Adam DeVine Said Zac Efron 'Ghosted' Him After Calling Him 'Out Of The Blue' To Ask If He Could Crash At His House, And People Are Weirded Out
Adam DeVine appeared on the In Depth With Graham Bensinger podcast this week, and he wound up recalling a bizarre interaction with fellow actor Zac Efron.
As you might recall, Adam and Zac starred together in the 2016 comedy film Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates, alongside Anna Kendrick and Aubrey Plaza.
But the on-screen brothers have seemingly drifted apart recently, with Adam claiming on the podcast that for the first time in a couple of years, Zac called him about six months ago to ask a favor.
Adam said, 'Zac calls me — hasn't called me in a couple years — and calls me out of the blue. He's on some private island somewhere, and he's like, 'Hey man, I just want to let you know that I miss you.' And I'm like, 'I miss you too, dude. You're a good friend of mine, yada, yada.'''
'He's like, 'You still have that place down by the beach?' And I'm like, 'I do.' And he's like, 'Would it be cool if I came and crashed with you for two weeks?' And I'm like, 'Uh, yeah, yeah, yeah, come stay with me,'' Adam said.
'And he's like, 'All right, I'm going to call you tomorrow to get all the details, and then I'll be there early next week, OK?' And then you'll send me the address and all that,'' Adam added.
Adam then said that he told his wife, Chloe Bridges, that they were set to have some company for a while. 'I'm like, 'Chloe, I think Zac's going to come live here for a couple weeks. I don't know.' And she's like, 'OK, yeah, I guess so,'' he recalled.
However, Adam said that Zac never showed up — and never explained why. 'And then he ghosted me, dude. Never called back. I even texted him like, 'Are you gonna stay here?' And I haven't talked with him since, so I have no idea, dude, no idea,' he claimed.

Reacting to Adam's comments online, several people were pretty weirded out by the entire thing.
'Weird ass thing to do by Zac. Obviously disrespectful but man. How do you go from asking to stay with someone to basically ignoring them with nothing in between lol,' one person wrote.
'This is a really weird story,' someone said, while another user added, 'Zac seems like such a wildcard lol.'

