We'll be there for Jennifer Aniston as she processes this news.
The actress was recently left flabbergasted after learning that her Friends co-star Cole Sprouse—who starred in the show as Ben Geller—is now 30 years old.
"What?" Jennifer exclaimed in an interview with Access Hollywood published March 28. Raising her hands above her head, she added of Cole and his twin brother Dylan Sprouse, "No, no, they're not. Wow, that's so crazy."
And that's not the only surprise Jennifer learned about Cole, who was seven years old when he began shooting Friends and was crushing on the actress at the time.
Jennifer's reaction? She added, "He was so little."
On Cole's side of things, he admitted on the Drew Barrymore Show in January 2021 that his onset crush made it "quite difficult to work in front of her."
"I would stammer a lot and I'd forget my lines," he continued, "I feel like I'd maintain my composure a bit more effectively now, but it was quite difficult when I was a kid."
He wasn't so secretive about his admiration for Jennifer either.
"I was teased a little bit by the crew, because they saw it," he shared. "I would just forget, and be looking at her. But then, the whole world had a crush on Jennifer Aniston."

Since those days, Cole has found love with girlfriend Ari Fournier.
Meanwhile, Jennifer has been living her best life. "I feel the best in who I am today," she told Allure last November, "better than I ever did in my 20s or 30s even, or my mid-40s."
