Ever wonder what happens when twin telepathy goes completely off the rails?
Cole Sprouse just served the internet a masterclass in sibling shade after Dylan Sprouse casually referred to them as “the children of incest” during a podcast appearance. The 34-year-old Riverdale star didn’t clutch pearls — he clapped back with receipts. Sharing a screenshot of the ensuing media frenzy to his Instagram Story Tuesday morning, Cole deadpanned: “No media training on earth can prep you to read this clickbait headline at 10am.” The screenshot showed entertainment outlets breathlessly covering Dylan’s quote like it was breaking news rather than two brothers who’ve been roasting each other since the womb.
The chaos started when Dylan appeared on the “Call Her Daddy” podcast and dropped the incest bomb while discussing their unusual childhood. “We’re the children of incest,” he told Alex Cooper, referring to their parents’ close family ties. The internet, naturally, lost its collective mind. Headlines screamed. Twitter melted. But Cole? Cole just laughed. Because when you’ve spent three decades sharing a face, a career, and presumably a wardrobe, “children of incest” barely registers on the weirdness scale.
Fans are living for the unbothered energy. “Cole reading that headline with his morning coffee is a MOOD,” tweeted one user. Another added: “The Sprouse twins have the healthiest toxic relationship in Hollywood.” Dylan hasn’t publicly responded to his brother’s shade yet, but knowing these two? He’s probably already drafting a PowerPoint presentation titled “Why I’m Technically Right.”
What do you think? A) Peak sibling goals — they’re hilarious B) Too far, even for jokes
