Cole Sprouse is opening up about how child stardom affected him and his twin brother, Dylan. The Sprouse brothers were 12 when “The Suite Life of Zack & Cody” premiered on Disney Channel in 2005.
“When we talk about child stars going nuts, what we’re not actually talking about is how fame is a trauma,” Sprouse continued. “So I’m violently defensive against people who mock some of the young women who were on the channel when I was younger because I don’t feel like it adequately comprehends the humanity of that experience and what it takes to recover.
“And, to be quite honest, as I have now gone through a second big round of this fame game as an adult, I’ve noticed the same psychological effects that fame yields upon a group of young adults as I did when I was a child. I just think people have an easier time hiding it when they’re older.”Few Disney executives have had the kind of staying power and influence of Gary Marsh, who joined the Disney Channel in the late 1980s.
On the brink of turning 30, Sprouse stars in the new film “Moonshot,” an HBO Max rom-com also starring “To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before” alum Lana Condor.after which he’ll be free to explore even more film and TV projects — just don’t ask him to participate in a “Suite Life” revival.“Not that I have a problem with other people doing the reboots thing. I’m just a big believer that if something is beautiful in the past, you should let it stay beautiful,” he added.
