Meanwhile, Zac’s brother Dylan caused a stir last month when he was granted an exemption to fly into Australia amid the coronavirus pandemic. 

But he was allowed to enter Australia from the US to help produce his brother’s new Netflix series.

He was granted an exemption to fly into the country after the NSW government estimated he would pump $2million into the film industry.
