Adam Devine says he’s a victim of ghosting by his friend and former costar Zac Efron.
“Zac calls me — hasn’t called me in several years — calls me out of the blue,” Devine, 41, recalled on the Wednesday, April 2, episode of the “In Depth With Graham Bensinger” podcast. “He’s on some private island somewhere and he goes, ‘Hey man, I just wanna let you know that I miss you.’”
Devine said he missed his “good friend” too and claimed he was asked by Efron, 37, if he still has “that place down by the beach.”
“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,’” Devine claimed to host Graham Bensinger. “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.’”
Devine appeared confident that it was going to happen because he even gave his wife, Chloe Bridges, a heads up. (And yes, she was cool with having a temporary guest at her house.)
Ultimately, the actor claimed he never heard from Efron again after the surprise call.
“He ghosted me, dude. Never called back,” Devine claimed in the podcast episode. “I even texted him like, ‘Are you gonna stay here?’ And [I] haven’t talked with him since. So I’ve [got] no idea, dude. No idea.”
Us Weekly has reached out to Efron’s rep for comment.
Devine and Efron starred as brothers in the 2016 comedy Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates. The movie was based on the true story of real-life brothers Mike and Dave Stangle, who were instructed to bring dates to their sister’s wedding.
In a surprise movie twist, the two hard-partying brothers find themselves out-hustled by an uncontrollable duo.
The film, which also starred Anna Kendrick and Aubrey Plaza, sparked a group chat with the main cast members that remains active today.
“We’re on this text chain,” Devine shared. “For whatever reason, I think Mike and Dave is airing a lot on TV and people are watching it a lot now so we were texting, ‘Oh yah, just ran into someone. They told us about Mike and Dave.’”
Away from the big screen, Devine and Bridges, 33, continue to live in Orange County, California, as they raise their 13-month-old son, Beau.
“This year has been the most transformative year of both of our lives,” Devine shared via Instagram in December 2024 . “It is so cool to see you go from being my wife to now the incredible mother of our child. Life man, what a ride and I’m so happy to be on it with you.”
