Jennifer Aniston had a hilarious reaction to learning how old herFriends co-star, Cole Sprouse, and his twin brother, Dylan Sprouse, are. The 54-year-old discussed her former Friends co-star, who played Ben, the son of David Schwimmer's character, Ross Geller, during a recent interview with Access Hollywood.
The Just Go With It actress, 54, was Rachel Greene on the American sitcom for 10 years, alongside Cole who played Ross Geller's (David Schwimmer) son Ben. First introduced at the end of season 1 in 1995, Ben was born in the season finale and was first played by the Allen twins on the show between 1996 and 1999.
Dylan Thomas Sprouse (born August 4, 1992) is an American actor. He is best known for his role as Zack Martin on the Disney Channel series The Suite Life of Zack & Cody and its spin-off, The Suite Life on Deck, where he starred alongside his twin brother Cole Sprouse.
You may not have known though that Ross' son Ben was actually played by twins; Dylan and Cole Sprouse. Yup that's the same two that played Zac and Cody in the Disney show The Suite Life of Zack & Cody.

Since Ben Geller's role was limited and the timeline had them at an age where they didn't require a twin in case of behavioral issues, hiring both of them would have been unnecessarily expensive. Therefore, Ben Geller ultimately went to only Cole Sprouse - his first project that didn't also feature Dylan.

The part of Ben was actually played by four different actors throughout the show. The first, when Ben was born, was Michael Gunderson, before twin toddlers Charles Thomas Allen and John Christopher Allen took over.
From what Celebrity Net Worth reports, Dylan Sprouse has a smaller net worth than his brother Cole. Today, he is sitting at $5 million. This total comes from the movie My Fake Boyfriend, and TV projects including The Suite Life of Zack & Cody, The Suite Life Movie, and Saturday Morning All Star Hits!.
More than likely, the writers had to pick concise storylines and Ben didn't fit in any of them at the time. Sprouse himself has added fuel to the speculation after answering fan questions in a video for GQ in February 2019, several years after Friends ended.
Cole's hair is dyed much darker than Dylan's, who has kept his signature blond locks. However, there's another way to tell them apart other than just hair color. Dylan has a mole on the left side of his upper lip, while Cole has one on the left side of his chin.
Dylan Sprouse and Barbara Palvin announced their engagement nearly a year after the actor popped the question. The couple, who have been together since 2018, revealed the news Thursday on Instagram with posts of them dolled up in full bride and groom attire for V magazine's Fall 2023 cover.
The news first broke in March after Palvin was spotted wearing an engagement ring, and the couple confirmed the news on June 15, 2023.
It's hard to believe but Noelle and Cali Sheldon, the twins who played Emma Geller-Green in Friends, are 16-years-old. The pair shared the role of Rachel and Ross' baby in the series from 2003 until it ended one year later.
Louis Mandylor, who plays Carl, the "fake Joey," was one of the finalists for the role of Joey when the producers were casting the show.

Because her appearance on Friends was so successful, Grey was later asked to reprise her role for the show's Season 2 finale in 1996, in which Mindy weds Barry. However, she couldn't deal with the stress of it, and actress Jana Marie Hupp took over the part.
The incident was kept a secret until Ross finds "Property of Human Services" stamped on his son. Following the episode, a portion of viewers debated whether or not Joey and Chandler picked the right baby, but a key scene at the end of the episode hints that the men did indeed get the real Ben back.
One popular theory is that the actors who played them, Jane Sibbett and Elliott Gould, left the show due to salary disputes. Another theory is that their characters were written out because the writers felt they weren't working well with the rest of the cast.
At the time, the twins “had a really awesome idea for where the show needed to go,” but it got turned down. “We were 18. If that isn't old enough to know exactly what the show needs, then…well, I would beg to disagree,” the actor said. “I don't think [Disney] were willing to work with us, really ever.

Emma isn't actually seen again, but it's expected that Rachel contacted her mother to ask her not to take the infant to Paris. Theoretically, with Ross and Rachel back together, Emma's co-parenting arrangement has changed to include both of her biological parents, rather than just one.
