Adam Devine Reveals Unexpected Encounter with Zac Efron
In a recent episode of the podcast In Depth with Graham Bensinger, actor Adam Devine recounted a surprising interaction with his longtime friend, Zac Efron. The two comedic stars, who collaborated on the 2016 film Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates, hadn’t been in touch for years when Efron reached out with a heartfelt message.
A Call from a Friend
Devine, known for his role in Pitch Perfect, shared that Efron called him unexpectedly after a long period of silence. “Zac calls me — hasn’t called me in a couple years — and calls me out of the blue,” Devine explained. “He’s on some private island somewhere and he’s like, ‘Hey man, I just want to let you know that I miss you.’” To this, Devine responded positively, expressing that he too valued their friendship.
The Awkward Request
During this conversation, Efron made an unusual request. “And he’s like, ‘Um, you still have that place down by the beach?'” Devine recalled. After confirming that he did, Efron asked if he could stay with Devine for a two-week visit. “Uh, yeah, no, yeah, sure, yeah, come stay with me,” was Devine’s enthusiastic reply.
Plans That Fell Through
The excitement of the impending reunion quickly escalated when Devine mentioned the arrangement to his wife, Chloe Bridges. “I’m like, ‘Chloe, I think Zac‘s gonna come live here for a couple weeks. I don’t know.’ And she’s like, ‘OK, yeah, I guess so,’” Devine shared. However, what followed next took a turn.
The Ghosting Incident
After the initial call filled with anticipation, Efron did not follow up as expected. Devine was left in the dark, recounting, “And then he ghosted me, dude. Never called back.” Despite sending a message asking if Efron would confirm the stay, Devine heard nothing more. “So, I have no idea,” he remarked, leaving fans to wonder about the state of their friendship.
Conclusion
This unexpected situation serves as a humorous anecdote in Devine’s life, highlighting the unpredictable nature of friendships in Hollywood. While fans are left speculating about their relationship, it’s clear that both have their moments of comedic mishaps.
