Dylan and Cole Sprouse, the identical twins who won over audiences in the late 1990s and early 2000s, have long since grown up. Now 30 years old, the brothers are remembered for their breakout performances as toddlers in Grace Under Fire (1993–1998), where they shared the role of Patrick Kelly, and later for playing Adam Sandler’s adorable sidekick in Big Daddy. Born in 1992, they started acting at just 8 months old, appearing in commercials and television before landing bigger roles.
Like Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, the Sprouse twins benefited from Hollywood’s reliance on identical siblings to work around child labor laws, which limit how long children can be on set. Their charm and talent quickly made them fan favorites, and their joint performances became a staple of family-friendly TV and film.
Though no longer the inseparable little boys audiences first met, Dylan and Cole remain close as adults. Each has taken his own path in acting, business, and creative ventures, but both continue to be recognized for their early roles and their lasting mark on pop culture. From child stars to accomplished adults, the Sprouse twins have grown up in the spotlight while still maintaining the bond that made them famous.
