“I thought it was pretty funny,” Sprouse surprisingly commented.

When the interviewer asked if it wasn’t too soon to joke about it, Sprouse replied, “I’m really — this is actually to my detriment — I’m really not a ‘too soon’ guy in general. We’re laughing at things the moment they happen.”

“You have to have some levity in life,” he added. “And thankfully no one was hurt and there was no more violence than what happened, and so it’s all OK.”
