Dylan Sprouse tackles intruder in terrifying home invasion

Dylan Sprouse allegedly tackled a trespasser at his Hollywood Hills home in the early morning hours on Friday.

The 33-year-old actor reportedly held the intruder at gunpoint until the authorities arrived on the scene just shortly after midnight. The former Disney star was shaken up but did not suffer any injuries, a source told TMZ. 

His wife Barbara Palvin — who opened up about her health struggles last year — was also reportedly home at the time of the incident and was the one to call 911 to report the intruder. 

In footage obtained by the outlet, the suspect was seen being handcuffed and taken away by police outside of his estate.  The outlet reported that the couple did not want the alleged intruder booked for trespassing. 

Instead, the Los Angeles Police Department arrested the suspect for warrants.

Sprouse previously bought the four-bedroom, two-bathroom estate, which is valued at nearly $2 million, back in 2021. 

Sprouse and Palvin have lived there since they tied the knot in July 2023 in her home country of Hungary. 

Sprouse’s twin brother Cole Sprouse — with whom he rose to fame as the leading stars of The Suite Life of Zack and Cody — served as the best man at their wedding.

They starred on the hit Disney series from 2005 to 2008. 

They also were the leading stars of the spinoff series, The Suite Life on Deck, from 2008 to 2011. 

The actor’s latest project was in the 2025 film Under Fire, in which he starred alongside Mason Gooding, Cuba Gooding Jr.’s son. 

Per the synopsis, Under Fire follows Griff (Sprouse) and Abbott (Gooding) at a Mexican border drug deal.

Both unexpectedly flash badges — Griff with the FBI and Abbott with the DEA — to reveal they are both working undercover on the same case. 

The film marked the second collaboration between Sprouse and Gooding after they both starred in the 2024 film Aftermath. 

Sprouse and his wife’s romance dates back to when they first met in 2017 at a party and later connected on social media. 

Sprouse and Palvin officially started dating in June 2018 and made their relationship public that following August. 

In January 2019, they moved in together. 

They got engaged in September 2022 and got married in July 2023.
