Dylan Sprouse holds tresspasser at gunpoint after terrifying home invasion
Dylan Sprouse allegedly held a home invader at gunpoint following a possible burglary report made by his wife, Barbara Palvin.
It’s understood that the 32-year-old spotted a ‘creepy guy’ on the lawn of the Spanish-style home that she shares with The Suite Life of Zack & Cody actor, 33, on Friday (17 April).
The Victoria's Secret model, who tied the knot with Sprouse in 2023, made the emergency call to Los Angeles officials at around 12.30am, as per law enforcement.
A representative for Sprouse confirmed to Rolling Stone that he tackled the trespasser and held him down in the grounds of his Hollywood Hills mansion until police arrived.

TMZ reported that Sprouse also held the invader at gunpoint prior to tackling him.
The outlet shared footage of an arrest that appeared to show the suspect, whose face was blurred, being handcuffed by officials.
Following their arrival, officials took the suspect in on outstanding warrants, as per the Los Angeles Times.
Officers reported that there had been no injuries and that the suspect failed to make it inside the celebrity couple’s LA abode.
LADbible has contacted representatives of Dylan Sprouse, Barbara Palvin, and the LAPD for comment.
When he’s not protecting his property, the American actor can be found in the movies, with his most recent project, Under Fire, premiering last year.
The action comedy film, directed by Steven C. Miller, marked Sprouse’s second time starring alongside Mason Gooding, the son of Academy Award-winner Cuba Gooding Jr.
The year prior, Sprouse appeared in The Duel with Callan McAuliffe - a flick that he said had a major ‘impact on people’ who have watched it.
“They watch it, and they come away with some opinion about what they watched. I think it’s becoming increasingly common for people to walk out of movies opinionless, and I think this movie begs for an opinion from its audience,” he said, as per Sharp Magazine.
Alongside his acting career, the former Disney Channel star previously operated the All-Wise Meadery in Williamsburg, Brooklyn.
At the time of writing, the alcohol business’ website has ‘expired’ and customers are unable to place orders.
In June 2023, Sprouse announced that he and Palvin had been engaged since September 2022.
A month later, he and the model said ‘I do’ at Harlekin Birtok, an event venue on her parents’ property in the Hungarian countryside.
The couple exchanged vows in the church in Albertirsa in front of ‘all the people [they] loved and cared for’.
“We all cried a little. The weather was perfect with a little cool breeze. It was a beautiful moment that we will never forget,” Palvin said, as per British Vogue.
