Efron reportedly put in a bid for a home in Byron Beach — where Chris Hemsworth also lives — after meeting Valladares, according to the Daily Telegraph. Unfortunately for the “Neighbors” star, he lost out on the bid. Still, he cancelled his flight back to Los Angeles and extended his tourist visa for a year to stay in the area.
