Cole Sprouse interview
In connection with his studies, he took a break from his acting career, noting that he considers moving to New York to be an amazing event, which allowed him to understand how spoiled he was, to reevaluate his achievements and really feel the daily self-realization.
In the press, the story of the brothers was called not typical for Hollywood, in good sense words. After all, often creative people in the pursuit of self-knowledge, they go through a passion for alcohol, drugs, try to express themselves through the demonstration of wild antics, indecent selfies, statements about bisexuality, etc. But all this is not about the Sprouse brothers.
But the real breakthrough for him was the series "Riverdale", which is now receiving critical acclaim with might and main. Viewers celebrate A New Look well-known situations, difficulties in accepting oneself and social interaction high school students.
About personal development:
From an early age, Cole was engaged in voice acting for cartoons, and also actively worked in advertising. In his teenage years, he began to get roles in popular Disney series and by 2011, along with his twin brother, he had gained 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 they entered educational institution, very prestigious, I must say, because they wanted it 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 no longer capable of anything. 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 are and what we do.
Cole studied archeology and Dylan studied video game design. It seemed to both of them that they already had enough acting experience and they did not need to spend a few more years on education.
The university does not teach you how to be smart. This is one of the most important lessons that I took away from my experience at NYU. You have always had the intelligence that you have. The university simply teaches 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 a lot of fans.
About my hobbies:
Surprisingly, Cole himself calls himself an archaeologist, not an actor, stating that archeology is the profession that he wants to do throughout his life.
I am an archaeologist, I studied archeology. This is the profession I want to be in and how I would like people to see me. Photography was originally just a hobby for me. Then I realized that I can make money on it, and that's good. This is how I can express myself and work in the field of photojournalism at the same time.
It seems strange to him to be called an "artist". What he considers significant is when other photographers recognize him as a photographer, part of the industry.
Cole loves to explore new places and take pictures of other people. Sometimes he even sneaks into enclosed spaces illegal. He has to look for places where no one would recognize him, so he likes deserted territories.
If you went with me to explore new places, it is likely that it would be scary.
Inspiration for him can be any picture on Instagram.
What inspires me the most is the people my age that I work with or photograph. They helped me a lot to develop my style. No one is completely individual, it 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 edition. Send the magazine to your enemies, send the magazine to your friends, fold me into origami swans, it doesn't matter, because it's too late, you've done your bit for capitalism.
He talks openly about many things that are still considered taboo in our society. For example, about the importance of revealing different sexualities in cinema.
There is nothing for him that he won't post on social media because he's afraid of being judged, whether it's discussing erections or joking about his twin's brain being the size of a walnut.
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.
Joking aside, he also speaks out about politics, speaks out about the need for net neutrality, and supports women in the #metoo movement.

- Vulture. The Post-Suite Life Life of Dylan Sprouse .
He was born in Arezzo, Italy. His parents (both Americans) taught English in Tuscany. Four months after Cole and Dylan were born, the family moved to Long Beach, California.
He is the younger of the twins. Dylan is 15 minutes older.
He has a talented namesake. His parents chose the name "Cole" in honor of jazz singer and pianist Nat King Cole.
Cole and Dylan tease each other all the time. For example, they often come to each other in comments in in social networks. So, once Dylan wrote to Cole that he was an unplanned child. To this, Cole replied, "but I was a favorite son."
Acting ability Cole and Dylan inherited from their grandmother Janine Booth Wright, an actress and teacher acting skills. It was at her suggestion that the boys, at the age of only eight months, began acting career They starred in a diaper commercial.

Among them is the telegram channel @SciFiNews, whose authors write the most suitable analytical materials - analyzes and theories of fans, interpretations of post-title scenes, as well as the secrets of bomb franchises, like films MARVEL And " Game of Thrones". Subscribe so you don't have to search later - @SciFiNews . But back to our topic...
On early stage Dylan and Cole often played the same character. Under the child labor law, little actors can only spend a limited amount of time on set each day. Since the Sprouse twins look almost the same, they often substituted for each other on set. At eight months they played Patrick Kelly on Grace on Fire and at seven they played Julian Koufax on Big Daddy.
Cole started playing without his brother in 2001. He played Ross Geller's son Ben on Friends.
Jennifer Aniston was Cole's childhood crush. In an interview with The New York Post, the actor revealed that sharing scenes with the Friends star was not easy for him. “It was very hard for me to work with Aniston because I was head over heels in love with her. I was delighted. I was at a loss for words. I forgot my lines… It was so hard!”
He is a Disney Channel star. Cole played Cody Martin on the TV series The Life of Zack and Cody from 2005 to 2008 and then on The Life on Board from 2008 to 2011.
He is very clever. During the filming of "Everything is Tip-Top, or the Life of Zack and Cody," Cole spent three hours every day with a tutor. In one year, he completed an advanced program in psychology and political science, and then was accepted to New York University, where he studied humanitarian sciences and archaeology.
Cole went to college to go into the shadows after years of working on the Disney Channel."My and my brother's goal in college was just to disappear," Cole told WWD. - “It's no secret that when the period of childhood glory passes, many experience it hard. I didn't want to make this a public spectacle. So college was part of the purpose of showing everyone what I went through. difficult period, but he did it gracefully and deftly and at the same time received an education.
The idea of "Riverdale" did not immediately make the right impression on him. When Sprouse's manager sent him the script, Cole was working at an archaeological lab in Brooklyn. "At first, when I got the script for Archie's show, I immediately turned it down," Cleaver told WWD. - "But in last years Archie's comics have improved a lot."
Cole originally auditioned for the role of Archie. However, he was interested in the character of Jughead. "He's very weird," Cole admitted to WWD. - “He has a unique perception - he sees the city and his friends from an objective point of view. He looks and listens. He's the guy with the camera who's watching the action. He distanced himself from many people in the city due to his vulnerability and inability to get along with people." Seems like the perfect fit for Cole.
Believe it or not, Cole is a fan of the Betty + Archie couple."When I read Archie comics as a teenager, I rooted for the preservation of the Betty and Archie couple," he told Elle.com. - "I think that the relationship of two people, knowing friend friend from youth - it's very romantic. I'm a fan of this kind of romantic storytelling."
However, there is evidence that Cole is dating his Riverdale partner Lili Reinhart, who plays. For example, many sources report that "Reinhart was spotted with Sprouse at San Diego Comic-Con on Saturday night. They held hands and kissed."
