Did Cole Sprouse Ever Reunite With FRIENDS Cast After His Childhood Stint On The Show? Actor Reveals
Riverdale star Cole Sprouse recently revealed if he reconnected with the FRIENDS cast after his childhood stint on the sitcom.
For every FRIENDS show lover, here is some update: Cole Sprouse, who played Ross Geller's son, Ben, shared he has never encountered any of the hit sitcom’s cast as an adult.
American actor and photographer Cole Sprouse happily discussed his time on FRIENDS, where he played Ben Geller from 2000 to 2002, starting at age seven.
“FRIENDS has become such an iconic entity now," he shared, while speaking with PEOPLE magazine. "But I was only in it for 10 episodes! Plus," the actor added, further continuing, "I was just a kid. So my memories of those 10 episodes are probably quite different from those of an older cast member who did a thousand episodes."
