Dylan Sprouse is a person of many skills. It’s possible you’ll know him as Zack from “The Suite Lifetime of Zack and Cody”, however this Sprouse twin has come a great distance from his days as a wildly well-known Disney channel star. Simply launched immediately was Dylan’s newest movie, Banana Cut up, the place he performs the position of Nick alongside actor and creator of the script, Hannah Marks (April). The film tracks the difficult friendship of two highschool ladies who try to navigate the mess of a love triangle they’ve tangled themselves in with—you guessed it—Dylan’s heartthrob of a personality.
I used to be fortunate sufficient to get the chance to chat with Dylan on the cellphone this week in regards to the movie, his oblivion to his clout within the trend world, the largest model variations between him and his twin brother, Cole, and way more. Dylan is understood for taking up quite a lot of initiatives from music movies to modeling, and immediately, we bought to interrupt down all of his aspects and listen to first-hand what he thinks about every.
I simply watched Banana Cut up final night time and cherished it. How did you grow to be concerned within the venture as a result of I do know you filmed it a short while in the past, proper?
Yeah, this was some time in the past. It is was virtually three years in the past and I grew to become concerned in it when the script was circulating across the company and creating a little bit little bit of buzz. By some means it landed on my desk and once I learn by it, it actually bashed my expectations about what I believed this “rom-com” could be. It was tremendous fast, enjoyable, and a comedic leak, so I used to be intrigued by it. I expressed curiosity in taking part in Nick and we simply all hit it off and the following factor I knew I used to be up in Syracuse with them filming. It was a very nice old-fashioned approach of conducting enterprise to go movie a film.
What was it like being in highschool once more for this movie? Was this character something like the way you had been in highschool or under no circumstances?
Properly, I had a really distinctive highschool expertise being that it was just about simply my brother and I in a room collectively. However I’ve had loads of expertise with public faculty and I’ve had loads of expertise with dorming and faculty life and all of that.
I feel what’s most essential although about that character (Nick) is that I had loads of expertise being an 18-year-old man and I really feel like that is essential to Nick as he is looking for his place and take care of the heartbreak of April on the identical time and attempting to know and determine what he wants and desires.
Appearing clearly is not your solely ardour from what I learn about you. You run a meadery, you grew up appearing and clearly nonetheless are, you mannequin, you’ve got even been in music movies. So I am curious what’s it that originally attracts you to a venture?
It sounds a little bit cliché, however I have a tendency to simply go the place the enjoyable is and actually I simply dissect it from a degree of whether or not or not it will be a enjoyable time to work with these individuals. I base loads of these items on the preliminary dialog. However when it comes to movies, at the very least, it is type of depending on the character, primarily—if it is one thing completely different from what I’ve performed earlier than or if it looks as if it will be fascinating side-by-side to different work that I do. Then additionally it actually comes right down to a superb script. If I just like the script or I like the thought of the venture that I am engaged on, I will do it.
So are you conscious that you’ve got grow to be a trend icon nowadays?
Am I?
Yeah.
No, I am not.
How would you say that your model has advanced through the years as you’ve got grow to be extra intertwined within the trade?
I’ve actually grow to be extra snug in my very own pores and skin and I’ve leaned into loads of what I like on first intuition. I spotted that when it comes to issues that I put on and even manufacturers that I am sporting, I will normally go into the becoming room and once I come out the individuals styling shall be like, “Oh actually?” And I will say, “Yeah.” They usually’ll be like, “Okay, I have never seen somebody try this earlier than.”
I am attempting to deliver my very own character to it. I feel what’s fascinating—actually on the coronary heart of what is fascinating for model and trend—is seeing what individuals can do with it and seeing how they carry their very own selves into it. I feel that is what I actually grew to become snug with in the previous few years.

We do tend to put on stuff that is a little bit bit Western and we do attempt to incorporate that and so it is loads of workwear combined in; various stuff.
Cole undoubtedly is best at using materials than I’m, if we’re entering into the nitty-gritty. He is bought an actual eye for thrifting too, which I do not essentially have. If I’m going for thrift, I will go for one thing that has a nostalgia to me, the place Cole will discover one thing that is good, really. However the principle variations are in all probability colours, even. You possibly can see, we simply put on very completely different shade palettes and that appears to be a pattern. I have a tendency to love stuff that nearly appears to be like a little bit bit medieval or gothic, or a little bit extra rock and roll the place Cole will go a little bit extra like cozy boy and a little bit extra workwear shit.