What's the matter with men? The year's most-talked-about TV shows have answers
They've hurt people in sudden fits of rage and calculated, premeditated attacks. They've blackmailed, threatened, lied and seduced. Now, they're starting to face the consequences. After years of showing toxic male behavior onscreen, this TV season has seen plenty of badly behaved men — well, at least the fictional ones — receive retribution. Netflix's 'You' ends with white-knight-in-his-own-mind Joe Goldberg (Penn Badgley) behind bars. During the final season of Hulu's 'The Handmaid's Tale,' Nick Blaine (Max Minghella) and Joseph Lawrence (Bradley Whitford), onetime functionaries of the fundamentalist post-America known as Gilead, realize that oppression based on one religion's beliefs may not be a good idea. 'Black Mirror' sequel episode 'USS Callister: Into Infinity' showed just how deep the toxicity of an abusive captor can run. And after four episodes of Netflix's 'Adolescence,' baby-faced teen killer Jamie Miller (Owen Cooper) finally admits fault. 'Handmaid's,' the 2017 drama series Emmy winner that many saw as a coded message about President Trump's first term, is a particularly potent example of the shift. 'There's no such thing as a good commander,' says Yahlin Chang, who with Eric Tuchman serves as this season's showrunner. 'If you are commander in Gilead, then you are by definition this toxic, poisonous force that needs to be rooted out from top to bottom.' In a world where the powerful increasingly act with impunity, taking fictional villains to task makes sense, a form of Hollywood wish fulfillment for those who feel stuck or hopeless. Programs such as Prime Video's 'The Better Sister' and Apple TV+'s 'Bad Sisters' further the conversation by showing the domino effect male toxicity has on others. The first season of creator and star Sharon Horgan's dark comedy 'Bad Sisters' is about a family of women who hate their sister's emotionally and physically violent husband almost as much as they want to save her from him. In the second season, which premiered last November, the sisters learn there's more to it than simply removing him from the situation. 'Something I was really drawn to write about is that, in the end, they didn't save her,' Horgan says of the battered Grace, played by Anne-Marie Duff. Instead, with years of trauma to work through, she retreats into herself — exactly the outcome her sisters hoped to prevent. 'She couldn't reach out to her sisters, who were heroes to her, and who she knew, deep down, would have done everything for her,' Horgan says. 'But she couldn't quite save herself. And it, structurally, gave us this journey for them.' With 'The Better Sister,' creators Olivia Milch and Regina Corrado look at all the people affected by Corey Stoll's Adam, a husband and father who's only perfect in the public eye. This isn't just about the abuse he inflicts on his wife, Chloe (Jessica Biel), a media personality known for her cutting feminist wit. It also includes Adam's mockery of teen son Ethan (Maxwell Acee Donovan). 'Ethan is at this intersection of childhood and adulthood, and he has this innocence as well as this somewhat complex understanding of adult relationships because he's been witnessing this tension unfold with his parents,' Milch says. Like a lot of teens, Ethan seeks guidance in the online manosphere, going down a rabbit hole of misogynistic comments about his stepmother. Ethan could easily label Chloe a hypocrite in these forums or at home. Instead, the other users disgust him. 'We wanted to talk about how there was a healthy aspect to it for him … that he needed to get it out … and that this was something that was cathartic for him,' adds Corrado. By contrast, the British series 'Adolescence' delves into the ways the internet can push boys in the wrong direction. But co-creator Jack Thorne stresses that collaborator Stephen Graham, who stars as Jamie's father, didn't want this to be the only factor. 'I know that, when I was 13, if I'd read or been told '80% of women are attracted to 20% of men' — a common misogynist talking point online — 'I'd have said, 'Yes, I believe that,'' says Thorne, who is in his 40s. He adds that he also would have acted on the idea that 'your job is to make yourself attractive; your job is to get yourself fitted; your job is to learn how to manipulate the situation.' Thorne says he, Graham and director Philip Barantini weren't just concerned with younger men, though: 'We wanted to examine ourselves in this a bit.' 'We're three men, all of the same age,' Thorne explains. 'We've had different lives, but we've all exhibited cruelty. We've all behaved in ways that were less than perfect. We've all got a relationship with our own shame.' The reason 'You' worked for five seasons is that Badgley's love-obsessed stalker has the charisma to gaslight himself and others into believing he's a good guy. He is incapable of self-examination. 'Performatively, he's a feminist,' says co-showrunner Michael Foley, noting that Badgley's Joe sees himself as a lover rather than a killer — albeit a lover who will kill anyone who keeps him from the object of his infatuation. 'You' premiered in 2018. Co-showrunner Justin Lo says that, if it premiered now, 'Joe would have started off a lot meaner.' 'The toxicity would be more unapologetic, more front and center,' Lo continues. 'Our Joe's toxicity began in a way that was more buried, more covert. And as the series and our culture has progressed, it's gotten more pronounced.' In fact, Joe's final words to his viewers are that he isn't to blame for his actions. You are — for watching.

Who Is Aimee Lou Wood's Boyfriend Adam Long?
Aimee Lou Wood finally put to bed all the endless rumors about her and Walton Goggins being in a feud, and now the internet gets to obsess over something else: what looks to be a new relationship between her and Adam Long. While Aimee is pretty private about her personal life (she dated her Sex Education costar Connor Swindells for years and was completely low-key about it), she and Adam were spotted kissing in London. The Daily Mail has pics if you're looking for proof, and honestly they're super sweet. And I mean, sure, these two could still be super casual. Or this could be step #1 of them going on to have a serious relationship. Either way, clearly the time has come to get to know Adam—unless you're a Happy Valley fan like me, in which case you are more than acquainted, ahem. Aimee and Adam are starring in the BBC's upcoming Film Club together, where they play a couple. Per BBC's synopsis: Adam is probably best known as playing convict Lewis Whippey in the acclaimed British detective series, Happy Valley. The 34-year-old has also starred in Spike Island, Bancroft, Dunkirk, The Thirteenth Tale, Vera (another British mystery show), The Kill Team, Masters of the Air, Nine Bodies in a Mexican Morgue, and Day of the Jackal. Kay, mostly just sharing this as an excuse to note that Aimee commented an enthusiastic "YOU DID IT!" on this photo: Yes, Adam has Instagram, but it's mostly low key and doesn't give much away about his personal life: Meanwhile, his interviews are few and far between. But if you want to get a sense of his personality / vibe / cute accent, there's this old interview from Tribeca Film Festival circa 2019. According to IMDb, aside from Film Club, Adam is starring in a movie called The Trial about three brothers who "face a ruthless gangland trial after their heist goes disastrously wrong." Looking forward to seeing him in it! But mostly to analyzing his vibes with Aimee Lou Wood in Film Club.
