Friends actor who played Ross’s son Ben, Cole Sprouse, graduates!

He rose to fame alongside David Schwimmer, playing his character Ross Geller's adorable son, Ben. And now Cole Sprouse, who also starred his brother on their sitcom The Suite Life of Zack & Cody, is all grown up.

This week the brothers graduated from New York University, with honors no less! The twins, 22, have achieved a major milestone in their lives and can proudly call themselves university graduates.

Cole, taking a note from his on-screen dad love of all thinks historical, has completed a major in archaeology, while brother Dylan received a degree in video game design.

Flashing toothie grins in their purple gowns and black mortarboards, the TV twins look like confident young men.

“We just graduated! Dylan bit me right after the last pic. #NYU,” Cole tweeted alongside a photo collage with his brother.

The actor took a moment to reflect on his studies, writing:

“We’ve tried to do right, to fix some of the negative stereotypes of child stardom. We’ve had some bumps, but I’m so glad we went to Uni.”

Dylan was quick to agree, sharing a snap of himself with Cole in their robes with the caption, “Smarter better faster stronger. Finished NYU now on to the next.”

A huge congratulations to both boys on their fantastic achievement both showcasing amazing amounts of unagi!

Ross, played by David Schwimmer, would be so proud

Who could forget what a cutie Cole was when he portrayed Ross Gellar’s adorable son, Ben.

It’s hard to believe this handsome 19-year-old is in fact little Ben Geller!
