Dylan Sprouse, known for his roles alongside twin brother Cole Sprouse, has shared insights about their potential future collaborations. Speaking on the July 31 episode of Live with Kelly and Mark, Dylan discussed his hopes for working with Cole again and the challenges of finding suitable roles for twins.

When asked by hosts Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos about the possibility of teaming up with Cole, Dylan revealed a strong desire to collaborate once more. Despite joking that they "hopefully" don't work together, he expressed enthusiasm for future projects with his twin. “I will say though, there’s not very many good roles for twins in general,” Dylan explained. “It’s usually pretty hokey.”

Dylan humorously noted a past disappointment Cole had with the casting of Tom Hardy as a twin in the 2015 film Legend, saying, “Cole distinctly being kind of bitter about Tom Hardy being a twin. He doesn’t like when people play two different real people.” He added, “I looked at him, and I was like, ‘Cole, I don’t think they were looking for guys like us to play that role, anyway, if they’re hiring Tom Hardy.’”

 

 

In a playful twist, Dylan suggested a comedic idea where Cole could be cast in roles where he meets an untimely demise frequently, reminiscent of the character Kenny from South Park. “I thought it would be pretty funny to start casting him in roles where he gets killed in the movie a lot,” Dylan said, drawing laughs from the audience.

The conversation also touched on a memorable encounter with Matt Damon during their Disney Channel show The Suite Life of Zack & Cody. Ripa recounted Cole's anecdote about the twins blowing off Damon when he visited the set.

Dylan confirmed the story, explaining, “I was a member of a very active World of Warcraft guild, and we had particular raiding days.” He admitted to initially ignoring Damon’s visit to focus on his game, but later regretted it. “I eventually got up and greeted the movie star,” Dylan said. “Looking back, I regret it, but it was hilarious.”
