It's hard to believe these guys, Dylan & Cole, born in 1992 are already college students in their mid 20s. They've both temporarily given up acting to free up time for college & other stuff, after postponing college a while, as long as Disney paid them well.
In 2010, the twin brothers were both accepted to New York University. They originally planned to attend the university in the fall of 2010. But delayed for a year. Dylan was planning on majoring in fine/studio arts and minoring in economics while Cole planned on majoring in film and television production and minoring in drama. Instead, they both enrolled in the Gallatin School of Individualized Study, which allows students to plan their own curriculum. Cole is focusing his curriculum on the humanities and archaeology while Dylan is focusing on video game design. In 2011, Dylan was elected president of the Third Avenue North residence hall at NYU.
In 2012, Dylan and Cole were officially appointed as the International Ambassadors of the Koyamada Foundation. They traveled to Japan with Shin Koyamada to empower the youth of Japan to better themselves and rebuild Japan as a society as well as to deepen the friendly relations and brotherhood between the youth of Japan and America in August 2013.
In 2014, Dylan began commentating Super Smash Bros: Melee tournaments.
Now Dylan is working as host as a New York restaurant. When the news got out, Dylan posted on Tumblr that he is there for the experience, not because his Disney money has gone up in smoke.
“So many pictures have gotten out that I’m now working as a host at a restaurant in NY,” he wrote. “To clear up the air (which is admittedly pretty rude), I did not take this job because I ‘lost all my money’, I am financially secure, and took this job as a way to primarily feed my over bountiful video game addiction. I also too this as a way to try a new experience, working somewhat below the means I’m used to, as well as a way to socialize and get out of the house. I feel most comfortable when I’m working and doing something, to criticize someone of that is pretty odd. I will potentially return to acting someday, but in no way do I think any experience is a step down for me, but rather a new step in another direction.
Sprouse and his brother were reportedly the richest teenage twins in the world in 2010.
