Despite this being something that would shake anyone up, apparently, Sprouse isn’t just anyone.
When the pair attended the Devil Wears Prada 2 premiere on Monday, April 20, both Pravin and Sprouse spoke about the moment to E! News.
“I thought it was funny,” Sprouse shared, stating that he’s just that way inclined to not dwell on things.
He added: “This is really to my detriment but I’m really not a ‘too soon’ guy, in general.”
He went on to say he and Palvin make light of hard times, telling the interviewer: “We’re laughing about things the moment they happen. You’ve got to have levity in life. Thankfully, no one was hurt and there was no more violence.”
At his side, 32-year-old Palvin confirmed: “We’re dealing with the trauma with jokes and fun and all that.”
“It’s all OK,” Sprouse insisted on the carpet, with Palvin adding: “We’re just happy to be here to watch [The Devil Wears Prada 2].”
While the couple seem to have taken things in their stride, worried fans have been leaving messages on Sprouse’s social media pages, with one Instagram user typing: “I heard what happened and I praise God you both are ok! Thankful God equipped you with quick reflexes to subdue your invader and protect your wife! Praying for you both!”
“God bless you and your family,” a second wrote.
Another commented: “Way to use that 2nd amendment & protect your wife and home! Glad yall are both safe!”
Underneath the interview, others said similar things, with one noting: “Love the way he took care of it, burgler didn't even get into the house!”
Someone else said: “Our home was burglarized. Everything taken. Everything broken and opened and damaged. It's a terrible feeling. You don't want to leave but you can't stay. I hope they find peace.”
