Alyson Stoner recently opened up about an uncomfortable kissing experience they had as a young actor on Disney’s “The Suite Life of Zack & Cody.” In a recent episode of their podcast “Dear Hollywood,” Stoner, now 30 years old, reflected on their time filming the show and revealed that the script required their character, Max, to kiss both twins, Cody and Zack, played by real-life twin actors Cole and Dylan Sprouse.
Stoner shared that these kisses were their first real experiences with kissing and that they all happened on camera. They admitted feeling young and uncomfortable at the time but did not want to be seen as difficult since they were already under contract for the show. Stoner explained that they struggled to speak up about their discomfort because they had a recurring role on the show and felt they had less influence or power.
Despite their reservations, Stoner tried to rationalize the situation by telling themselves that they would eventually have their own separate first kiss outside of the show. They appeared in several episodes of “The Suite Life” as a friend to the Sprouse twins’ characters.
In addition to their acting career, Stoner gained fame for their dancing skills and appeared in several music videos for Missy Elliott as a young dancer. They also started the “Dear Hollywood” podcast this summer to discuss the challenges and issues surrounding child stardom. The podcast aims to shed light on the often negative experiences that young performers face, such as addiction, financial struggles, and even suicide.
Stoner has also been open about their sexual identity, publicly coming out as queer. They faced discrimination in the industry and shared that they were fired from a children’s show after revealing their queerness. This experience was both intimidating and liberating for Stoner.
In 2021, Stoner released their book “Mind Body Pride,” which is designed to help queer individuals and their allies reconnect with their minds and bodies, honor their needs, and embrace their individuality with pride.
Overall, Alyson Stoner’s journey as a child actor and their subsequent advocacy work in Hollywood highlights the importance of addressing the challenges faced by performers in the entertainment industry and promoting inclusivity and acceptance.
