Users Claimed These Angelic Twins Looked “Cuter” When They Were Kids, But Wait Till You See The Sprouse Twins Today At 30
Cole Sprouse and Dylan are aware that sometimes two are needed.
The cute identical twin boys who won our hearts about twenty-five years ago on Big Daddy with Adam Sandler by playing the naughty little kid, are no longer tiny. They’re not boys either.
Dylan and Cole, his younger brother by fifteen minutes, are both attractive thirty-year-old men, and although they are not as close as they were when they first started their careers, they are still very close.
The handsome blonde boys were born in 1992, and at the age of eight months, they began sharing parts as one toddler or child in TV shows, movies, and advertisements.
As Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen of Full House show, identical twins are a valuable resource in Hollywood because child labor laws forbid minors from working long hours.
Additionally, having two Sprouses was preferable to having one.
Their breakthrough performance was as the son of Brett Butler’s main character, Grace Kelly, in the television comedy series Grace Under Fire, which ran from 1993 to 1998. The twins were remarkable in sharing the role of Patrick Kelly, having grown from infants to six-year-olds who could walk and talk.
“As Grace’s 8 month old, it’s impossible to tell at this point if Dylan and Cole Sprouse are the Olsen twins of tomorrow,” writes Tim Grey in Variety.
They dominated every scene in the 1999 comedy Big Daddy as Sandler’s adoptive kid, thanks to their well-timed remarks and lighthearted acting.
Speaking with People in 2022 about Sandler, Cole said, “Perhaps I’m a bit biased because I’ve known him for ages, but I do admire his career. He’s got a really, really wonderful balance between art and commerce that I think is the currency of a real working actor.” Cole continued, “He’s walking that line beautifully, and he’s raising up all of his friends at the same time, which I think is incredible.”
Cole’s role on the popular TV show Friends split him and Dylan’s power couple from 2000 to 2002. Cole portrayed the part of Ben, the young son of David Schwimmer’s character Ross Gellar, alone. This was the first part Cole had taken on without Dylan.
Speaking of his favorite Friends episode that he appeared in, “The One with the Holiday Armadillo,” Cole explains, “I remember that quite well. I was infatuated with the costumes, and the practical effects that they had.”
He also revealed that the costumes weren’t his only attraction. He also had a big crush on his co-star, who played Rachel. In an interview with TODAY, Cole said, “I’m pretty sure I fell in love with Jennifer Aniston, which the whole world had at that point. But I do remember being quite intimidated around her, because of that. I remember blanking on my lines and having kind of stage fright when she sat next to me on the couch in one episode.”
Reunited in 2002, Cole and Dylan starred together as the youthful Pistachio Disguisey in the movie Master of Disguise.
The boys’ distinct personalities were beginning to emerge at this point, and this would shape their future professional paths.
That was in 2005 when they starred as Zach and Cody in the Disney series The Suite Life of Zach & Cody, which was nominated for an Emmy and ran for three seasons. Following the conclusion of the program, they continued to play Zach and Cody in other Disney properties, such as Miley Cyrus’s Hannah Montana and their own film, The Suite Life Movie.
The adolescent heartthrobs were driving young girls crazy and becoming more and more popular, but they remained cool-headed as they moved on to the next stage of their lives and enrolled at New York University, where Dylan studied video game design and Zack studied humanities and archaeology.
“I needed to take a break and step outside myself, I needed a dose of reality, and I needed to see myself in a more objective point of view. And now I think I can enjoy [acting], which is a really fundamental part about being an actor,” Cole said, explaining that the long-running Disney series had him feeling like a machine. “I’m not saying that we didn’t enjoy that time, but it was work. It’s a career and a business, and it got me to college, which is one of the most fantastic gifts I could’ve been given. But I’m glad to be [acting] on my own accord now.”
After receiving their diplomas in 2015, Cole went back to appearing on television without his brother.
They are traveling different paths led by their unique personalities, and as separate men, they are no longer playing the same role.
In the supernatural drama television series Riverdale, which is based on the characters from the Archie comic books, Cole has been starring as Jughead Jones since 2017.
He met French-Canadian model Ari Fournier more than two years ago, and the two are currently in a relationship.
In contrast, Dylan voices video game characters and is engaged to Barbara Palvin, a model for Sports Illustrated. In addition, he co-founded Brooklyn, New York’s All-Wise Meadery, a small brewery.
Speaking with US Weekly in 2020, Dylan said, “It’s more likely that I will write something for us to work in together, rather than someone approach us. Twin movies are never good! That’s just the universal truth I think the universe has given to us, and so if we can find the right thing then, yeah.”
It’s amazing how much time has gone by since we first met the cute Sprouse twins on Big Daddy! We are eager to see what they do next because they have both accomplished some amazing things both inside and outside of Hollywood.
