Zac Efron Ghosts Adam DeVine: A Tale of Friendship Gone Awry

Buckle up, folks; we’re diving into a celebrity soap opera that’s more perplexing than a plot twist in a rom-com! Yes, you read that right—Adam DeVine, the lovable goofball from “The Righteous Gemstones,” recently spilled the tea on his rather unfortunate friendship predicament with none other than Zac Efron. Picture this: a phone call from your “good friend” after years of radio silence, followed by an offer to crash at your beach house. What could go wrong? Spoiler alert: everything!
In a candid moment on the “In Depth with Graham Bensinger” podcast, DeVine recounted how Efron, the heartthrob from “High School Musical,” called him out of the blue, professing his affection with a nostalgic, “I miss you.” Cue the tears, right? But just when you think this friendship is on the mend, Efron drops the bombshell: he wants to come and stay for two weeks! DeVine, clearly thrilled, eagerly opens his doors. What ensues is a classic case of “ghosting” that would make any relationship expert cringe. Efron, after his initial enthusiasm, simply vanished into thin air, leaving DeVine in a state of bewilderment.
Imagine waiting for your friend to show up, only to realize you’ve been left on read! DeVine even went so far as to send a follow-up text, “Are you gonna stay here?” but alas, the silence was deafening. Six months of radio silence later, and DeVine still has no clue what happened. It’s the kind of plot twist that makes you question everything you thought you knew about Hollywood friendships.
But hold onto your popcorn—this isn’t just a story about two former co-stars. It’s a vivid reminder that even the most glamorous lives can be riddled with the same drama we mere mortals face. DeVine and Efron, who lit up the screen together in “Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates,” still share a text chain with their co-stars Anna Kendrick and Aubrey Plaza, occasionally reminiscing about their hijinks. So, while Efron may have ghosted DeVine, at least he’s not totally off the grid—just selectively ignoring his buddy’s hospitality.
What can we learn from this? Perhaps a lesson in communication, or maybe that some friendships are as fleeting as a summer fling. One thing’s for sure: if you’re going to make plans with your pals, make sure to follow through—or risk becoming the subject of the next podcast saga.
Class dismissed. Remember, even in the world of glitz and glamour, communication is key!
