Hollywood star Dylan Sprouse, well-known for his role in Disney’s The Suite Life of Zack & Cody and its spin-off, The Suite Life on Deck series and Big Daddy with Adam Sandler, married Hungarian supermodel Barbara Palvin last year. Now he talked about Hungarian weddings and compared them to American ones.
According to Blikk, a Hungarian tabloid, Barbara and Dylan said their vows at a traditional Hungarian wedding at the estate of the Palvin family not far from Budapest. Barbara shared details about their big day, but her husband remained silent until now. Dylan was a guest of Whoopi Goldberg’s The View show and said some interesting things about Hungarian weddings.
The Hollywood star was invited to talk about his new movie, Beautiful Wedding (2024), in which he portrays Travis, a 19-year-old who discovers after a crazy night in Las Vegas that he married Abby (Virginia Gardner). The film is the sequel to Beautiful Disaster (2023) and follows the couple to Mexico, where they will spend their honeymoon. Here is the trailer:
Since the new film is connected to a wedding, the hosts asked Dylan how he felt during his traditional Hungarian wedding on his father-in-law’s estate.
Dylan had to ‘win back’ her wife on the wedding
Dylan said that weddings in Hungary were completely different from what they were used to in the US. Hungarian “weddings are based on games and activities”, he said. “At some point, traditionally, the bride gets kidnapped by the groomsmen. And I have to win her back by completing a set of challenges”, he said.
All five hosts liked that idea. But what they liked the most was how Dylan had to win back Barbara.
He sat on a chair, and the bride and all her bridesmaids lined up behind him, so he could not see them. In front of him stood the groomsmen. The girls had to dance, which the boys tried to replicate, and Dylan had to figure out which one of them did his wife’s moves.
When Whoopi Goldberg asked him whether he had ever been to Buda or Pest, Dylan said he visited them both. And he pronounced Pest with a [ʃ] sound, like in shush. That is how Hungarians pronounce it, so congratulations, Dylan!
