Hire Adam Devine For Your Event
Adam Devine Fun Facts…
Was born in Iowa but raised in Nebraska.
He graduated from Millard South High School in Omaha, Nebraska.
He attended Orange Coast College along with friend and fellow Workaholics cast member Blake Anderson.
Moved to Los Angeles to be a stand-up comedian.
DeVine and the other Workaholics co-creators (Blake Anderson, Anders Holm, and Kyle Newacheck) formed the sketch-comedy group Mail Order Comedy.
His mother is named Penny.
Has an younger sister named Brittani DeVine.
Lived in the house that Workaholics is filmed in originally with Blake Anderson and Kyle Newacheck. The house is now used for filming.
Is a close friend of Pitch Perfect co-stars Brittany Snow and Skylar Astin.
His father’s ancestry is one half Dutch, three eighths Irish, and one eighth German.
Had a horrific accident in 1995 when he was 11. He was hit by a 42-tonne cement truck and broke all the bones in his legs. It took him 2 years before he could fully walk again.
For his role in Modern Family, Adam played a character 10 years younger than his actual age.
Has played 2 characters called Andy for Disney: Modern Family (2009) and Magic Camp.
Has played a love interest to Rebel Wilson 4 times: Workaholics (2011), Pitch Perfect(2012), Pitch Perfect 2 (2015) and Isn’t It Romantic (2019).
Very close to his Modern Family co-star Sarah Hyland.
Was in a relationship with Pitch Perfect co-star, Kelley Jakle, from 2012-2014. As of April 2018, Adam is in a relationship with actress Chloe Bridges, whom he met on set of The Final Girls (2014).
Became close with Zac Efron after starring as brothers in Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates. So much so, that they consider themselves brothers.
Seldom shows his legs because he required extensive skin grafting on his legs following his accident, which resulted in brutal scarring, swelling and discoloration that can rarely be covered with make-up.
Back when he was a teenager and still living in Omaha, he worked at the grocery store that About Schmidt (2002) was filmed at. He was kicked off the set because he couldn’t stop starring at Jack Nicholson and making sure his face was on camera.
Before doing the audition for Pitch Perfect, he thought the movie was about baseball and was doing warm-up exercises in the parking lot and rubbing himself with dirt for a more realistic baseball playing character.
Adam Devine Quotes…
-Even as a kid, I was a businessman. I figured out that if you plucked all the berries off my neighbor’s tree and smashed them up, they made a Nickelodeon Gak-type consistency. I sold them to all the neighborhood kids and made stacks of quarters. Of course, the berries were poisonous, and I got in all types of trouble.
-I sang the National Anthem at Dodger Stadium – at a baseball game – which was crazy; there was, like, 60,000 people there, which is a huge deal in America – singing the National Anthem.
-I always wanted to be a comedic voice actor – that’s what I wanted from the job – to do comedy and to create my own comedy. But I still love doing stand-up and will probably be doing it forever. I’d love to be an old guy who can’t really walk, can’t really stand-up, and I have to sit on the stool and tell jokes.
Jealousy is the worst trait in any person.
-That’s another piece of advice: Don’t go to college; follow your dreams. Unless you’re a doctor – then go to college.
-I still haven’t found the humor in getting hit by a cement truck. My knees still hurt when I think about it, so no jokes about that yet.
-Be yourself. I had this three-week period where I wore this straw fedora. I thought it was what chicks wanted. And then it dawned on me that I was trying to be something that I wasn’t, so I took the fedora off. So be yourself.
-People want to be friends with someone who likes to have a good time.
-I loved Adam Sandler’s early stuff. I thought it was so cool how irreverent and weird he would get.
-I tried out for my basketball team every year and I never made it. You had to buy the shoes before you knew if you were on the team because it took a few weeks for them to ship. I bought the shoes every year, never once made the team, had a ton of high school basketball shoes.
-In a perfect world, I would like to do as many seasons of ‘Workaholics’ as possible, as long as people still like the show and Comedy Central will still have us. And doing movies, writing my own movies and doing movies with my friends. I think that would be such a dream to be someone like Will Ferrell or Ben Stiller. –
-I always wanted to be a stand-up comedian, even as a kid. Me and my dad would watch ‘Evening at the Improv’ on A&E.
-After ‘Pitch Perfect,’ I only want to be in sequels. No. 2 of whatever.
-If you like stand up and decide that it’s overtaking your life and want to hate it, watch 1,000 stand up comedians who are trying to get on a TV show.
-I don’t really write jokes down. I tend to have a premise that I work out and test on stage.
-I sold steaks over the phone in Omaha, Nebraska. Marbling, fantastic. That’s what makes a great steak; a lot of people don’t know.
-I’m such a huge ‘Arrested Development’ fan.
-When telemarketers call me now, I won’t get the blow-horn. I’m more polite than the average person.
-I don’t want any competition; I’ve finally made it! I don’t want any young bucks knocking me off and taking my job, so stay in school! Stay in school and get a nice job working in an office!
-I’m not a good rapper. For whatever reason, my brain does not work that way. I just do the beginning, like, ‘Yeah, yeah! Ha ha! Woo! What up? Come on! Get at me!’ I’m Captain Hook.
-When I auditioned for ‘Pitch Perfect,’ I didn’t know it was a singing movie. I didn’t read the script. I go to the audition, and I’m like, ‘Oh, it’s a baseball movie.’ But then I’m reading the lines, and I’m like, ‘This doesn’t seem like a baseball movie.’
-There’s two things in life, in order to be successful, that you need. That is, the ability to smile through adversity and laugh through the pain, and also be able to work harder than anyone you know.
