‘They told me I was dying’: One month before his son was born actor Adam Devine received a grim diagnosis
You would think an accident you had as a child wouldn’t have much of an impact on your adult life, but the opposite is the case for actor Adam Devine.
The Pitch Perfect star opened up on the In Depth with Graham Besinger podcast, revealing the past few years have “been a nightmare” in terms of his health.
Devine shared that things got so bad, his doctors believed he was dying.
“I was having spasms all over, and I still kind do,” Devine shared.
“They don’t really know [why], for a while they told me I was dying. Literally within this last year they told me that.”
Devine went on to explain that his doctors thought he had stiff person syndrome, a condition with a life expectancy of “six years”.
“They told me I had that literally a month before my son Beau was born,” he said.
Devine’s doctors referred him to a stiff person syndrome specialist, who told the actor he definitely didn’t have the disease.
“He [was] like, ‘this is from your accident from when you were a child’,” he shared.
The Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates star opened up about his childhood accident back in 2016 in an interview with Entertainment Weekly, sharing that when he was 11 years old he was hit by a cement truck.

As he was leaving a shop, one of Devine’s friends across the road yelled out “come on”, which Devine took as his friend confirming there were no cars coming.
As he walked across the road with his bike, he was struck by an oncoming cement truck.
“They say the reason I lived was the bike took the hit first,” he said.
“I still slid 500 feet. Picked me up under the first two wheels and then spit me out.”
Following the accident the star underwent 25 surgeries, and is still today feeling the impact of his injuries.
“It hurts to sit for too long, it hurts to stand for too long, it hurts to walk for too long,” he told Besinger.
“I have to foam roll two or three times a day, I have to stretch two or three times a day.”
Devine thinks working out during the pandemic is what triggered his injuries to flare up.
“I think I just got so tight and so tightly wound, and my body has all these things that are a little wonky and a little wrong with it, that I just sort of snapped,” he said.
“I think I’m still dealing with it, but it’s been three years now.”
