Kim was pregnant at the time, and recalled: “Of course, the show dealt with it by making fat jokes. One of my favorite memories is that Dylan had a line that was a fat joke, and he kept skipping over it.”
And in a new interview, Dylan has given his version of events as he doubled down on his decision not to make the joke.
When quizzed on why he didn’t say the line, Dylan nonchalantly replied: “I just don’t really think fat jokes are funny. I think they’re just like… There’s a better joke somewhere else, unless you’re talking about yourself. Unless it’s self-referential, which I find is fun.”
Andy also asked how Dylan had the “confidence” to speak up at such a young age, to which Dylan quipped: “You’d be amazed at what having your own show at 11 will do for your confidence.”
Meanwhile, Suite Life was a huge success and ran until 2008. Dylan and Cole reprised the roles later that same year for the spin-off series The Suite Life on Deck, which ended three years later.
