After being involved in a nearly fatal accident, actor Adam DeVine almost lost both of his legs. Since then, the actor has discussed the incident in public.
Adam DeVine, a multi-talented star in the entertainment industry, was born on November 7, 1983, in Waterloo, Iowa. He wed Chloe Bridges in 2021, and they are now married.
Despite having a successful career, if he hadn’t been involved in a nearly fatal car accident when he was a young man, he might not have gone into acting or comedy.
DeVine is a producer and writer, unlike his wife Chloe Bridges. Both “Workaholics” and “Adam Devine’s House Party,” two sitcoms he co-created, feature him as one of their stars.
”.
His work in “Pitch Perfect” and “Pitch Perfect 2,” two hugely successful blockbusters, is what made him most famous. He appeared alongside Rebel Wilson, Brittany Snow, Elizabeth Banks, and Skylar Astin in the movie Bumper. He also made an appearance on the venerable sitcom Modern Family. “The producer experienced childhood trauma before he became well-known.
On “Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard” in October 2019, Adam DeVine revealed that when he was 11 years old, he was struck by a cement truck. The occurrence took place in Omaha, Nebraska, where he and his family had just recently relocated. It was the summer before sixth grade, and he had just made some new friends.
On their way to the convenience store, DeVine and his friends experienced the unthinkable. He took one of his friends’ exclamation of “Come on!” as permission to cross the street while pulling a bicycle.
In the suburbs where I grew up, new homes were being constructed every day. Two cement trucks were coming down the hill at the same time as three other cement trucks, he said.
So, after the third vehicle passed on my side of the street while climbing the hill, I walked outside with my bicycle and was struck by the cement truck that was coming down the opposite side. Taken under the hood and spit out,” said DeVine.
Except for his right femur, everything from his waist down was broken. Then he tore all of my skin off and crushed everything from the knees down.
The actor was put into a medically induced coma for two weeks. When his lung collapsed, doctors discussed amputating his legs. According to him, he was in agonizing pain.
Even with all the drugs, it hurt a lot. ”.
DeVine was found in the hospital by his parents. His mother was at the zoo with her friends when she got a note at the concession stand asking her to call a certain number (he claimed there were no cell phones at the time), and that’s how they found out he was in the hospital.
After working the night shift, his father was dozing off at home. His home phone was called, but he did not answer and allowed the call to go to voice mail. Hearing what the person on the other end of the phone said, he hurried to the hospital to see his son.
DeVine claimed that between the sixth grade and his freshman year of high school, he underwent 26 operations.
He also couldn’t move, and in October 2019 he discussed his experience on “The Kelly Clarkson Show.”.
“I had to learn how to walk again.
I had to retrain my legs to walk again, which took two years.
My knees destroyed everything, and I had to relearn everything because I lost the muscle.
Nevertheless, DeVine recovered fully and kept his legs.
The actor claims that a bad experience is what led him into comedy.
He had to use a wheelchair after the incident, and he was ridiculed by others.
His father advised him to use words because he was unable to defend himself physically. He gave him instructions to think of funny things to say to them. No one could stop him after he took the advice and took off running.
DeVine, who experienced such a traumatic event as a child, now supports Children’s Miracle Network Hospital. He updated his Instagram followers on his story in November 2017 and shared a throwback image of himself in the hospital with them. He also shared his hospital experience.
