Zac wrote a lengthy and loving caption for his grandparent to accompany the Instagram video.
'Happy 91st Bday to the Original Efron! The man who made it all possible!' wrote the Neighbors star. 'After the army-he Married my beautiful Grandma Dotty, raised three young Efrons- one of whom is one heck of a guy- my dad. And from the day I came into this world, taught me everything: how to tell stories, ski, laugh, love, work hard, and appreciate the beautiful things in life: paying it forward, treat others as one would like others to treat oneself, and live every day to the fullest.
'I've never seen anyone light up a room like you Grandpa. Thanks for being my idol, mentor, best friend, and the BEST SKIER in the family. Happy 91 years Grandpa! I love you. I'll See you and Grandma soon! Can't wait to follow your tracks down the and beyond.'
Of course, it's expected that the Greatest Showman star's grandparents would be proud of him.

It's also not surprising that they'd choose to remember his work from a more wholesome period.
After a series of raunchy adult comedies, including Neighbors and Dirty Grandpa, Zac is set to star in something far darker and not at all family friendly.
For his next role, the Disaster Artist actor will play serial killer Ted Bundy in Extremely Evil, Shockingly Wicked And Vile.
The film, which co-stars Lily Collins, Jim Parsons and John Malkovich, will have its world premiere at the Sundance Film Festival on January 26.
Zac will also appear in Harmony Korine's Spring Breakers follow-up, The Beach Bum, which will be released on March 22.
