For as long as there has been cinema, the world has had a fascination with stories surrounding twins.
But behind the scenes, the Sprouse twins' lives weren’t as picture-perfect as they appeared on screen.
But as with any business, executives are always looking for loopholes to make scheduling and production more economical.
That’s why in the world of child actors, identical twins are a gold mine.
By the time they turned five, Melanie Wright and Matthew Sprouse had divorced.
Back in the States, the twins lived with their mother in Long Beach, California.
According to Cole, Melanie Wright pushed her sons into acting as a way to make ends meet.
While speaking with Cooper, Cole explained that his father had concerns about placing the boys into acting.
Since their split, Melanie and Matthew appear to have ventured down very different paths.
As for Matthew, he went on to marry esthetician, Chrissy Durette.
Sadly, it seems that Wright is still just as creative yet troubled all these years later.
Wright has documented much of her life over the years via multiple Instagram accounts.

When Dylan and Cole were born, Matthew was working as a physical education teacher in Italy.
Then after the family moved back to the States, he became an automotive repairman.
This explains why many assumed Dylan and Cole may follow the same troubled path.
Instead, the two young mendecided to attend NYUto pursue careers in other, completely non-related fields.
While in school, Cole majored in archaeology, while Dylan majored in video game design.
