Adam Sandler fans have been left shocked after discovering a surprising fact about Dylan and Cole Sprouse, who played Julian in the film Big Daddy. The 1999 comedy-drama tells the story of Sonny Koufax, a charming 32-year-old slacker portrayed by Adam . Despite holding a law degree, Sonny aimlessly wanders through life.
After receiving a $200,000 payout from a minor accident, he spends his days watching TV and playing games. He works one day a week at a toll booth and depends on his slightly inept friend Nazo, played by Rob Schneider, for daily food deliveries. Sonny's girlfriend Vanessa breaks up with him due to his lack of ambition and direction, expressing her desire for a solid "five year plan" for their future.
His life takes an unexpected twist when his roommate Kevin Gerrity, a lawyer, departs for a work trip to China, leaving Sonny alone in the apartment. The next morning, he discovers a five year old boy from Buffalo named Julian, played by twins Dylan and Cole Sprouse, abandoned at their apartment with a note stating his mother can no longer care for him due to a severe illness. The note also says that Kevin is Julian's biological father.
When Sonny contacts Kevin to inform him, his friend is perplexed, insisting he has never visited Buffalo. Sonny, played by Adam Sandler, finds himself in an unexpected role as a caretaker for young Julian when Kevin jets off to China. Despite his initial cluelessness about kids, Sonny's heart melts for the little one, leading to a life-altering bond.
Fans of the hit comedy 'Big Daddy' were left gobsmacked upon realizing that Adam Sandler was 32 at the time of filming – the same age the Sprouse twins are today. The adorable pair, who shared the role of Julian and were born on August 4, 1992, were just six years old during their stint in the movie. Now, at 32, they've continued to dazzle fans with their acting chops.
Cole Sprouse, remembered for playing Ross Geller's son Ben on 'Friends', has since become a familiar face on TV through his role in 'Riverdale', and films like 'Five Feet Apart' and 'Lisa Frankenstein'. Dylan Sprouse, married to model Barbara Palvin, also remains in the spotlight with roles in movies such as After We Collided and 'Beautiful Disaster'. A Reddit user's post went viral, stating: "TIL [today I learned] that Cole and Dylan Sprouse are now the same age Adam Sandler was when he played their adoptive dad in Big Daddy".
This eye-opening fact triggered a wave of nostalgic reactions online, with someone tagging the subreddit "F**k I'm old" while another joked about feeling their age: "Swear I felt my shoulder pop reading this". Another Reddit user expressed their own personal moment of disbelief, exclaiming: "I'm f- - -king older than he [Adam Sandler] was in that movie? ! ?"
