Former Disney Star Cole Sprouse Reveals Twin Brother Dylan Was A 'Huge Bully' At School

The 'Zack & Cody' star admitted his twin brother used to 'beat people up' during elementary and middle school in a recent interview for the 'Call Her Daddy' podcast.

During a podcast appearance on Wednesday, Cole Sprouse disclosed his twin brother Dylan was a "big bully" in school.

The Sprouse twins rose to fame in Hollywood at the young age of six after starring as Adam Sandler's son in the 1999 film Big Daddy. They became household names as stars of The Suite Life of Zack & Cody on the Disney Channel from 2005-2008 followed by Suite Life On Deck from 2008-2011 and The Suite Life Movie in 2011.


The brothers were juggling their acting jobs and school at the time.

Cole recalls they were both not great humans, but "Dylan specifically was a huge bully."

“He would beat them up! And then I became known as the twin that would come up and be like ‘I’m so sorry for my brother'.”

Dylan has owned up to his status as a bully and Cole didn't seem to think outing Dylan as a bully would cause any problems.

Dylan told the New York Daily News in 2020 he was a bully.

“I was not a good kid...I was always in trouble. And I was dealing with a lot of stuff at home that I was bringing to school and taking out on other people. And it wasn’t until I was kind of… in a nurturing environment where I became a much better person, for lack of a better way to describe it."

People commenting on Twitter weren't fans of Cole Sprouse calling out his twin.







Dylan Sprouse hasn't commented on his brother's podcast appearance as of this writing.

Before cameras, courtroom sketch artists served a purpose. Even now, a sketch artist can provide visuals to accompany reporting of trials when no other form of recording during court sessions is allowed.

The artists try to stay close to what the defendant, witnesses, and everyone else look like, but they can sometime veer into the caricature, as Luigi Mangione has found during his heavily publicized court appearances.

Yesterday, ABC said it was suspending Kimmel’s show “indefinitely” after conservatives charged the longtime host with misrepresenting the politics of the man accused of killing Kirk.

During a 2016 presidential debate, former Democratic Secretary of State Hillary Clinton brought up how Trump claimed Emmy voting was rigged when The Apprentice failed to win an award after two nominations.
