Cole Sprouse and Dylan Sprouse are aware that sometimes two people are needed.
The cute identical twin boys who won our hearts about twenty-five years ago by playing the precocious little child on Adam Sandler’s Big Daddy are now grown up. They’re not boys either.
Although they are no longer as close as they were when they first started their professions, Dylan and Cole, his younger brother by 15 minutes, are still very close. Both men are beautiful and in their 30s.
The cute blond lads, who were born in 1992, began playing the parts of a toddler or youngster in TV shows, movies, and advertisements when they were just 8 months old.
Identical twins are a tremendous resource in Hollywood because of child labor laws that prohibit youngsters from working excessive hours, as seen by Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen of Full House fame.
Two of them was better than one for the small Sprouses.
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 exceptional in playing the part of Patrick Kelly, growing from babies to six-year-olds who could talk and walk.
Tim Grey writes in Variety, “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.”

With their well-timed quips and lighthearted act, they dominated every scene when they played Sandler’s adopted kid in the 1999 comedy Big Daddy.
Regarding Sandler, Cole stated in a 2022 interview with People, “I think I’m a little biased because I’ve known him for a long time, but I do admire his career.” He strikes a truly amazing balance between art and business, which is, in my opinion, the hallmark of a legitimate working actor. Cole went on to say, “I think it’s amazing that he’s raising up all of his friends at the same time and walking that line beautifully.”
Cole’s role on the popular television show Friends caused the power dynamic between him and Dylan to shift between 2000 and 2002. Cole played the first part without Dylan, playing the part of Ben, the young son of David Schwimmer’s character Ross Gellar.
Cole says, “I remember that quite well,” referring to his favorite Friends episode in which he starred, “The One with the Holiday Armadillo.” The actual effects and costumes had me completely enamored.
He also disclosed that he wasn’t just smitten with the costumes. Additionally, he harbored a deep affection for his co-star, Rachel. “I’m pretty sure I fell in love with Jennifer Aniston, which the entire world had at that point,” Cole stated in an interview with TODAY. However, I do recall feeling really intimidated around her as a result. In one instance, she sat next to me on the couch, and I recall getting stage fright and forgetting my lines.
Cole and Dylan were reunited and twinning once more in the 2002 movie Master of Disguise, when they both played the young Pistachio Disguisey.
The lads were beginning to form distinctive personalities at this time, which would shape their individual careers.
At that time, they portrayed Zach and Cody in the Emmy-nominated Disney series The Suite Life of Zach & Cody, which debuted in 2005 and ran for three seasons. Following the series’ conclusion, their characters Zach and Cody appeared in various Disney productions, such as Hannah Montana with Miley Cyrus and their movie, The Suite Life Movie.
The popularity of the teenage heartthrobs was driving young females crazy, but they were level-headed enough to move on to the next stage. Dylan studied video game design at New York University, while Zack studied archaeology and the humanities.
In order to see myself from a more objective perspective, I needed to take a break and move outside of myself. I also needed a dose of reality. “And now I think I can enjoy [acting], which is a really fundamental part of being an actor,” Cole said, describing how he felt like a machine while working on the long-running Disney series. It was work, but I’m not saying we didn’t have fun throughout that period. It’s a business and a job, and it helped me get into college, which is one of the best things that could have happened to me. However, I’m happy to be [behaving] independently now.
After both of them graduated in 2015, Cole went back to appearing on TV, this time without his brother.
As separate men, they are no longer playing the same role, and their unique personalities are leading them on different paths.
Cole has been starring as Jughead Jones in Riverdale, a supernatural drama television show that is based on the Archie comic book characters, since 2017.
He met French-Canadian model Ari Fournier over two years ago, and the two are currently dating.
Dylan, on the other hand, is engaged to Barbara Palvin, a model for Sports Illustrated, and he voices video game characters. In addition, he co-founded Brooklyn, New York’s All-Wise Meadery, a small brewery.
“It’s more likely that I will write something for us to work in together, rather than someone approaching us,” Dylan stated in a 2020 interview with US Weekly. It’s never nice to see twin films! I believe the cosmos has given us this universal truth, so if we can figure out what it is, then sure.
We can’t believe how much time has gone by since we first saw the cute Sprouse twins on Big Daddy! Both of them have accomplished amazing things both inside and outside of Hollywood, and we are eager to see what they will do next.
