How old were the twins in Big Daddy?

The Sprouse twins are the true definition of Hollywood sweethearts; they grew up in the spotlight, took a hiatus, and then returned to win more hearts while gaining more fame.

Once upon a time, in an Italian town called Arezzo, in a small hospital called Clinica Tanganelli, two identical twin boys came into the world fifteen minutes apart. The first is called, Dylan, the second, Cole, and their surname, Sprouse.

The day was August 4th, '92, and the siblings didn't know who they were, or what they would become, but it soon became clear before their first birthday. By the time the twins turned four-months, their parents had moved back to the United States.

THEY SAW A NEED IN HOLLYWOOD AND MET IT

The Sprouse family landed in California, where they soon discovered that having identical twins was a "Lucrative" thing in Hollywood. It also helped that Dylan and Cole had the charm and handsomeness that made movie stars.

By the time the twins turned 8-months, their mother, Jonine Booth Wright, a drama teacher, decided to capitalize on Hollywood's need for twins. She got the siblings' roles in TV series and commercials, and so began their journey into show business.

California Labor at the time only allowed children to work for three hours per day, and the twin factor came into play again. The brothers got the same roles and switched while filming.

On ABC's "Grace Under Fire," the brothers had a joint role, portraying "Patrick Kelly." They had the part for five years, from 93 to 98.

FROM ONE UNIT TO TWO PARTS OF A WHOLE

By '99, the twins were ready for the big screens and made their debut in the feature film, "Big Daddy." The two starred alongside Adam Sandler, and Dylan had one scene more than Cole.

A year after the turn of the century, in 2001, the twin power got broken up when Cole got chosen to appear alone on "Friends." He starred as "Ben," the son of "Rose Gellar."

The next year, the brothers reunited as "Pistachio Disguisey" in the film, "Master of Disguise." At this time, the differences in the brother's personalities were beginning to show, and they started getting more distinct roles.

By 2005, they got the roles of "Zach and Cody" on "The Suite Life." It marked the beginning of their Disney years and their tag as teenage heartthrobs.

They remained on the show until it wrapped up in 2011, and then began the next phase of their lives. Dylan and Cole enrolled at New York University, and studied Game Design and Archeology, respectively.

THEY FOUND DIFFERENT PATHS

The differences in their personalities had become more pronounced at this point, and fans were beginning to tell them apart. By 2015, when they graduated, the only thing that bonded the two was genetics and their love for acting.

Graduation also marked their return to Hollywood, and in 2017, Cole returned to television alone. He got the role of "Jughead Jones" on CW's "Riverdale," and still appears on it.

In 2019, the younger twin got his second significant lead role. He appeared in "Five Feet Apart," a movie about cystic fibrosis, alongside Haley Lu Richardson.

Dylan, on his part, opened a meadery, in Williamsburg, and seems to enjoy life there. He also appeared in a video for Camila Cabello's song, "Consequences."

UNITED AND SUPPORTIVE FOR ALWAYS

The brothers maintain separate social media accounts. Cole has over 9 million followers on Twitter and tweets actively, while his brother has only nine posts on his Instagram account with over 8 million followers.

At 27, the twins are dating, and while one is with an actress, the other is seeing a model. The younger twin is dating his "Riverdale" co-star, Lili Reinhart, while his brother is with Barbara Palvin.

The actor and Dylan continue to redefine themselves, doing what they both love. They are unique in their differences, bonded by blood, and have each other's back through the good times, the bad, and everything in between.

Dylan Thomas Sprouse and Cole Mitchell Sprouse, commonly referred to as the Sprouse Bros. or Sprouse Twins, are the portrayers of the protagonists in the popular Disney Channel show The Suite Life of Zack & Cody, its spin-off The Suite Life on Deck, and the spin-off movie.

Besides The Suite Life series, the twins are also known for their role in Adam Sandler's Big Daddy, in which they both played the same character (Julian McGrath) in different scenes. Because of their work in The Suite Life of Zack & Cody and The Suite Life on Deck, the twins have become very popular among kids aged nine to sixteen, notably becoming heartthrobs to many fans.

Biography

Cole plays as Cody.

Identical twins Dylan and Cole Sprouse were born in Arezzo, Italy, on August 4, 1992, to parents Matthew Sprouse and Melanie Wright. Dylan was named after Dylan Thomas and They says Cole after Nat King Cole but that's not true. Despite being born in Italy, the twins were raised in their parents' hometown of Long Beach, California.

In early 1993, the twins began their first role at six months old in a toilet paper commercial, apparently getting the role as they were the only babies in the green room that were not crying. They would switch off-screen for several scenes. Later that year and until 1998, the two got a dual role as Patrick Kelly in Grace Under Fire, again switching for one another during different scenes.

In 1997, Dylan and Cole's parents divorced.

In 1999, the twins landed their first major role in Big Daddy, a feature film starring Adam Sandler, marking what would be the beginning of their feature acting career. Following this movie, they jumped around to minor roles in The Astronaut's Wife, The Chanukah Song, I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus, and Just for Kicks, among others. Returning to work with Adam Sandler once more, the two did voice over roles for his feature film, Eight Crazy Nights.

After being involved with a few direct-to-video family movies, the twins were approached by Disney, where Danny Kallis had an idea to base a television show off their lives, living in hotels as they went across the country to perform in different productions. Though the series was initially to be titled The Suite Life and then The Suite Life of Dylan & Cole, the characters' names were changed to Zack and Cody.

Along with their work on The Suite Life, they also starred in a Sony Pictures film, The Prince and the Pauper.

Aside from acting, the twins developed their own brand (the "Sprouse Bros. brand") and started their own book series, 47 R.O.N.I.N., about teenaged brothers who become spies for their undercover dad.

In 2008, after The Suite Life of Zack & Cody aired its 87th episode, a spin-off was introduced that would take Zack and Cody's characters to sea and away from their home life, where they would learn to live like adults.

After concluding production on their third season, the twins stated that they would be attending New York University, though whether production on the show will continue remains unknown.

In late 2010, an announcement was made by Disney that there would be a movie made from the series, which would also star Dylan and Cole.
