After rumors surfaced that "Suite Life Of Zack And Cody" star Dylan Sprouse was broke due to being captured working as a host at a NYC restaurant, the actor decided to respond.




Early this week, the former Disney star took to his Tumblr page to assure the public that he is not broke and he took on the customer service position to expand his horizons.




"So many pictures have gotten out that I'm now working as a host at a restaurant in NY. To clear up the air (which is admittedly pretty rude), I did not take this job because I 'lost all my money,' I am financially secure, and took this job as a way to primarily feed my over bountiful video game addiction," the 21-year-old actor explained. "I also took this as a way to try a new experience, working somewhat below the means I'm used to, as well as a way to socialize and get out of the house."




Sprouse is certain that eventually he will return to acting, but as of now he is enjoying this new journey in restaurant hospitality.




"I feel most comfortable when I'm working and doing something, to criticize someone of that is pretty odd," he added. "I will potentially return to acting someday, but in no way do I think any experience is a step down for me, but rather a new step in another direction."




Along with his brother Cole, Sprouse starred in "Suite Life of Zach & Cody" and "The Suite Life on Deck" from 2005 to 2011. In 2012, during the YouTube series "Conversation with Nat," Sprouse confessed he and his brother were departing from the Disney Channel to go off to college. As of last October, he was taking up video game design with a double major in poetry and studio art at New York University.




Both brothers hope to return to Hollywood with a new image.




"Historically, Disney Channel stars don't survive well outside of the Disney environment . . . we decided that we should go and get a higher education [and also] give time for people to forget about us," said Sprouse. "If we left and returned four years later after we've grown, gained an education, looked physically different . . . it would only do good for us."
