Cole Sprouse with long hair. New name: Riverdale star Cole Sprouse

Biography

Twins Dylan and Cole were born in the Italian city of Arezzo, where their parents Matthew Sprouse and Melanie Wright taught English in Tuscany. Cole was named after American jazz singer and pianist Nat King Cole. 4 months after Cole was born, his family moved to Long Beach, California. Cole graduated from high school in June 2010 Laurel Springs School.

Career

The Sprouse brothers began their careers in film and television early, at 8 months to be exact, thanks to their grandmother, Joneen Booth Wright, an actress and drama teacher. Moreover, the brothers always played either together, or even the same role for two.

Among the roles that Cole Sprouse shared with his brother early in his career: the role of Patrick Kelly in the television series Grace on Fire (1993-1998), the role of Julian in the 1999 film Big Daddy and little Pistachio Disguise in the comedy film The Master reincarnation." In addition to Big Daddy with Adam Sandler, in 1999 Cole played in the film The Astronaut's Wife with Johnny Depp and Charlize Theron. In 2001, Cole began appearing in episodes of the television series Friends as Ross Geller's son, Ben. This was the first role where he was not dubbed by his brother.

In 2005, he played the role of Cody Martin in the Disney Channel television series The Suite Life of Zack and Cody, where his brother Dylan played Zack Martin. The series received significant fame and a number of sequels, and Zack and Cody appeared in cameos in a number of other television projects (such as “Wizards of Waverly Place” and “Hannah Montana”).

However, in 2011, they announced a break from acting and enrolling at New York University, where Cole focused on archeology and other humanities. After graduating from university (in 2015), both brothers returned to their film careers, but now each separately.

In March 2019, the film “Five Feet Apart” will premiere in the United States, starring Cole Sprouse and Haley Lu Richardson. In Russia, the film company Volga acquired the rights to show the film.

"Riverdale"

In an interview dedicated to Jughead, Cole said that he had been familiar with Archie comics since childhood, although he admitted that they were not his favorite reading. His Jughead, unlike the one in the comics, is less passionate about food. However, according to Cole, he tries to chew something small in each episode to remind his character of this hobby.

The most interesting thing was the situation with Jughead Jones's headdress. Archie comics began in the early 1940s, and Jughead wore a felt hat with a zig-zag cut and raised brim, the so-called "Whoopee cap", popular in the pre-war years. Over the years of publication of the comic, this headdress completely fell out of use and became associated only with Jughead. In the series, Jughead wears a modern wool hat, but the brim is cut and folded in the same way as it was from the beginning. Cole Sprouse says, “The beanie (Cole calls it a beanie crown) seemed more modern and more appropriate for the show. They are still connected. It's still weird. It’s a completely different hat, but the essence remains the same.”

The selection of actors turned out to be successful - the series received generally positive reviews, and both leading actors were awarded awards. Cole Sprouse received the Teen Choice Awards for 2017 for his role as Jughead Jones in two categories at once - “Best Actor in a Drama Series” and “Best On-Screen Couple” (shared with Lili Reinhart).

Personal life

Since 2017, Cole has been dating his Riverdale co-star Lili Reinhart.

• Cole has been snowboarding since he was 4 years old.

• He attended New York University at the same time as Camila Mendes, his Riverdale co-star. However, at that time they were strangers.

• Cole dyed his hair black for his role in the TV series Riverdale. In fact, he is a natural blond.

Birthday August 04, 1992

American actors, best known for their roles as twins in the series “The Suite Life of Zack and Cody” and “The Suite Life on Deck”

Biography

The twins were born in the Italian city of Arezzo, where their parents Matthew Sprouse and Melanie Wright taught English in Tuscany. Dylan was named after poet Dylan Thomas, and Cole was named after jazz singer and pianist Nat King Cole. Dylan is 15 minutes older than his brother.

Four months later, the family returned to America, Long Beach (California). In 1997, their parents divorced, and the brothers remained to live with their father and stepmother.

