Dylan Sprouse draws fans reaction after ‘FUPA’ comment
Dylan Sprouse’s “FUPA” comment incited fan reactions on Instagram. Bustle shared a video of the 33-year-old talking to the paparazzi at the VSFS, short for Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show, in Brooklyn, New York City. (via TMZ).
Dylan Sprouse was there to cheer for his wife, Barbara Palvin, who was walking the ramp that night. When he was clicked, Sprouse joked, “Let me tuck in this FUPA real quick,” adjusting his trousers before posing for the camera.
For those unversed, FUPA is short for ‘fatty upper pubic area.’ The media person played along with his joke and replied, “No way,” as the actor posed for the cameras.
Fans played along with Sprouse’s ‘FUPA’ comment. One fan commented sarcastically, ‘Fupa King,’ accompanied by a blue heart emoticon. Another wrote, “He doesn’t have a FUPA, but this is funny.”
The paparazzi might have brushed it off as a joke; however, netizens think there is a deeper meaning behind it. Fans believe Sprouse was trying to bring attention to endometriosis, a condition that causes pelvic pain and affects women during menstruation. The main symptoms of this condition are pelvic pain, heavy periods, and extreme pain during intercourse. It can also result in women facing difficulty when trying to get pregnant. Notably, Barbara Palvin suffers from endometriosis.
Fans noticed Dylan Sprouse pinned a tiny yellow ribbon on his navy-blue suit to raise awareness about the condition. Fans defended the former Disney star in the comments. One fan wrote, “The (ribbon symbol) is for endometriosis, y’all.” Another commented, “I love him. The hostage pin is beautiful.”
Fans noticed the trousers were slightly loose, so he hiked them up to avoid a wardrobe malfunction.
Now, according to the Independent, Sprouse revealed to host Zanna Roberts Rassi that Barbara would be walking the ramp with a broken foot, just months after having surgery for endometriosis. He confessed, “She actually broke her foot four weeks ago, so she will be walking on a half-healed foot tonight. So, I wish you luck. I love you. I know you are going to kill it.”
