Dylan Sprouse has a fact check for his former costar Adam Sandler. During Sandler’s press tour for his new movie “Murder Mystery 2,” the 56-year-old star told Access that he’d recently run into Sprouse – who he starred with in 1999’s “Big Daddy” – at “like 2 in a morning.” On April 25, Access showed Dylan, 30, the same clip, and he had some jokes for his longtime friend.

“That clip is funny because I was just in Paris very briefly and I did see Adam, but it was not 2 a.m. It was 8 p.m.,” Dylan explained. He joked, “He’s just old. Like, dude, go to sleep. Adam, if 8 p.m. feels like 2 a.m., go to bed.”

Dylan and his twin brother Cole (who stars as Jughead in “Riverdale“) together played 5-year-old Julian in “Big Daddy,” which was their acting debut. The twins continued to split roles throughout their childhood, with a push from their parents, though only Cole played Ross’s son Ben Geller in “Friends” in the early 2000s. In 2005, Dylan and Cole got their big break when they starred as the titular heroes of Disney Channel’s “The Suite Life of Zack & Cody.” While Cole now appears in “Riverdale,” Dylan has made less frequent appearances on screen. He recently starred in the movie “Beautiful Disaster.”

During his interview with Access, Dylan also shared some details about his time filming “Big Daddy.” “Nowadays we shoot everything very fast. Feature-length movies will take a month . . . we shot that movie for four months,” he explained. And, of course, he blamed Sandler for the delay.

“Half of it was because between every take Adam had a cooler full of beer and a basketball setup that he would watch in between takes, and so it just dragged on,” Dylan explained, adding, “It was amazing.” The Sprouse twins have both stayed friends with Sandler through the years; Cole even attended the 2019 premiere of Sandler’s “Uncut Gems.”
