun part for me.

01:59The meal is like, let's get our chit-chat out of the way,

02:02and then let's go, like, walk.

02:03Let's go do something else.

02:05Do you go on a lot of dates?

02:06Not really.

02:06I'm kind of a homebody.

02:07I get so anxious when there's a period where, like, you finish the meal,

02:12and then you're waiting on the waiter to, like, give you

02:14the, like, I want to go back and pay so we can sit and leave

02:17when we want to leave.

02:18I hate feeling like I'm held hostage at a table.

02:20So it's the paying?

02:22Oh, I hate it.

02:23And traitors didn't make you anxious?

02:24I feel like that's the equivalent of, like, being held.

02:26I was anxious the entire time telling me the traitors.

02:29Really?

02:30No, it was super fun, but we were stressed out.

02:32And you can't talk to anyone?

02:34No one.

02:34We had our phones once a week.

02:36Like, there was someone over my shoulder.

02:38So, like, normally call my girlfriend.

02:39I had, like, 20 minutes.

02:40You have another girlfriend?

02:41I do.

02:43She was here first.

02:44But I'm here now.

02:46She gave me permission, so we're good.

02:48I would call my girlfriend, and then, like, after the call...

02:51Why didn't you ever call me?

02:52I had one person that I could call, really.

02:55But I would call her, and then, like, the guy would be listening the whole time.

02:59He's, like, in the conversation, but not.

03:02And I would always, like, hang up, and he'd be like, I love her.

03:04Like, she's the best.

03:05It was kind of awesome.

03:06So you can't sext?

03:07No.

03:08Why weren't you a traitor?

03:09You just didn't want to be?

03:10I didn't want to be at first.

03:12I thought you would be a really good traitor.

03:13No.

03:14Because I genuinely think you're a traitor.

03:15I was hoping to get recruited, and then when I got to that point, I didn't want to be recruited.

03:20Because I wanted to win with the people I had, like, gotten so far with.

03:23And why, in the final scene, you didn't anyone over?

03:26We all talked about it.

03:27What?

03:28Were you allowed to do that?

03:29Yeah.

03:30We had, like, a whole day with, like, the five of us.

03:32So we really strategized.

03:33We knew that that was the right strategy move, was to eliminate people, be more sure that

03:38we're going to win.

03:42What's this?

03:43It's not food.

03:44Not more food coming.

03:45Don't worry, King.

03:46All right.

03:47I'm going to read advice.

03:48What Cosmo 2009, Ashley Tisdale, says that we should do on a first date.

03:53Questions I should ask you.

03:54All right.

03:55And don't worry, there's more food.

03:56Wow, this looks so good.

03:57You want a minute to eat so you don't get anxious?

03:58No, I'm not anxious.

03:59I just don't know when to pay them.

04:01Okay.

04:02What is the number one place you're dying to visit?

04:05And what would you want to do to me there?

04:07Am I supposed to answer this?

04:08Is there anyone else here?

04:10Somewhere tropical.

04:11So what do you want to do to me there?

04:14Read a book?

04:15Yeah.

04:16Read some smut.

04:17Let's take your audio books.

04:19That sounds literally incredible.

04:22This is the biggest risk you've ever taken.

04:24I love that that's the second question to ask, but the first one is that.

04:27Yeah, what do you want to do to me on an island?

04:29I mean, I did want to know.

04:31Maybe being on Traders, I've never done anything like that.

04:34But second would have been when I tried this thing called speed flying.

04:38You run off a mountain with a parachute, and I'm not good at it.

04:42You've done that?

04:43Yeah.

04:44There's a guy on a radio talking to me, so I run off the mountain.

04:47It works.

04:48And he's like, don't worry.

04:49I'm going to talk you through the whole flight.

04:50The radio just cuts out.

04:51So I'm up there alone being like, I have no idea what I'm doing.

04:54Like 800 feet in the sky.

04:56As I'm about to land, the radio comes in.

04:58He's like, pull the shoe, pull down, pull down.

05:00I landed, did it once, never did it again.

05:03If you could take private lessons to master any skill, what would you choose to learn?

05:07Maybe guitar.

05:08I think learning guitar would be cool.

05:10I think you could learn guitar.

05:11You won Traders.

05:12I think that's...

05:13I think private lessons, I could do it.

05:15Can you play?

05:16I will learn for you.

05:18All right.

05:19Would you rather be rich, smart, famous, or gorgeous?

