Don't hold out hope for a The Suite Life of Zack & Cody reunion.

Cole Sprouse weighed in on the Sex and the City revival and shut down following suit and doing a reboot of the Disney Channel sitcom during an appearance on The Drew Barrymore Show Tuesday.

"Reboots are a tricky thing, you know?" he said. "The original shows when they become successful sit in this little golden plate of nostalgia and when you modernize it and go back to it, it has the potential to really disenfranchise the original fanbase so it's a very, very touchy thing."

"I'm asked all the time if Dylan and I are going to do a Suite Life reboot, and I go, 'No, absolutely not,'" the 28-year-old twin told Barrymore.

Instead of focusing on the past, Cole has his eye on future projects. In addition to acting, the star has focused in recent years on his photography — which he said he started doing professionally while studying archaeology at NYU.

"I studied a couple of photography classes when I was in college, and I knew I was going to be traveling a lot for archaeology, so I started taking my camera around with me," he said.

Then, he decided to turn his hobby into a gig. He approached Condé Nast's Traveler magazine about taking photos for print.

"I said 'I'll work for free...'" the actor told Barrymore. "And I didn't get paid the first couple times, as is the classic tale of the unpaid intern in New York. I didn't get paid for the first year, and then I got a nice job."

Of course, Cole and Barrymore couldn't get through the interview without discussing their Adam Sandler connection.

Cole said he and his Big Daddy co-star reconnected for the first time since filming the 1999 movie at the premiere of Uncut Gems.

"We spent like an hour and a half at the after party of the premiere just kind of geeking out about Big Daddy, and what it was to film that when I was six," he said.

Cole starred alongside his twin brother Dylan on The Suite Life of Zack & Cody which aired from 2005 to 2008.
