Who are Cole and Dylan Sprouse?
Cole and Dylan Sprouse were born in Arezzo, Italy, on 4 August 1992 – their zodiac sign is Leo, and they hold American nationality. They are both actors, film producers and musicians, and have both appeared in close to 50 movies and TV series. The boys gained recognition in 2005, when they were cast to play the lead characters Zack and Cody Martin in the popular family comedy series “The Suite Life of Zack & Cody”. It was created by Jim Geoghan and Danny Kallis, and follows the identical twins Zack and Cody who are being raised by their single mother, who’s working at Tipton Hotel as a lounge singer; the series aired from 2005 to 2008, and won eight of the 34 awards for which it was nominated, including three Primetime Emmy nominations.
Dylan is 15 minutes older than Cole. Their parents were vacationing in Italy when they were born; the family moved to Long Beach in California only after Dylan and Cole were four months old. Acting was somewhat forced onto the boys, because their grandmother, Jonine Booth Wright, a former actress and drama teacher, started teaching them acting when they were only eight months old. They shared most of their early roles, and were only a year old when they started playing the same character, Patrick Kelly, in the romantic comedy series “Grace Under Fire”. It was directed by Chuck Lorre, starred Brett Butler and Casey Sander, and follows the recovering alcoholic Grace, who has recently divorced her abusive husband, and is raising their children all by herself; the series aired from 1993 to 1998, and won seven of the 31 awards for which it was nominated, including two Primetime Emmy nominations.
The boys then acted alongside in a couple of TV series and movies, including the critically acclaimed 1999 comedy movie “Big Daddy”, science fiction thriller movie “The Astronaut’s Wife” also in ’99, and the 2001 episode “Scareful What You Wish For” of the family fantasy horror series “The Nightmare Room”.
It was around this time that the boys started winning roles in different movies and series; Cole appeared as Ben Geller in seven episodes of the hit romantic comedy series “Friends” between 2000 and 2002, while Dylan gained recognition with his portrayal of Clayton, in the 2008 adventure crime comedy movie “Adventures in Appletown”.
Cole seems to be a bit more popular than his brother, and since 2017 has been playing one of the lead characters, Jughead Jones, in the hit mystery crime series “Riverdale”.
It was created by Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa, also stars Lili Reinhart and Camila Mendes, and follows the teenage boy Archie as he’s navigating through life in Riverdale, a city full of mystery; the series won 35 of the 90 awards for which it was nominated.
Dylan has won three of the 11 awards for which he has been nominated, while Cole has won 11 of 29.
The boys both enrolled at New York University’s Gallatin School of Individualized Study in 2011; Cole graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in humanities and particular archeology in May 2015, while Dylan graduated in the same month, with a Bachelor’s degree in video game design.
Dylan started dating the famous Hungarian model Barbara Palvin in 2018, and they’re today living together in Los Angeles, California.
Cole is today in a relationship with the American model Ari Fournier.
