While their impressive performances are well-known, it might surprise you that their Big Daddy co-star, Adam Sandler, once admitted that their acting made him feel “sick” with admiration.
The Sprouse brothers didn’t achieve success overnight; their journey involved years of hard work and growing up in the public eye. They have often credited their mother, Melanie Wright, for her significant influence on their careers.
PEOPLE magazine featured the twins in 1999 when they were just seven years old. Melanie Wright spoke about their similarities, noting their shared values, prayer, and responsibilities. She also mentioned that she encouraged them to embrace their individuality.
During the same period, Melanie revealed that Adam Sandler was particularly impressed with the twins’ skills. Sandler praised their wit and professionalism, stating that their performances were “so good it makes me sick to my stomach.”
After a brief hiatus to focus on their education, both Dylan and Cole have remained active in the entertainment industry. Cole gained prominence for his role as Jughead on Riverdale, while Dylan starred in the After film series and various young adult dramas.
The Sprouse brothers began their acting careers at just six months old. By their first birthday, they were regulars on ABC’s Grace Under Fire, playing Patrick, the son of Brett Butler’s character.
Cole’s subsequent role as Ben Geller on Friends further solidified his place in TV history. However, their most iconic role came with Disney Channel’s The Suite Life of Zack & Cody, which focused on their adventures and showcased their chemistry. They later appeared together on the spin-off The Suite Life on Deck, marking their final joint screen appearance.
The Sprouse twins have always spoken highly of their work with Adam Sandler, and it must be gratifying for them to know they made such an impact on a respected industry figure.
Dylan Sprouse was last seen in The Duel and Beautiful Wedding, the sequel to Beautiful Disaster. Cole Sprouse’s recent work includes the horror comedy Lisa Frankenstein.
