# At UMD, Dylan Sprouse Shares His ‘Sweet’ Life Post-Disney

*Dylan Sprouse SEE 03122024 RS 2800 1920x1080 — Former “Suite Life with Zack and Cody” star Dylan Sprouse scintillated the Stamp last night in a Q and A for a roomful of UMD fans (below).*

Why was Dylan Sprouse at the University of Maryland on Tuesday night?

Was it to titillate the student body, who grew up with—and crushed on—him and his twin brother Cole on Disney Channel’s juggernaut “The Suite Life With Zack and Cody”? Was he promoting his film “Beautiful Wedding,” which debuted on Netflix in January? Did he dish on his protein-packed yogurt brand, Thor’s Skyr, his foray into comic books, or his brief stint as a Brooklyn-based mead master (arguably the most hipster moniker ever conceived)?

As it turns out, he may have just wanted to experience the College Park bar scene.

“I’m sorry if I seem tired, I had one too many Guinesses at Looney’s last night,” he joked as he greeted a packed, mostly female audience in the Adele H. Stamp’s Grand Ballroom.

The Q&A, hosted by the University of Maryland’s Student Entertainment Events (SEE), was Sprouse’s first visit to College Park—and first event ever on a college campus. For the hundreds of students in attendance who grew up with the Sprouses on “Suite Life” (and its sequel, “The Suite Life on Deck”), it was a chance to see what’s he’s been up to since.
