Looking for Adam Devine content, I came across a Reddit post stating that he and Andrew Rannells were bromantic partners. Plus a 2015 interview in PopSuger proclaiming that they are "Your New Favorite Comedy Duo,"
First question: wasn't Adam already involved with Zac Efron? How many men can a straight guy be in love with, and still identify as straight?
Second question: Andrew is gay, and has a boyfriend. Can a straight guy and a gay guy have a bromance? Regular platonic friendship, sure, but wouldn't an intense, passionate, physical relationship get weird? Surely the "we might be having gay sex, har har" jokes would be ruined if one of the guys was really having gay sex.
Third question: In what way were they a comedy duo? The PopSugar interview was about them starring together in The Intern (2015), featuring Robert DeNiro as an oldster who becomes a "senior intern" at an online women's clothing company. Andrew plays Cameron, the Vice President, who pitches the senior intern idea, and Adam plays Josh, an employee whom DeNiro helps with his (heterosexual) love life. They don't interact.
They also appeared together in Why Him (2015), known as The Boyfriend in French. Andrew plays Blaine Pederman, owner of an online greeting company (like greeting cards without the stamps), one of the guys hanging out with app billionaire and gay sex aficionado Tyson Modell (Adam); but they barely interact. Tyson spends more time falling in love with Scotty Fleming, son of the focus character.
Extensive research has yielded no evidence that Adam and Andrew had an off-screen frienddship. I think it was just an advertising stunt that some Reddit-ers took seriously.
