Adam Devine just spilled the tea (or, in this case, the protein shake) on his former co-star and alleged ghoster, Zac Efron!
If you don’t remember (because 2016 feels like a lifetime ago), Adam and Zac starred together in Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates—a cinematic masterpiece about, well, dudes needing dates. They seemed like total bros, the kind that fist-bump in slow motion.
The Mysterious Case of Zac’s Vanishing Act
According to Adam, one day, out of nowhere, Zac calls him up. And not just from anywhere—Zac was on a private island. (Casual.)
“Zac calls me — hasn’t called me in years — and just out of the blue says, ‘Hey man, I miss you.’”
At this point, Adam, probably thinking this is some The Notebook-level friendship moment, replies, “I miss you too, dude.” Cute, right? WRONG.
Zac then asks if Adam still has his beach house (which, by the way, rich people conversations are wild). When Adam confirms, Zac goes full Goldilocks and asks if he can crash there for two weeks. Adam, being the ultimate bro, says, of course!
“He’s like, ‘I’ll call you tomorrow for the details, and I’ll be there next week!’” Adam recalled, feeling all warm and fuzzy inside.
Enter: The Ghosting
Excited, Adam goes straight to his wife, Chloe Bridges, with the news.
“Chloe, I think Zac Efron is moving in with us for two weeks,” he tells her, probably already envisioning morning surf sessions and protein powder-fueled brunches. Chloe, being the supportive queen she is, says, “Uh… okay?”
And then? Zac disappears like a Marvel villain in a dust cloud.
No calls. No texts. No “Hey, bro, something came up, I’m stuck on my private island.” NOTHING.
Adam, bless his heart, even texted Zac to confirm, because he’s a gentleman like that. But still, radio silence.
To this day, Adam has no idea what happened. Maybe Zac got lost in his own six-pack abs? Maybe he found another, better beach house? We may never know.
But one thing’s for sure—Adam’s beach house had a very lonely two weeks, and somewhere, a ghostly Efron-shaped hole remains in his heart.
