The two barely even knew each other before their parents got married, but ended up being fairly close and balancing each other out. "My emotions put me right to that place."īut even though all that is said and done, Peck said that he wouldn't consider him and Bell friends.Over-the-top Nickelodeon sitcom created by Dan Schneider about two Odd Couple stepbrothers, Drake Parker (Drake Bell) is a popular, conceited, ladies man and dim musician who ends up getting a stepbrother in Josh Nichols (Josh Peck), a goofy, nerdy, affectionate, effeminate, unpopular geek (until Josh Peck lost the weight and became quite handsome that is, although Josh Nichols was still a geek.) "It was one of the few times in my life where I think I went blind," he said. "I look at him and I go, 'Go apologize to my wife right now.' And he goes, 'OK.' And he made a beeline for my wife and I see him do this whole five-minute performance of an apology."Īt the end of the night, Peck was proud that he stood up to Bell and got his wife the apology that she deserved. "I go up to him and this might be the most 'Sopranos' thing I've ever done," he said. He said he confronted Bell a month later when they both ran into each other at the MTV Video Music Awards. Ultimately, people started to harass Peck's wife on social media and that was when the "iCarly" actor couldn't take it anymore. TODAY has reached out to Bell for comment on the incident. Every time he did an interview, Peck felt like his former co-star was "creating a narrative" that just simply wasn't true. Peck noted that he felt worse about the situation when Bell posted those tweets and later went on a "press tour about how heartbroken" he was.

Since he and Bell lost touch, Peck said he didn't feel the need to invite Bell to his 2017 wedding with longtime girlfriend Paige O’Brien.Īlthough he thought it wouldn't be a big deal since he was sure that Bell would do the same thing to him, Peck was proven wrong when Bell ended up angrily texting him on his wedding day and later voiced his concerns on social media.Īccording to E! News, Bell tweeted, “When you’re not invited to the wedding the message is clear." "And I want to like the guy that my name is attached to forever, but unfortunately, it just sort of worked out the way that it did." "'Drake & Josh' is something I'll be synonymous with forever and I'm proud of it," he said. He said that he relates to how the singer refuses to perform his hit song, "Uptown Girl," even though he's known for it. Peck then compared his time on "Drake & Josh" to Billy Joel's music career. "I say in my book, 'I was like this kid from New York who was into the Beastie Boys, and he was a kid from Orange County who was into the Beach Boys,' like it was just different people." "We were kids, right? Obviously, there were times when we were closer than not, but when inevitably the show ended - I mean, we're just totally different kids," he said.
