Dylan Sprouse Praised for Refusing to Say Offensive Joke on 'Suite Life'

Co-star Kim Rhodes reveals Sprouse's stand against a scripted weight joke during her pregnancy on the show.

Dylan Sprouse, former child star of 'The Suite Life of Zack & Cody,' is being praised by co-star Kim Rhodes for refusing to say an offensive joke about her weight on the show.
Rhodes, who played the mother of Dylan and Cole Sprouse's characters on the Disney Channel sitcom, revealed that Dylan pushed back against a scripted joke about her weight when she was pregnant during the show's run.
Despite being only 12 years old when the show premiered in 2005, Rhodes said the Sprouse twins took their responsibility as stars seriously and tried to protect everyone on set whenever they could.
Rhodes shared that both the twins 'defended me all the way through,' and were very protective of everyone on set, understanding at a young age that it was their job to make sure everybody else was able to do their job.
The Suite Life of Zack & Cody ran for three seasons from 2005 to 2008 and spawned a spin-off series, The Suite Life on Deck, which aired for three seasons from 2008 to 2011.
