Dylan Sprouse made a surprising discovery about his family history, leading him to joke that he and twin brother Cole Sprouse are “children of incest.”The Suite Life of Zack & Cody alum shared the story during the Oct. 20 episode of his Wildmen podcast, where he discussed the number of twins in his family and how his parents’ family lines might connect.According to the actor, his mother’s relatives have seven sets of twins across four generations. Then he became suspicious after learning that his father’s uncles were also identical twins, leading him to speculate that his parents’ family lines might connect.2020 Vanity Fair Oscar Party Hosted By Radhika Jones - Arrivals - Source: GettyDylan Sprouse also shared the discovery with twin brother Cole Sprouse, who reportedly dismissed it and hung up.Following the revelation of his theory, social media lit up with various reactions from online users.“The sick life of Zach & Cody,” an X/Twitter user wrote, referencing the actor’s breakout series.“This is honestly more common than yall even know.

The discovery led him to wonder whether the two sides of his family had a shared history. Dylan said of his theory:“The reason we have a lot of twins is because it’s the same family.”The actor then decided to share his findings with Cole, recalling how he called his twin brother and showed him a picture.“I called Cole, and I showed him a picture,” Dylan said. “And was like, ‘Dude, I just found out some f****** crazy s***.’”Cole Sprouse, however, was apparently less interested in investigating their ancestry. According to Dylan Sprouse, his brother responded:“Not looking at that.”Dylan Sprouse ended the story with a provocative punchline, joking:“Long story short, Cole and I are children of incest.”The actor’s comments were made humorously while discussing the family tree. The podcast account did not establish that the brothers are the result of incest, and the discovery of multiple sets of twins alone does not prove that the two sides of their family are closely related.
