Alyson Stoner recently discussed an uncomfortable kissing moment they experienced as a preteen actor on Disneys The Suite Life of Zack & Cody.

During an Aug. 18 episode of their podcast Dear Hollywood, Stoner, now 30, reflected on the time they learned that the script for an episode of The Suite Life had their character, Max, kiss both twins, Cody and Zack (played by real-life twin actor brothers Cole and Dylan Sprouse, respectively).

My first kiss, and several of the times I experienced kissing, all happened on camera, Stoner said. I remember on Suite Life on Disney, Id already booked the role of Max and Id filmed an episode.

They went on: A few weeks later, they wrote an episode where Max had to kiss both twins, and I cant remember if both kisses ended up in the final edit.

Did I know that when I auditioned for Max? No. Was I ready for that? No, they added. I felt young and uncomfortable. But I was already under contract and I didnt want to be difficult.

Stoner then explained that they were afraid to speak up at the time since they only had a recurring role on the show, as opposed to a lead role, and therefore had less clout.

They said they tried to justify the kiss at the time by telling themself: OK, I can have my kiss here, and then Ill have my own separate first kiss at some point.

Stoner appeared on several episodes of The Suite Life, which ran from 2005 to 2008. They played a friend to the characters played by the Sprouse twins, who both turned 31 earlier this month.

In 2016, Stoner revealed on the Night Time Show podcast that they had a crush on Cole Sprouse when they were preteens filming The Suite Life, and that Sprouse dumped them on their birthday.

Cole, what the hell Cole? Stoner jokingly said at the time.
