Actor Dylan Sprouse confronted and tackled an alleged trespasser at his Hollywood Hills home early Friday morning after his wife, supermodel Barbara Palvin, spotted the man on their property and called 911 to report a possible burglary.
The incident took place around 12:30 a.m. on Friday at the couple’s home in the Hollywood Hills of Los Angeles.
According to multiple reports citing law enforcement sources, Palvin noticed the intruder on the lawn outside their home and immediately dialed 911.
Sprouse, 33, the former star of Disney Channel’s The Suite Life of Zack & Cody, took action.
The actor confronted the man, held him at gunpoint, tackled him to the ground on the lawn, and physically restrained him until Los Angeles Police Department officers arrived on the scene.
Sprouse later holstered his firearm and placed it behind the front gate, sources said.
No one was injured during the confrontation, and the suspect did not enter the home.

Even liberal girls are gushing over him and saying that’s a “real man.” At the end of the day, every woman wants a man who will defend her and protect her.

LAPD officers took the unidentified man into custody. He was arrested on outstanding warrants unrelated to the incident at the Sprouse residence.
The couple reportedly declined to pursue trespassing or burglary charges against the suspect.
TMZ obtained video footage of the arrest showing the man, whose face was blurred, being handcuffed by officers outside the property’s gate near a “Private Property, No Trespassing” sign.

A skateboard was also propped against the gate, and the suspect was wearing a dirt-covered Stamptown sweatshirt.
A source close to the couple told TMZ that Sprouse and Palvin were “shaken up” but otherwise okay, and that this was reportedly not the first time their home had been targeted by intruders.
