Actors Dylan and Cole Sprouse, known for their roles on Disney’s “The Suite Life of Zack & Cody,” recently shared an amusing anecdote of their minimal reaction to meeting prestigious actor Matt Damon. Confessedly, they were addicted to the popular video game, “World of Warcraft.” The hilarious recollection was conveyed by Cole during his recent appearance on the radio show “Let’s Talk Off Camera With Kelly Ripa.”
The Sprouse Twins’ World of Warcraft Obsession
During his appearance on Let’s Talk Off Camera With Kelly Ripa , Cole Sprouse recounted how he and his twin brother were so engrossed in playing World of Warcraft during their off-camera school time that they were unwilling to be disturbed, even by an Oscar winner.
An Unforeseen Visitor
Cole shed light upon an incident where they got a surprise visit by Matt Damon during their gaming session. It turned out that Damon’s children were big fans of “The Suite Life of Zack & Cody,” and the actor wished to surprise them.
Unfazed by Damon’s Presence
The twins, being deeply involved in their game, reacted amusingly to Damon’s presence. “I remember Dylan and I turning to each other and just going, ‘Ugh. I can’t believe we have to get off World of Warcraft right now,'” he said. They barely took their eyes off the screen to greet Damon, much to the surprise of their co-workers who were awestruck by the actor’s presence.
Reflection and An Apology
The ‘Lisa Frankenstein’ actor admitted that their indifference to Damon’s visit was reflective of their childlike focus on their game. “We were like, ‘Yeah, yeah. Hey man. If I ever meet Matt Damon again, I’m just going to say ‘I’m sorry’ and it’ll be all good”, he added with a laugh.
