Jennifer Aniston couldn’t conceal her surprise when she learned the present age of Cole Sprouse, who played the child character Ben on Friends.
For ten years, the Just Go With It actress, 54, portrayed Rachel Greene on the American comedy, opposite Cole, who played Ross Geller’s (David Schwimmer) son Ben.
Ben was born in the season finale of Season 1 in 1995 and was first portrayed by the Allen brothers on the programme between 1996 and 1999.
However, by the sixth season of the program, Ben was mature enough to be played by a single actor, and Cole carried on the part for another two years.
Cole went on to appear in the famous Disney kids’ sitcom The Suite Life of Zack & Cody alongside his twin brother Dylan after his triumph on Friends.
Jennifer was informed in 2023 that the Sprouse twins are both 30 years ago, and she couldn’t believe how much her former co-star had grown up.
‘What?!’ she exclaimed, along with Murder Mystery 2 co-star Adam Sandler, who co-starred in the 1999 picture Big Daddy with both Sprouses.
‘No, no they’re not!’ Jennifer protested, despite the fact that she was only in her 30s when she first appeared alongside Cole in an episode of Friends.
During the Access interview, Adam claimed responsibility for training Cole in 1999 so that he could portray Ben later that year.
Cole made his Riverdale debut as Ben in the season 6 episode The One That Could Have Been, and has since appeared in six more episodes.
Jennifer and Cole appeared in several sequences together during the seventh season of the show, where she shows him how to prank his parents in a variety of ways.
He was last seen in the season 8 episode The One Where Joey Dates Rachel, but his father Ross referenced him several times before the series ended.
Jennifer attended Adam’s Mark Twain Prize ceremony for services to American humour earlier this month, alongside actor Drew Barrymore.
The two followed him to the event at the Kennedy Center, where they applauded their film co-star as he accepted the award.
