Cole Sprouse expresses regret for snubbing Matt Damon: 'How ridiculous'

Cole Sprouse shared his teenage regret when he and his twin brother Dylan Sprouse gave the cold shoulder to the Oppenheimer actor, Matt due to their obsession with video games.

On the latest episode of SiriusXM's Let's Talk Off Camera With Kelly Ripa, Cole recalled the time when he and his brother Dylan were too indulged in playing the Warcraft video game that they brushed off Matt Damon.

Cole revealed the incident occurred on the sets of The Suite Life of Zack & Cody, and they were told by one of the assistants that Matt and his kids would be coming to say hi as his kids were big fans of their show.

At the time the twin brothers were 15 years old, "I remember Dylan and I turning to each other and just going, 'Ugh. I can't believe we have to get off a World of Warcraft right now,'" he laughingly said.

Upon Matt’s arrival on set, all the crew members stood up to welcome him and his daughters, "just looking and amazed at Matt Damon," Cole added.

But the Sprouse twins continued on to play the video game and rarely looked away from their screens.

"This was how ridiculous we were as children," he exclaimed. "I think he came in and was like, 'Hey guys. Wow, so nice to meet you,' and we were like, 'Yeah, yeah. Hey man. Hey, how you doing?' and just went right back to the game."

While prompting he was only a kid at the time Cole was regretful over the incident, "We were just being kids and playing video games, and I'm sure if I ever meet Matt Damon again, I'm just gonna say 'I'm sorry' and it'll be all good," the Riverdale alum added.

For those unversed, The Suite Life of Zack & Cody aired for three seasons between 2005 and 2008 on the Disney Channel. The show was nominated three times for the Emmy Awards and also for the Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Award while it was airing.
