Anybody who has ever heard Dylan Sprouse speak about his wife, Hungarian model and actress Barbara Palvin, knows he would go to the ends of the earth to defend her.
That’s just about what the former Disney Channel star, who made his name of The Suite Life of Zack & Cody, had to do recently when a gunman entered the couple’s Hollywood Hills home.
According to reports, Palvin called police around 12:30 a.m. on Friday to inform them that an armed man had entered their house as part of an attempted burglary.
Anonymous sources then claimed that Sprouse, 33, confronted the home invader and held him down at gunpoint until police arrived.

Video released by TMZ shows officers handcuffing the suspect, who has not been named at this point. The trespasser was reportedly arrested for multiple outstanding warrants.
Sprouse and Palvin have lived in the home together since they married in 2023, while the ex-Disney Channel star first purchased the $2 million property, which has four bedrooms and two bathrooms, in 2021.
