Cole and Dylan Sprouse were put into the acting industry by their mother, Melanie Wright, when they were just eight months old due to financial need. In a since-deleted Tumblr post, Cole revealed that he and his brother had no choice but to work as kids because they were broke. He further discussed this in an appearance on the “Call Her Daddy” podcast, noting that their mother was “financially irresponsible” and that she “lost her mind” due to addiction and mental instability. Despite this, Cole chose to continue acting, which he considers the “greatest wound in my life”.
