Hollywood Star Opens Up About Fitness, Parenthood, and Superhero Dreams
Los Angeles, CA – Fans were left stunned by Adam Devine’s dramatic weight loss, but the real reason behind his transformation is more surprising than expected.
In a recent interview, the Pitch Perfect and Workaholics star revealed that his fitness journey was fueled by two major factors: fatherhood and a lighthearted dream of joining the Marvel or DC Universe.
“I Wanted to Be Ready If Marvel Called”
Devine, known for his comedic chops and lovable on-screen presence, jokingly suggested that his weight loss was a strategic move in case Hollywood’s biggest studios needed him for a superhero role.
“I’m not trying to get super ripped, but I want to be in a place where, if Marvel or DC calls, I don’t have to say, ‘Give me a year.’”
He even mentioned James Gunn, the creative mind behind Guardians of the Galaxy and DC’s latest films, as someone he’d love to work with.
“If James Gunn calls and says, ‘Hey, we need you for a role,’ I can say, ‘Alright, I’m ready in a few months!’”
The “Sympathy Weight” Struggle During Pregnancy
Beyond the superhero jokes, Devine opened up about an unexpected challenge: gaining weight alongside his wife, actress Chloe Bridges, during her pregnancy.
“It was wild. Chloe was eating for two because, well, she was growing a human. But I was eating like I was too! I gained more weight than she did—28 pounds, while she only gained 26.”
Devine admitted that he didn’t notice the weight creeping up until he saw himself in the mirror.
“I felt like a cartoon version of myself. It didn’t feel like me anymore.”
How He Turned Things Around
Realizing he needed to make a change, Devine prioritized a healthier lifestyle, including:
✅ Balanced eating habits (no more pregnancy cravings!)
✅ Consistent workouts (without extreme dieting)
✅ Mindful self-care (staying fit but still enjoying life)
Could Hollywood’s Funniest Star Become an Action Hero?
While Devine is known for his comedy roles, fans have often imagined him taking on unexpected action-comedy roles, much like Chris Pratt did with Star-Lord.
Whether or not he lands a superhero role, Devine’s transformation is proof that balance, self-awareness, and a little humor can go a long way in any fitness journey.
