Sometimes celebrities and technology aren't the great mix.
Former child star Dylan Sprouse, best known for his role as Zack Martin on Disney Channel's "The Suite Life of Zack & Cody and Suite Life on Deck," is the latest celebrity to have nude photos of himself surface online.
The two pictures suffered on Tumblr Sunday, showing the famous twin in "various states of undress." The first photo was if the actor holding his iPhone and posing in front of a bathroom mirror while flexing his muscles and wearing white boxers.
A second showed the former Disney star completely naked and cupping his genitals; his face is partially out of the frame. The 21-year-old actor did not deny, whether is was him in the photos.
"Whoops, guess I'm not 14 and fat anymore," the actor told his Twitter fans. "I messed up... but I'd be a fool not to own up to it. Got to move past it I suppose."
The photos went viral after the girl, Sprouse sexted them to decided to share them online. Sprouse jokingly added "n00d pic dealer" to his Twitter bio.

Sprouse later posted a lengthy message on his Tumblr.
"First off, I will state that the reason I'm making light of the situation is because I don't think what I did was wrong. To be blunt, I was proud of my progress in the gym, thought I looked hot, and wanted to share it," he wrote. "There is an odd taboo with the human form and I don't particularly think it's a good thing to teach people that you should 'hide yourself' as something incredibly sacred. Blah blah blah, that's a medieval notion.
"The real problem here was not me sending my pictures to someone, but rather, sending them to the WRONG someone. The real travesty is a misplaced trust, and while I am certainly to blame for it, it is a shame that my private life was somehow forcibly dragged into the public's perception of me."
Sprouse isn't the first Disney darling, to have nude and semi-nude photos leaked online. Vanessa Hudgens issued an apology, after pictures surfaced of the "High School Musical" star posing nude in her bedroom
"Whenever anybody asks me, would I do nudity in a film, if I say that it's something I'm not comfortable with, they're like, 'Bulls--t, you've already done it.' If anything, it makes it more embarrassing, because that was a private thing," Hudgens told Allure magazine in 2011. "It's screwed up that someone screwed me over like that. At least some people are learning from my mistake."
