Remember the adorable Sprouse twins from Big Daddy? They’re grown up, but their bond is still unbroken. Cole and Dylan Sprouse, the adorable identical twins who charmed us with their wit and charm, are now 30 and as close as ever.

The Blond duo first entered the entertainment industry at the age of 8 months, appearing in advertisements, television programs and films. Hollywood likes twins because they give them flexibility in which they need, adhering to child labor rules. Look at Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen in Full House.
Their breakthrough role was in the TV comedy Grace Under Fire, where they played the sons of Brett Butler’s Grace Kelly from 1993 to 1998. It was amazing to watch them grow on screen from babies to 6-year-olds. Cole and Dylan rose to prominence as Adam Sandler’s adopted sons in Big Daddy (1999), and their flawless comedic timing and line delivery were truly impressive.
When he was asked about his experience with Sandler, Cole said: “I know his entirety and I greatly admire his career. It has an incredible balance between art and trade, which, I think, determines the real actor who works. Not only that, but he inspires his friends in the industry, which is incredible.”
After a successful collaboration with Sandler, Cole dared to participate in the popular TV show Friends, where he played Ben, the son of Ross Gellar. The episode titled “The One with the Holiday Armadillo” remains one of his favorites. “I was fascinated by the costumes and the practical effects they created,” he recalls.
But it wasn’t just the costumes that caught Cole’s eye on set. He also fell in love with his partner Jennifer Aniston: “I think I fell in love with Jennifer just like everyone else did.” “But I was so intimidated by his presence.
I was so nervous when she sat next to me on the couch in one episode,” he admits. In the 2002 film Master of Disguise, Cole and Dylan joined forces again as Pistachio Disguise. It was during this time that they began to chart their own paths and forge their own careers.
Their next big venture was The Suite Life of Zack & Cody, a popular Disney show that aired from 2005 to 2008. The series not only skyrocketed their fame but also garnered them an Emmy nomination. They continued to play symbolic characters in other Disney Productions, such as Hannah Montana and movie Suite Life.
When they went to a young adult from the heart trob, Call and Dylan made an important decision to continue higher education. They both attended New York University, Dylan studying video game design and Cole studying humanities and archaeology, and it was a chance for them to step out of the spotlight and gain a new perspective.
Since the end of 2015, Geminis Prauses have accepted various acting projects individually. Call rose with his role in Jaghead Jones, a supernatural drama series, Riverdale, and Dylan succeeded as an actor in the video game. Dylan also immersed himself in the world of brewing, helping to develop the All-Wise Meadery craft brewery in Brooklyn, New York.
Cole is currently dating French-Canadian model Arie Fournier, and Dylan is engaged to Sports Illustrated model Barbara Palvin. The brothers have grown into independent people with their own personalities and passions.
It’s incredible to think how far the Sprouse twins have come since their Big Daddy days. We can’t wait to see what the future has in store for us, as in Hollywood and beyond, they continue to make an impression and show the world what they’re made of.
