Piven is in Australia for his new live comedy show, which takes to the stage in Melbourne on April 2 and Sydney on April 4.
Efron’s surprise visit to Australia comes after he previously spent an entire year down under in 2020 to escape Covid-ravaged America.

Zac was mainly based in Byron Bay, where Thor actor Chris Hemsworth owns a $30 million mansion.
He also filmed the Stan Original film Gold in South Australia and shot scenes for his Netflix docuseries Down to Earth.
He found love in Australia with Byron Bay waitress Vanessa Valladares, but they split in April 2021 before he headed to North America.
It is believed they first met in June 2020, when Vanessa was waiting at the Byron Bay General Store cafe.
