If you thought ghosting was just a dating thing, think again. Actor and comedian Adam Devine has revealed that Zac Efron completely ghosted him after asking to crash at his place… for two weeks.
Yes, really.
The Pitch Perfect and Workaholics star spilled the whole wild story on the “In Depth With Graham Bensinger” podcast, and it’s part hilarious, part baffling.
It started with a surprise call from Efron, totally out of the blue:
“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.’ And 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. 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 says he immediately told his wife Chloe Bridges that they were about to have a new house guest:
“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.’”
Then… nothing.
“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.”
What happened? Did Efron change his mind mid-flight? Forget? No one knows. Adam didn’t seem mad, just kind of hilariously bewildered by the whole thing.
It’s unclear whether the two former Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates co-stars have reconnected since, but based on Adam’s retelling, he’s keeping the beach house guest room open—just maybe not holding his breath this time.
We’ll keep our eyes peeled for Zac’s next move… or text.
