Adam Devine, who played Bumper in the Pitch Perfectfilm franchise and the spinoff TV series, Pitch Perfect: Bumper in Berlin, revealed in a new interview that he has been dealing with a "nightmare" health crisis.
The actor opened up about the personal ordeal on an episode of the show In Depth With Graham Bensinger, starting by saying, "It's been a nightmare." Host Graham Bensinger asked him to talk about the situation, leading Devine to admit that doctors "don't really know" what's going on.

"I was having spasms all over and I still kind of do," he went on, before revealing just how serious it got as he said, "For a while, they told me I was dying. Literally, within this last year, they told me that."
Devine said that doctors initially believed he had the neurological disorder stiff person syndrome, which Celine Dion suffers from, telling Bensinger, "Essentially, the average life expectancy is six years for someone that has that. They told me that I had that, literally, a month before my son Beau was born.” Devine welcomed his first child with his wife Chloe Bridges last year.
The doctors went back and forth on whether or not they thought he had stiff person syndrome before one of the leading experts on the disorder told him definitively that he did not, and that his condition was likely a long-term effect of a childhood accident when he was reportedly hit by a cement truck that left him with "all the bones" broken in one leg.
The stiff person expert told Devine, "The spasms are a little unexplainable, but it could just be you got so tight that your body doesn’t know what to do with it, so you’re misfiring a little bit."
As for Devine's personal theory, he noted that he worked out "constantly" during the pandemic, doing cycling and CrossFit, and he thought that all of this physical activity and his body having "all these things that are a little wonky, a little wrong with it,” came together and his body “just sorta snapped.”
While Devine said that he still doesn't know exactly what caused the issue and he still suffers symptoms, taking actions daily to help the strain, he said, "I’m the best I’ve been now for the past three years. I’m the best right now, I think, is the best I’ve been.”
