Cole Sprouse has been acting alongside his twin brother, Dylan, since he was 8-months-old, but it looks like nothing has ever been harder for him than his first solo gig. Cast on Friends as Ross Geller's son when he was 8, Cole shared a few adorable scenes with Jennifer Aniston (who played Rachel Green) and couldn't help but fall in love with the actress.

"That's when I fell in love with her, yeah," explained Cole during an interview on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert. "I remember feeling so, so intimidated by my crush on her that I completely blanked and forgot every single one of my lines and she just stared at me and was waiting." But then again, who wouldn't fall in love with Jennifer Aniston?

After taking a five-year hiatus from acting to study archaeology and travel the world, Cole decided to start acting again when his agent asked him to audition for Riverdale — where he met his now girlfriend Lili Reinhart — and the rest is history.