The brothers got their first acting experience thanks to their grandmother, who was an actress in her youth. The first major and conscious acting experience was a role in the film “Big Daddy”, where twins played the same character (in accordance with the widespread practice in the United States of inviting twin children to play one role, which allows overcoming legal restrictions on the length of a filming day for a child) . After that, they played several more small roles, and real success came after the roles of Zack and Cody in the teen series “The Suite Life of Zack and Cody” in 2005. After successful three seasons, the sequel “Everything is tip top, or life on board” started, where the brothers were also assigned the main roles.

Personal life

The brothers live in Los Angeles with their father, stepmother and three dogs.

Dylan is studying acting in New York, Cole is learning French and plans to actively pursue an acting career.

In 2005, they registered the Sprouse Bros trademark, under which they produce a line of teenage clothing. Based on the series with their participation, a series of books was published, as well as a series of detective works “47 R.O.N.I.N”, telling about the adventures of two brothers Tom and Mitch.

But his real breakthrough was the series Riverdale, which is now receiving critical acclaim. Viewers note a new perspective on well-known situations, difficulties in accepting oneself and social interaction among high school students.

About personality development:

From an early age, Cole was involved in voice acting for cartoons and also worked actively in advertising. During his teenage years, he began landing roles in popular Disney series and by 2011, along with his twin brother, he had achieved the status of the highest paid child actors.

After this event, Cole decided to take a break from all the hype and, together with his brother Dylan, entered New York University, and also concentrated on his hobby - photography.

Dylan and I made a conscious decision to step away from the industry for a while. And we entered an educational institution, a very prestigious one, I must say, because they wanted this to be a kind of step towards success. But because we didn’t choose acting or vocals, many people took it negatively, even saw it as a kind of failure, because everyone thinks that actors are not capable of anything else. After the series ended, people literally followed us, so we decided to distance ourselves from the industry and disappear for a while. And we were pleasantly surprised by how often people contacted us to ask where we were and what we were doing.

Cole studied archeology, and Dylan studied video game design. It seemed to both of them that they already had enough acting experience and they didn’t need to spend a few more years on education.

University doesn't teach you how to be smart. This is one of the most important lessons I learned from my NYU experience. You have always had the intelligence that you have. University simply teaches you how to use different arguments. Awareness leads to intelligence and makes you a smart and understanding person. So I guess I got that awareness.

He was prompted to reappear on the screens by a new successful project - the drama series Riverdale. Filming is based on the Archie comics, and even before the pilot was released, it was clear that the plot would attract many fans.

About your hobbies:

Surprisingly, Cole himself calls himself an archaeologist, not an actor, declaring that archeology is the profession that he wants to pursue throughout his life.

I'm an archaeologist, I studied archaeology. This is the profession I want to do and how I would like people to see me. Photography was initially just a hobby for me. Then I realized that I can make money from this, and that’s good. This way I can express myself and work as a photojournalist at the same time.

It seems strange to him to be called an “artist.” What he considers meaningful is when other photographers recognize him as a photographer, as part of the industry.

Cole loves exploring new places and photographing other people. Sometimes he even sneaks into closed spaces illegally. He has to look for places where no one would recognize him, so he loves uninhabited areas.

If you came with me to explore new places, it is likely that it would be a little scary.

It can be inspired by any photo on Instagram.

My biggest inspiration is from people my age who I work with or photograph. They really helped me develop my style. No one is completely individual, that is simply impossible. Everyone works with something that already exists and creates their own work based on it.

In addition, he worries that people will not look for sexual connotations in his work - as a guy, he photographs beautiful girls.

About freedom:

New cover and interview for #ASOS magazine. Sell ​​lemonade, earn cash, and then spend it all on this publication. Send a magazine to your enemies, send a magazine to your friends, fold me into origami swans, it doesn't matter because it's too late, you've contributed to capitalism.

He openly talks about many things that are still considered taboo in our society. For example, about the importance of revealing different sexuality in cinema.

There's nothing he won't post about on social media because he's afraid of being judged, whether it's discussing erections or joking about how his twin has a brain the size of a nut.

Sometimes before I leave home, I wave goodbye to my laptop camera just to make an FBI agent's day better. Friendliness is contagious, you know.

Jokes aside, he's also outspoken on politics, speaking out about the need for net neutrality, and supporting women in the #metoo movement.