05:23Smart.

05:24So true, me too.

05:25Okay, last question.

05:26If you won $10 million lottery, but you can't spend it on yourself, what would you do with

05:31it?

05:32Can I be involved?

05:33You know when you give those gifts that aren't for you, but you kind of benefit from?

05:38Like, I gave my girlfriend pillows one year, which was like semi for me.

05:42So true.

05:43And then I gave her golf clubs, which is semi for me.

05:45That is definitely for you.

05:46Yeah, it's like guitar, like a new house you can live in.

05:53Okay, so now our final course.

05:55Don't worry, I got us dessert, and I've already taken care of the bill.

05:58Oh, yes.

05:59So you can rest easy.

06:00Hardly relax.

06:01Ooh.

06:03One dessert, two forks.

06:04Ooh.

06:05I noticed you didn't put your napkin down.

06:07See, I don't like that.

06:08I'm not a good restaurant person.

06:09Cosmo Readers asked these.

06:10Oh, okay.

06:11And I haven't seen these because I didn't know it was you.

06:13I thought you were Glenn Powell.

06:15Pedro Pascal.

06:16Would you do another reality TV show?

06:18And if so, which one?

06:19I would do another one.

06:20I want it to be something where it's like an experience.

06:24Like, I've always put experiences over money.

06:27I want to do something where it's like, I'll look back at my life and be like,

06:30that was...

06:31Like, I learned from this as to which one.

06:34I'll have to find out.

06:35What's the first thing you spent your Traders winning on?

06:37I also want to know.

06:38Cosmo Readers are genius.

06:40I did get a new apartment.

06:42And that was kind of like...

06:43Slay.

06:44That was kind of my...

06:45You're feeding me.

06:46I can't...

06:47Where's our new apartment?

06:49It's in LA.

06:50Where is the strangest place you've been recognized since being on the Traders?

06:54Peeing at a...

06:55Peeing?

06:56Yeah.

06:57Peeing where?

06:58Like, you know, in the urinals, but you can like, see over.

07:00Do I even tell this story?

07:03I brought out my phone for a second and the guy like, thought I was recording myself

07:08peeing.

07:09And then he looked up at me and was like, I know who you are.

07:12And then he started and it led to a whole conversation.

07:14He's like, oh, I'm gonna tell everyone you record yourself while you pee.

07:16I was like, dude, get out of here.

07:19So did you record yourself when you pee?

07:21No.

07:22I don't.

07:23You were just taking a selfie?

07:24Damn.

07:25I should have just let that die.

07:28What do fans say to you the most when meeting you?

07:30They're really nice.

07:31It's always like...

07:32They're so hot.

07:33No.

07:34It's always that we rooted for you.

07:35They're happy at one.

07:36The best is when they come up and just do the rock, paper, scissors.

07:39Okay.

07:40Let's play.

07:41Yeah.

07:42Rock, paper, scissors.

07:43Oh, damn.

07:44I...

07:45I won Traders.

07:46You did.

07:47Name three turn-ons in a relationship.

07:48Love languages.

07:49But it's like the love language where they like, where it's acts of services.

07:53Does that count as one?

07:54Totally.

07:55Yeah.

07:56Acts of services I like.

07:57So you like giving or you want someone to give acts of service to you?

08:02Yeah.

08:03Like I love that.

08:04I made you cake.

08:05I know.

08:06I'm happy for that.

08:07So your turn done?

08:08Yeah.

08:09So hard.

08:10What are your other two?

08:13We're not done, sir.

08:15I love when I make you laugh.

08:19What are my other two?

08:21Someone that I can laugh with.

08:22So us.

08:23Like if you can make me laugh, that's the biggest thing.

08:25This is the best day of my life.

08:26Yeah.

08:27Okay.

08:28What else?

08:29Just like a blazer.

08:30You're with this, sir.

08:32I forgot.

08:33I just remembered you were on Traders.

08:36What is the most romantic thing you've ever done for your partner?

08:39This could make me jealous though.

08:41Hmm.

08:42We did go to Tokyo.

08:43Like the most amazing hotel.

08:45Post Traders?

08:46I think it was.

08:47Yeah.

08:48This is Post Traders.

08:49So once you became rich.

08:50Yeah.

08:51Once I knew.

08:52Have you been to Japan?

08:53No.

08:54Oh, you gotta go.

08:55I guess you gotta take me.

08:56Talk about a fun first date or something.
