It’s well known at this point that Disney Channel is very particular about the image its stars have. Disney stars have repeatedly spoken out about how controlled and restrictive their time with Disney was to maintain their image of family-friendly entertainment. Consequently, after their time working with the Walt Disney Company has come to an end, many actors and singers are coming out and revealing many realities that may shock some fans considering their prior Disney reputations. The latest news is that former Disney star from The Suite Life of Zack and Cody, Cole Sprouse, appeared on the podcast “Call Her Daddy” and had some “cringey” revelations about his past actions.

Sprouse, who started his career as a child actor in baby diaper commercials, landed roles very early on in his career, with a role as Ben Geller, Ross Geller’s son, in Friends, or Julian McGrath Big Daddy, and then shot to fame for his role with twin brother Dylan Sprouse on Disney Channel’s The Suite Life of Zack and Cody. The twins reprised these roles for the spinoff, The Suite Life on Deck, and Cole Sprouse, in particular, then found success on Riverdale.
Recently, Cole Sprouse appeared on the podcast, Call Her Daddy, and had a long conversation with host Alex Coper about his previous relationships, his family, career, and more, and during that conversation, it came to light that Sprouse lost his virginity at the age of 14 in a way that he describes as “so cringey.”

Cole Sprouse revealed on the podcast,
I was 14 when I lost my virginity, so this is still bowl cut guy, right…I was on a family trip in Florida, and I met this girl who was older, all right, so that’s already dubious, and the first night we kinda made out…We were on some chaise lounges, and I looked at her and my heart was beating, and I finally mustered up enough courage to deliver a line that my brother has never let live down for me. I looked at her, and I was like, ‘So, uh, are you like DTF?’ And she goes, ‘What?’ And I go, ‘You know, down to f—?’
After this, Sprouse says he became a “serial monogamist.”
During his appearance on the “Call Her Daddy” podcast, Cole Sprouse also revealed some heartbreaking realities about his breakup with Riverdale costar Lili Reinhart and more on the Lili Reinhart relationship, his struggles with his mother’s addiction, supporting his family, and that he was exploited for money and fame.
