Although they may have been the youngest actors on the set Zack and Cody’s apartment lifeDylan and Cole Sprouse had a lot of power – and they wielded it responsibly.
Kim Rhodes, who played the twins’ mother in the hit Disney Channel series, shared the touching story of Dylan, now 31, as one of her “favorite memories” from her years Suite Life.
“I got pregnant while I was on the show and of course the show dealt with it by making fat jokes,” 54-year-old Rhodes recalled on Back to the best podcast. “And one of my favorite memories is that Dylan had a line that was a fat joke and he kept skipping over it. It was, like, in the middle of a piece of dialogue, so he kept skipping this laugh line.”
When they went to film a scene in front of a studio audience, Dylan, who played Zack on the show, jumped the line again, and the executive producer yelled at him from backstage.
“He goes ‘Cut! Dylan! Say a sentence!’ and [Dylan] he says: ‘I wouldn’t disparage any woman like that, let alone this woman. Write something funny and I’ll say it,’ Rhodes said. “That’s my little man.”
She added that both twins “defended me to the end”.

Rhodes went on to praise the twins for how “protective” they were of her and the rest of the cast – which included Ashley Tisdale and Brenda Song – and for their maturity on set.
“They got it—like, early, Phil [Lewis] it was like, ‘Look, you’re the only two people on this set who aren’t expendable, so you’re going to take the bullet, every time.’ And they took it so seriously,” she said. “The fact that they, at such a young age, understood that it was their job to make sure everyone else could do their job was really impressive.”
She added: “They were exceptional.”

“I often tell people when they say, ‘Oh, you don’t keep in touch?’ I said, ‘Think about your favorite teacher in high school. Think about your favorite teacher. As much as you love them, you’re probably not in touch with them yet.’ ”
Rhodes added that she follows their lives on social media and that her “heart is full.”
“If I ever saw any of them, I would hug them and sob with love and pride,” she said.
