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.

Elon Musk Dragged After Programming Grok To Claim He's 'More Fit' Than LeBron James

Billionaire Elon Musk was widely mocked after X users discovered he'd programmed his AI chatbot Grok to praise his physique by saying he's "fitter than" basketball star LeBron James.

Musk is actually on record saying that he wouldn't exercise if he could, that he's not been consistent meeting with his personal trainer, and that he would "rather eat tasty food and live a shorter life." But to hear Grok tell it, Musk is more fit than one of the top basketball players on the planet—and smarter than some of humanity's greatest minds.
