Aubrey Plaza previously opened up about the devastating stroke she experienced at 20 years old that left her unable to communicate. When discussing the connection she had with her "Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates" co-star, Adam Devine, Plaza revealed that they both suffered from "major health crises" when they were younger. "I had expressive aphasia, where I could understand what's happening, but I couldn't talk or communicate," she told The Guardian in 2016, adding, "When they gave me a piece of paper and a pen I just kept writing lines instead of words. But at least I could walk. When it first happened to me I was paralyzed, but I was so young that my brain healed itself really fast. I was really lucky in that way." Following Plaza's medical setback, she went on to intern at "Saturday Night Live," and later began her acting career.

Similarly, Devine has openly discussed the tragic incident that happened to him when he was only 11 years old. In an episode of "Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard," the "Workaholics" actor detailed an incident that saw him get hit by a cement truck, resulting in the need for 26 surgeries. Devine further explained that after the incident he was forced to write jokes about his peers to defend himself, as he was incapable of physically fighting back.
