As 1/5th of Team USA’s “The Final Five” women’s gymnastics team, Simone Biles has become a household name due to her athletic extraordinaire. After appearing on The Ellen Show, she’s also been getting some attention for a series of tweets with a certain celebrity. Biles got a shout out from her long-time crush, Zac Efron, and fans could not stopping talking about and sharing their Twitter exchanges.
Ellen had known of Biles’ crush and gifted her a leotard with Zac’s face all over it, thinking it would be a great way to get his attention

Thanks, Ellen, for getting the ball rolling. Is it too soon to ask for an in-person meeting on your show next?
