Kim Rhodes’ Favorite Moment From The Disney Channel Show
Appearing on the Disney Channel show, The Suite Life of Zack & Cody, Kim Rhodes stole glances with her role as Cole and Dylan Sprouse’s onscreen mother. Having a fun time on the set with her co-stars, Rhodes recalled one of her favorite moments involving the twins.
During an episode of the Back to the Best podcast, Kim Rhodes mentioned one of her “favorite memories” from the show occurred during her pregnancy. Expecting her daughter with her husband Travis Hodges, in real life, the actress opened up about how her body changed.
“I got pregnant when I was on the show, and of course, the show dealt with it by making fat jokes. One of my favorite memories is Dylan had a line that was a fat joke, and he just kept skipping over it.”
Concerned about her weight gain and physique, Kim Rhodes was already nervous. However, the actress mentioned that her nervousness went away when Dylan Sprouse took a stand for her. Discussing how there was a fat joke included in the show because of her weight gain, Rhodes mentioned Sprouse refused to say it.
Dylan Sprouse Defended Kim Rhodes Over a Fat Joke
Defending Kim Rhodes throughout the show and especially during her pregnancy, Dylan Sprouse proved to be a real gentleman at a very young age. Speaking about the time in particular, the actress mentioned how the twins took care of her while filming. But the thing that stood out was when Dylan Sprouse refused to make fun of her.
“It was like in the middle of a chunk of dialogue, so he kept skipping this laugh line and skipping it and skipping it and skipping it. Finally, we get to in front of the studio audience, and he skips it.”
Realizing what Dylan Sprouse was doing, Kim Rhodes recalled how the producer tried forcing him to “say the line”. But the young star refused to say it, every time. And eventually, Sprouse spoke up and turned down the producer. Rhodes recalled how he made his point clear.
“He goes, ‘I would not disrespect any woman that way, let alone this woman. You write something funny and I’ll say it.’ That’s my little man. They’re both my little men.”
After the show ended, Cole and Dylan Sprouse went ahead to reprise their role in the spinoff series, The Suite Life on Deck. But unfortunately, Kim Rhodes never returned alongside the twins. The actress got busy with other projects.
