Cole Sprouse (of Riverdale and Camera Duels fame, of course) is out and about as he promotes his latest project, the Diablo Cody-written horror comedy, Lisa Frankenstein—and he's reflecting on the nostalgia of his past projects, too. Long before his Riverdale days, Cole starred alongside his twin brother Dylan Sprouse on the fan-favorite Disney Channel sitcom The Suite Life of Zack and Cody. In conversation with Entertainment Tonight, the actor reacted to his former co-star Kim Rhodes' viral Back to the Best podcast interview where she talked about their time on the show.
ICYMI, Kim—who played Dylan and Cole's mom on the series—reflected on a moment where Dylan defended her from a Disney Channel exec who wrote a fatphobic joke targeted at her character. "One of my favorite memories is Dylan had a line that was a fat joke, and he kept skipping over it [during rehearsal]," she dished. "It was like in the middle of a chunk of dialogue. So, he kept skipping this laugh line and skipping it and skipping and skipping it."
During the show's live recording, he ended up skipping the line to the Disney Channel exec's dismay. Kim explained that although he was a kid at the time, he wasted no time in defending her. "[Dylan] goes, 'I would not disrespect any woman that way, let alone this woman. You write something funny and I'll say it.'"
When ET's Ash Crossan brought up the anecdote to Cole, the Lisa Frankenstein star admitted that he "doesn't remember too much" from his Disney days. "Yeah, I mean, honestly a lot of the cast and crew I still talk to from Suite Life. I think when you spend eight years with a crew inside a soundstage, it's kind of inevitable you guys become a little bit of a family," Cole told the outlet. "That's very nice of her to say that. If I'm being fully honest, when you shoot that many episodes of a show, they kind of all blend together as one big amorphous memory. So, I don't really remember too much of that period."
He added, "The specific details are kind of lost. It was a different time. I love Kim. I'm glad to hear that she looks back on all that fun."
Now, I'm sure we're all wondering... will we get an *official* Suite Life reunion sometime soon? We want to witness more moments sweeter than the Tiption's candy bar, tyvm.
