Dylan and Cole Sprouse captured our hearts over 25 years ago as the adorable twins in *Big Daddy* with Adam Sandler. Now grown men, the brothers aren’t as inseparable as before but remain very close.
Born in 1992, the blonde twins started acting as babies, sharing roles in commercials and TV shows. They gained attention in *Grace Under Fire* as Patrick Kelly from 1993 to 1998. Their breakout role came in *Big Daddy* (1999), where they charmed audiences with their witty performances.
Cole recalled working with Sandler, telling *People* in 2022, “He strikes a very, really good balance between art and business,” and admired how Sandler “raises up all of his friends.”
In 2000, Cole briefly split from Dylan to star as Ross’s son Ben on *Friends*, where he developed a crush on Jennifer Aniston. He admitted, “I’m fairly sure I fell in love with Jennifer Aniston” and often felt intimidated on set.
Today, Cole stars as Jughead in *Riverdale* and is dating model Ari Fournier, while Dylan co-founded All-Wise Meadery and is engaged to model Barbara Palvin.
I Started Wearing “Terrible Wigs” at Work After They Banned My Pink Hair
A 29-year-woman was faced with a dilemma shortly after she took on a job offer. She was told she either had to cover up her pink hair or look for work elsewhere. She accepted the challenge and her amusing way of overcoming the restriction has gone viral.
Emily Benschoter turned to TikTok to share her journey at her new workplace, but with the twist that she can never show her pink hair while she’s on duty. She only found out the fact after she had already been interviewed and offered the position, a front-of-house role in the hospitality industry, because there was no prior contact with her employers in-person or over video chat during the hiring process.
Her manager then suggested she wore a wig and that’s when she decided to pick the funniest ones she could find. Her first TikTok video with the first wig went up on July 19, 2023, and it read: “When you have pink hair, but corporate does not approve, so you wear terrible wigs.”
Since then, people have become invested in her wig choices and her clips have been viewed millions of times. “The worse the wig, the better,” she admitted in an interview. “It is a way to open up the conversation with the customers who think it is insane that I have to cover my pink hair.”
In the same interview, Benschoter also took time to explain why she didn’t just simply dye her hair instead. “Dying my hair for a job I work at for 40 hours per week wasn’t an option,” she revealed. “I am a self-expressive person and I feel very confident with pink hair, so I came up with a solution to keep the job and my hair.”
Despite her having fun with the situation, she doesn’t approve of it. “It’s dehumanizing that I can’t be accepted at face value because my hair is a non-traditional color,” she said. “It’s so superficial that my hair color is an obstacle.”
As we’ve seen, job requirements when it comes to our physical appearance can be an issue for some. For a woman known as the “Dragon Girl,” it’s actually been an impossible task to overcome. Amber Luke chose to get over 600 tattoos to change her appearance, but now people refuse to employ her.
