How fatherhood reshaped Adam Devine’s fitness routine
Adam Devine discusses how fatherhood changed his approach to fitness and nutrition.
Adam Devine needs an explanation.
The “Workaholics” actor, 41, revealed in an interview on “In Depth With Graham Bensinger” that his “Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates” co-star Zac Efron mysteriously ghosted him just after asking him for a place to stay for two weeks.
Devine told Bensinger that about six months ago, the “High School Musical” star called him “out of the blue” for the first time in a few years and told him that he misses him.
“He’s like, ‘Um, you still have that place down by the beach?’ And I’m like, ‘I do,’” Devine said. “He’s like, ‘Would it be cool if I came and crashed with you for two weeks?’ I’m like, ‘Uh, yeah, sure, come stay with me.’ He’s like, ‘Alright, I’m gonna call you tomorrow to get all the details, and then I’ll be there early next week, and then you’ll send me the address and all that.’ I’m like, ‘Alright.’”
But according to Devine, Efron never followed up to get the details, and that phone call is the last time they’ve spoken.
“He ghosted me, dude,” Devine said. “Never called back. I even texted him like, ‘Are you gonna stay here?’ Haven’t talked with him since. So I have no idea, dude. No idea.”
USA TODAY has reached out to representatives for Efron.
Efron and Devine starred as brothers in “Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates,” a 2016 comedy where their characters place an ad looking for dates to accompany them to their sister’s wedding. Anna Kendrick and Aubrey Plaza also starred.
Devine told Bensinger that he, Efron, Kendrick and Plaza are still on a text chain together, where they’ll sometimes share stories about running into people who are fans of the film.
Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter in 2016, Devine said that he and Efron “really clicked” starting from their “rehearsal-slash-brother-bonding time” while working on “Mike and Dave.”
“It sort of pisses me off how great of a guy he is on top of being America’s handsome prince,” he added.
More than two years after the film’s release, Devine shared a photo from the set in a 2018 Instagram post wishing a happy birthday to “my main man Z bone,” calling Efron “my brother in flexed arms.”
