Childhood on the Set

Dylan Thomas Sprouse was born on August 4, 1992, in Arezzo, Italy, where his American parents were teaching English. Fifteen minutes later, his twin brother Cole was born.

At first glance, the Sprouse family was not connected to art or show business, but the twins' grandmother Jonine Booth Wright was an actress and drama teacher. She dreamed of an artistic career for her grandsons. They named Dylan after the poet Dylan Thomas, and Cole after a popular jazz musician, who was also a favorite of the twins' parents.

Four months after the brothers were born, the Sprouse family returned to America, and two months later, Dylan and Cole's acting career began with a diaper commercial. The cute babies caught the attention of producers who offered their parents to cast the boys in the series "Grace Under Fire." It should be noted that in the American film industry, underage twins are very popular because the law strictly limits the time a child can spend on set, so following their TV debut, other roles followed.

For five years, the brothers played the role of Patrick, the youngest son of the series' main character. Thus, the twins practically grew up on the set. During their time on "Grace Under Fire," the Sprouse family underwent changes: the twins' parents divorced, and the boys stayed with their father and his new wife.

In 1998, the production of the series ended, but thanks to ABC, Dylan and Cole became well-known and loved across America. In 1999, the experienced seven-year-old actors Dylan and Cole played the main role in the movie "Big Daddy," with Adam Sandler as their co-star.

In 1999, Dylan and Cole appeared on screen in the movie "The Astronaut's Wife," alongside Johnny Depp and Charlize Theron. This time, the boys played different characters.

After that, Dylan took a creative break. In an interview, he mentioned that it was only during this period that he had the opportunity to be a regular child. Then, in 2002, the Christmas movie "I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus" was released, where Dylan played the main child role, again sharing it with his brother.

In their next movie "Just for Kicks," the twins played separate roles. This family comedy was a huge success, and the Sprouse brothers' fan base grew significantly.

But real fame came to Dylan and his brother in 2005 when the teen series "The Suite Life of Zack & Cody" was released by Disney. In this series, Dylan and Cole Sprouse played twins, almost portraying themselves.

Zack and Cody live in the upscale Tipton Hotel because their mother works there as a singer. The twins are left to their own devices as their mother is constantly busy with rehearsals, leading to endless adventures.

The series exceeded all expectations, so in 2008, its sequel "The Suite Life on Deck" was released. In addition, a feature film about the brothers Zack and Cody was made.

It's worth noting that Dylan also starred in series and films for youth. In 2005, the crime drama "The Heart Is Deceitful Above All Things" was released, where Dylan played the role of young Jeremiah.

In 2006, after the premiere of the drama "The Heart Is Deceitful Above All Things," it became clear how great Dylan's acting potential was, as well as his brother's, showing that they were capable of playing more than just charming mischief-makers. In "The Heart Is Deceitful Above All Things," the brothers played the son of a drug-abusing prostitute who neglects her son's upbringing. The child has to look for food in the trash and also faces harassment from his mother's clients. Critics and audiences were ecstatic.

While working on the series, the twins also starred in the movie "A Modern Twain Story: The Prince and the Pauper," which hit the big screen in 2007. As the title suggests, it's a story about two teenagers from different social strata who look very similar to each other.

The popularity of Dylan and his brother was so high that in 2005 they registered the trademark "Sprouse Bros," specializing in the release of clothing for teenagers. The brand lasted until 2008.

Education

In 2010, Dylan and Cole Sprouse decided to take a break from their acting careers and enrolled at New York University. However, adjusting to a "regular" school schedule was challenging for them, so after the first year, the twins transferred to the Gallatin School of Individualized Study within New York University, where students could design their own curriculum. Dylan graduated in 2015 with a degree in video game design.

It is noteworthy that Dylan Sprouse has always had a wide range of interests: he learned Spanish as a teenager, dedicated much time to photography, and since 2010, Sprouse Arts has featured photos of art works created by Dylan.

In 2013, he worked as a restaurant host to "gain new experiences." During this period, he lived solely on the income he earned from the restaurant.

Intermission

After graduating from university, Cole Sprouse returned to the set, while Dylan was in no hurry to get back into show business. Glossy magazines featured articles stating that Dylan had given up on a career as a star and chose the life of an ordinary person. He stopped keeping in touch with old friends, opened his own bar, and worked at his own brewery, All-Wise Meadery. It's worth noting that the actor began producing beer and mead while still in college, which was not entirely legal.

In interviews from that time, Dylan said he was tired of the stereotypical twin roles and was not ready to play characters that could be described in two words.

The Comeback

Dylan Sprouse's fans didn't have to miss their idol for long. In 2017, the star appeared in the thriller "Dismissed," where Dylan's character cunningly seeks revenge on his literature teacher for a low grade.

That same year, he starred in the short film "Carte Blanche." The film also featured Jack Kilmer and Jordan Barrett. In an interview, Sprouse mentioned that his character is deeply emotional and capable of empathy.

In 2018, Sprouse was preparing to travel to China to participate in the historical film "The Curse of Turandot." The actor, who landed the role of Prince Calaf, learned sword fighting and horseback riding as he decided to perform all the stunts himself, without a stunt double. In an interview timed to this event, Dylan said he had planned several diverse projects for the near future.

"The Curse of Turandot" was released in China in the fall of 2021 but received a cold response from local audiences. On the Chinese social network Weibo, the film was called the worst film of the year and criticized for its "kitschy combination of the worst of Western and Asian cinema."

In 2020, Dylan Sprouse delighted his fans again by appearing on screen. He starred in the second installment of the popular romance "After." Dylan played the role of the new love interest of the main character ( Josephine Langford). It was also announced that Sprouse would star in the "pandemic" thriller "Tyger Tyger." The film was released in a limited edition in February 2021 and received mixed reviews: some called it an "ode to art," while others described it as "incoherent nonsense."

In 2022, the actor could be seen in the romantic comedy "My Fake Boyfriend." Dylan was joined on set by Sarah Hyland and Keiynan Lonsdale.

Dylan Sprouse's Personal Life

Dylan Sprouse has been incredibly popular with the ladies throughout his life. Girls have been crazy about him ever since he starred in "The Suite Life of Zack & Cody."

It's worth mentioning that Dylan is not as much of a ladies' man as his brother Cole. Despite journalists following his every move, there's not much information about his romantic life. In 2006, he had a warm relationship with singer and star of the series "Hannah Montana," Miley Cyrus.
Dylan's most noteworthy relationship was with model Dayna Frazer, which lasted from 2014 to 2017. Later, information appeared on the young woman's social media suggesting Dylan had been unfaithful to her.

Since the spring of 2018, Dylan has been in a relationship with Hungarian top model Barbara Palvin. In March 2023, the couple got engaged, and in July of the same year, they got married. The ceremony took place in Hungary, the bride's homeland.

The Sprouse twins spend a lot of time together, sharing plans and ideas. Dylan is not fond of social media or the excessive attention that comes with it. Despite his good looks and massive popularity, he doesn't suffer from any sort of celebrity complex.
