Nearly two decades after making his Disney Channel debut on The Suite Life Of Zack & Cody, Cole Sprouse is opening up about how child stardom affected him and his identical twin brother, Dylan.

In a New York Times interview published last week, the actor reflected on his decision to briefly quit Hollywood and study archaeology before returning to the small screen in Riverdale. On the hit CW series based on the Archie comics, Sprouse plays sulky hipster Jughead Jones.
