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.
Adam DeVine reveals he is 'constantly' being grabbed after performances and he's fed up
"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."

It's a toxic lesbian vampire summer: ‘Bury Our Bones' is V.E. Schwab at her realest
It's a toxic lesbian vampire summer: 'Bury Our Bones' is V.E. Schwab at her realest V.E. Schwab is hungry. The bestselling author of 2020 breakout 'The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue' has spent most of her career assimilating, presenting herself as less feminine and less queer. She used a pseudonym for her first name, Victoria, in part as a gender-neutral appeal to fantasy readers, a historically male-dominated genre. She was told to temper her ambition. She was told to want less. Over a dozen novels later, Schwab says she's done filtering herself. She's starving to be her most creatively uninhibited self and 'Bury Our Bones in the Midnight Soil' (out now from Macmillan) is her meal ticket there. 'The thing you realize when you spend so many years just trying to be what everybody else wants and trying not to rock the boat is that you're the only one that drowns,' Schwab tells USA TODAY. 'Bones' lets messy LGBTQ+ villains bite "Bones," which Schwab calls 'three novellas in a trench coat,' follows three vampires – one in 16th-century Spain, one in London in the 1800s and another in Boston, circa 2019. It's a toxic love triangle, a cautionary tale of vengeful exes and a thrilling, genre-defying ode to queer want. It's her most explicitly queer novel yet. After she saw how LGBTQ+ characters in spy thriller series 'Killing Eve' and AMC's remake of 'Interview with the Vampire' were embraced, Schwab was inspired to write a story centering messy, queer villains. Historically, LGBTQ+ characters are typically killed off (see the 'bury your gays' phenomenon) or sanitized. But as queer representation increases in media, audiences crave different, more complex stories. 'I just desperately wanted to write messy people, because when we insist that queer characters be perfect citizens, we say that their queer analogs in reality also can't make mistakes,' Schwab says. 'It's so reductive, it doesn't allow for complexity, it doesn't allow for nuance. It doesn't allow us to take up the same amount of space in the world as our straight counterparts.' Vampires on page and onscreen have long had queer undertones, especially with social outcast, androgyny, seduction and desire not embraced by larger society. Schwab calls 'the turn' from human to vampire the perfect metaphor for queer awakening. She's not the only one ready for more frank representation. AMC's 2022 remake of 'Interview with the Vampire' focused explicitly on queerness, where the original novel and 1994 movie left it up to fans to decode. 'Bones' takes that a step further by centering on female vampires. 'I felt like (vampire stories) often centered men, or if there were female vampires, they kind of were just objects of sexual desire on the periphery,' Schwab says. 'There is an inherent violence to moving through the world in a feminine body. You invite violence by simply existing, you are marked prey by the world. And I thought about the ultimate liberation of moving from prey to predator.' Schwab's characters are liberated – after they turn, they can live authentically. They also all deal with their vampirism differently, an apt metaphor for how coming out can affect people differently. All three characters share a common desire for more than their old life could offer. 'When I say that this is a book about hunger, I mean everything – it's the hunger to be loved, it's the hunger to be seen, it's the hunger to be understood, it's the hunger to take up space in the world, it's the hunger to take what you want as well as what you need. And hunger in the wrong hands is violence. Hunger in the right hands is romance,' Schwab says. 'Hunger, to me, is one of the most universal sensations. … it could be a meal or a life.' New book isn't 'Addie LaRue' – and Schwab is OK with that Still, the leadup to 'Bones' hasn't always felt so joyous. Every time Schwab teases information about the book, people ask her to write a sequel to 'Addie LaRue' instead. She's seen some readers declare 'Bones' an automatic skip because it has lesbian characters. She isn't letting it deter her. 'If I couldn't translate the success of Addie LaRue into sheer unapologetic storytelling, then it was a disservice to that book,' Schwab says. 'There is an inclination when you have such a large success to conform to it.' Instead, she says she wrote 'Bones' for her and hopes readers find her where she is. Early rave reviews confirm her hopes. 'Addie LaRue' taught her to abandon perfectionism and instead focus on purpose. Schwab wants to see both publishing and readers make room for other queer writers, who she says are 'always told to hunger for less or just settle.' In a landscape of exceptionalism where few marginalized writers break through to mainstream success, Schwab's rallying cry is 'more.' 'I'm hungry for stories, I'm hungry for art, I'm hungry for music that makes me want to make (art), I'm hungry for books. I have a voracious appetite for anything artistic,' Schwab says. 'Men are told to hunger, women are told to feed. And I think it's totally OK to hunger.'

Look: Megan Stalter stars in Lena Dunham series 'Too Much'
1 of 5 | Megan Stalter attends the SAG Awards in 2023. She stars in the upcoming Netflix series "Too Much." File Photo by Jim Ruymen/UPI | License Photo June 10 (UPI) -- Netflix is previewing Lena Dunham's upcoming series Too Much ahead of its July 10 arrival on the streamer. The trailer released Tuesday shows Jessica, who is portrayed by Megan Stalter, seemingly breaking into a friend's (Emily Ratajkowski) apartment in the middle of the night following a breakup. "Leaving me is the worst thing that anyone's ever done!" Jessica declares. Her grief takes her to London, where she meets and falls for a musician, Felix (Will Sharpe). "The show does a really good job of knowing what it is, but then also flipping it on its head. It has such an awareness of rom-com... But it also does have some rougher edges. That makes the sweeter aspects all the more powerful, because there's an honesty to it," Stalter told Netflix's Tudum. Adele Exarchopoulos, Adwoa Aboah, Andrew Rannells, Andrew Scott, Daisy Bevan, Dean-Charles Chapman, Janicza Bravo, Jennifer Saunders, Jessica Alba, Kaori Momoi, Kit Harington, Leo Reich, Michael Zegen, Prasanna Puwanarajah, Rhea Perlman, Richard E. Grant, Rita Ora, Rita Wilson and Stephen Fry also star. Andrew Scott, Jennifer Saunders, Kit Harington, Jessica Alba, and Rita Ora are all in Too Much? Say less! Netflix (@netflix) June 10, 2025 Stalter plays Kayla on the Max series Hacks, while Sharpe is known for portraying Ethan in The White Lotus Season 2.
