Fans grew up watching Brenda Song as London Tipton on The Suite Life of Zack and Cody, and the former Disney Channel star opens up about an incident during filming the sequel series that pushed her to the limits.
Song played the rich heiress in the hit series and sequel installment The Suite Life on Deck. She appeared on her former co-star Dylan Sprouse’s “Wildmen” podcast on Tuesday, where she recalled one day of filming that involved a malfunctioning hot tub that led her to pass out from the extreme heat.
“I just remember breathing heavy and my chest felt really hot. I just went, ‘Am I having a panic attack?’” she explained. “And then all of a sudden I remember stars and gone.”
Sprouse adds that the hot tub had mistakenly been set to 250 degrees, a temperature that is twice as hot as what is deemed safe by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) and the CDC. He explained that everyone who was involved in the scene “started to complain,” except Song.
Her Disney Channel co-star revealed that Song “never made a peep about working conditions” and was unbothered by the extreme heat. When Song passed out, it became a “full theatrical” moment of concern.
“If you didn’t pass out, you wouldn’t have said anything,” Sprouse said. “At the same time, everybody on the set, once you passed out, went, ‘Oh s–t, this is really real.’”
He joked that “people can have third-degree burns on them, but unless Brenda passed out, it wasn’t real.”
There are a few episodes in the original Disney Channel series and in The Suite Life on Deck that involve a jacuzzi, with Sprouse recalling that it took place in the sequel series. Both actors were unclear exactly which episode it was, but vividly remember Song passing out.
Song went on to back her co-star’s statement that the stars of the series received next to nothing in residuals from Disney. She and her co-stars starred in the original sitcom for three years before reprising their roles for another three. While having had a “lovely time” filming, she felt the cast was “underpaid and overworked.”
The popularity of the two Disney Channel series should have financially “set” the cast up for life, with Sprouse joking, “We would have seven generations of children that would not have to worry about what they did.”
The actor, who shares two children with Macaulay Culkin, does admit that the series catapulted their careers and gave them “a platform to be sitting here right now.”
