Dylan and Cole Sprouse, the identical twin brothers who captured our hearts with their adorable performances in the late 1990s and early 2000s, have come a long way since their child star days. Now 30 years old, the twins have evolved into successful individuals, pursuing separate passions and interests.
Born in 1992, Dylan and Cole began their acting career at just eight months old, sharing roles in commercials, television shows, and films. Their breakout role came in 1993 when they played the son of Brett Butler’s character in the TV comedy series Grace Under Fire. The twins’ remarkable ability to share a role, alternating between scenes and takes, made them a valuable asset in the entertainment industry.
As they grew older, the twins continued to act together, starring in films like Big Daddy alongside Adam Sandler. However, it was their individual performances that truly showcased their talent. Cole’s solo role as Ben in the hit TV series Friends marked a significant milestone in his career, demonstrating his ability to excel outside of his twin partnership.
The twins’ decision to attend New York University, where Dylan studied video game design and Cole pursued humanities and archaeology, marked a turning point in their lives. This break from the entertainment industry allowed them to develop their own interests and personalities, ultimately guiding them on separate paths.
Today, Cole is best known for his lead role as Jughead Jones in the supernatural drama TV series Riverdale. He is also in a relationship with French-Canadian model Ari Fournier. Dylan, on the other hand, has ventured into voice acting, lending his talents to various video game characters. He is engaged to Sports Illustrated model Barbara Palvin and co-founded All-Wise Meadery, a craft brewery in Brooklyn.
Despite their individual pursuits, the twins remain close, and their bond is still evident. In a 2020 interview with US Weekly, Dylan expressed his desire to collaborate with Cole on a future project, stating that he would likely write something specifically for the two of them to work on together.
The Sprouse twins’ journey from child stars to successful individuals is a testament to their resilience, adaptability, and dedication to their passions. As they continue to navigate their careers and personal lives, it’s clear that their bond as twins will remain an essential part of their lives.
