Adam Devine is reliving one of the most traumatic moments of his life.
The Pitch Perfect star has opened up about being hit by a cement truck as a child on the latest episode of Conan O’Brien Needs A Friend, revealing the accident left him in a wheelchair for two years.
While the actor has spoken about the incident before, this time he’s showed the camera the physical scars he’s had to come to terms with over the past few decades.

Before revealing the scars on his leg, Devine checked with O’Brien and his cohosts Sona Movsesian and Matt Gourley if they were “squeamish”.
After getting the all-clear, he lifted his leg to reveal scarring that ran the entire length of his right shin.

As the rest of the group expressed their shock, Devine quickly jumped in to lighten the mood with a joke, saying, “it looks like uncooked chicken, but it is my leg”.
“That’s skin grafts,” he explained, adding that the accident “broke everything from the knee down.”
“They had to reconstruct my legs, and then my left femur, and then some ribs and a punctured lung and I was bleeding out of my ears.”

The Righteous Gemstones star shared that he was put in a medically induced coma for several weeks before moving to a wheelchair for two years.
Devine explained there was one cement truck driving up a hill and two down and when his friend on the other side of the road called out, “Come on”, he understood it as his friend signalling that the coast was clear from his side.

”I walk out after the first cement truck passed, because I couldn’t see the other side of the street, and [I] was hit,” he said.
“I was hit in one county and landed in another because the road was the dividing line between the counties.”
