Cole's Early Life and Family Background

Cole Sprouse, along with his twin brother Dylan, was born in Italy where their parents were teaching. Their unique upbringing included experiencing life in a picturesque setting like Tuscany before moving to Switzerland and eventually to the United States after their parents' divorce. Both brothers began acting before they were even a year old, primarily driven by their mother's need for an income. Cole describes the early acting gigs as a means to put food on the table and highlights the duality of child actors, where some are drawn to the art while others are working-class children in the industry.
