Cole Sprouse stayed largely under the radar between his childhood role as Cody or Zach (I don’t have the level of interest required to Google it, I’m sorry) and Jughead from Riverdale, so you can be forgiven if, like me, you were also unaware that he has a Twitter game to rival Chrissy Teigen.
The many-year gap between small screen roles has given him time to reflect, gain perspective, and tweet about his child stardom with exactly the right combination of dark humor and poignant sarcasm, and I didn’t even need to search to assemble this list of tweets; I barely had to subject my thumbs to any scrolling.
He tweets throwback childhood photos that will take your sentimentality for Zach/Cody and twist it in the best, most crooked way:

He opens up about his true dedication to his fans:

He addresses the hate that older generations reserve for millennials:
"Millennials," the old man scoffed, throwing his cigarette butt into the community park.

But, also acknowledges that children are terrible:
"This game cheats" the young boy squealed, losing a second time with his pathetic statement.

As are many men:
"BUT WHAT ABOUT MEN-" shhhhhh SHHHHHHHHHHHHHhhhHhhhhhhhhh

And he follows his heart and maintains his dreams.
