Adam DeVine.
Rodin Eckenroth/FilmMagicFrom “Magic” to “Right Round,” Perfect Pitchmale a cappella group the Treblemakers sang many hits in the 2012 comedy — but star Adam DeVine said one hit sticking out to him.
“My favorite song I sang in Perfect Pitch (with the Treblemakers) was ‘Don’t Stop the Music’ by Rihanna,” DeVine, 41, reveals exclusively in the latest edition of Us Weeklyon newsstands now. “I still have the whole dance memorized. I’m destroying karaoke with that one.”
The film – which also stars Anna Kendrick, Astin’s lark a Rebel Wilson — opens on DeVine (as Bumper) singing Rihanna’s 2007 hit alongside the Treblemakers at the International Collegiate A Capella Championship.
DeVine ends the song in a split, prompting ICCA commentator Gail Abernathy-McKadden (Elizabeth Banks) to exclaim, “Sexual man is splitting!” while her colleague John Smith (John Michael Higgins) replies, “His pain is our gain, Gail.”
And believe it! The cast of Pitch Perfect has an even tighter bond than the a cappella sisters they play on screen. OG stars Anna Kendrick, Rebel Wilson, Anna Camp, Brittany Snow, Alexis Knapp, Ester Dean, Hana Mae Lee, Kelley Jakle and Shelley Regner won over fans in Pitch Perfect 2012 as Barden Bellas from Barden University (…)
DeVine – who co-hosts the iHeartRadio podcast “This Is Important” with his Workaholics costars Anders Holm, Blake Anderson a Kyle Newachek – went on to star in the sequel, Perfect Pitch 2and a Peacock spinoff series based on his character, Perfect Pitch: Bumper in Berlin.
Keep scrolling for more fun facts from DeVine, including why he’s considering season 1 of Workaholics to be the proudest moment of his career:
1. My favorite song I sang in Perfect Pitch (with the Treblemakers) was Rihanna’s “Don’t Stop the Music”. I still have the whole dance memorized. I destroy karaoke with that one.
2. I used to collect Pez (distributors).
3. The most surprising thing I’ve learned since welcoming (my first child) Beau (last March) is that I don’t mind changing dirty diapers. It’s no big deal when it’s your son. I’ll do anything to help the lil homie. Perhaps the better question is what I haven’t learned. Becoming a parent really changes your perspective on life and turns your priorities upside down.
4. A cheeseburger and fries from In-N-Out is my favorite comfort food.
5. My first car was a 1993 Cavalier Convertible. It was white with red spray painted caps and a salvaged title!
6. My most impressive moment was a meeting Kobe Bryant backstage at some award show. I’m a basketball fan, and I didn’t know I’d see it. I lost my mind.
Karaoke is a beloved pastime for people all over the world—including some of Us Weekly’s favorite celebrities. Mindy Kaling, for one, nailed the spirit of karaoke in her 2011 book, Is Everyone Hanging Out With Me? “When most people sing karaoke, they think of themselves as contestants on American Idol, and they sing (…)
7. I could watch all three Lord of the Rings movies for the rest of my life.
8. Hatchet by Gary Paulsen is my favorite book.
9. Jennifer Love Hewitt was my famous crush growing up.
10. My alternative profession would be a radio DJ. I love comedy too much not to be able to do it in some way.
11. When I was still at school, I was great in passing periods. I was really glowing as I walked to the next class.
12. Growing up, I always thought Green Day was the coolest band.
13. Zac Efron this is probably the most famous person in my phone book. He’s so damn famous!
14. My dream colleague is Shaggy. I want to make a reggaeton album with him.
15. The proudest moment of my career was finishing season 1 of Workaholics. I knew I had just done something special with my best friends. I miss doing that show. I didn’t realize how good I had it.
16. My favorite way to spend the weekend is to take it easy with no plans. I’m at the age where a nice relaxing weekend sounds great.
17. I would like to travel more. This world is big and beautiful. I want to be on my deathbed and smile, knowing I saw it all.
18. I don’t binge watch TV shows — I enjoy them — but having said that, I re-watched Narcos: Mexico in three days.
Pitch Perfect hit theaters in 2012 and became an instant classic – and since then the cast has turned out two aca-amazing sequels. The original Bellas – including Beca (Anna Kendrick), Aubrey (Anna Camp), Chloe (Brittany Snow), Fat Amy (Rebel Wilson) and more – confirmed their place in the hearts of viewers early on before adding new (…)
19. My first job was as a bag boy in a grocery store.
20. I took a bath for maybe the third time in my adult life last week (and thought to myself), “Why haven’t I been doing this all along? It’s great.”
21. The childhood memory that makes me smile is fishing with my father. I hope to create those kinds of lasting memories with my son. I hope he doesn’t expect to catch anything, though—I’m a much worse fisherman than my father.
22. I learned how to act in a sitcom from working on it Modern Family. The dialogue is so fast and snappy — I learned how to keep it tight and accurate. I love that show so much.
23. I’m one hell of a hacky sacker.
24. The app I use the most is MyFitnessPal. By planning my week and tracking my food, I can stay accountable and keep my long-term health goals in mind without putting up obstacles – hello, beer! – discourage me. (This) is my year! I hope to finally have abs…in my 40’s.
25. My favorite place to go on holiday is Hawaii. I fell in love with it while shooting Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates.
