Big Daddy fans 'feel old' after learning shocking fact about Dylan and Cole Sprouse

After receiving $200,000 in compensation from a minor accident, he passes the time watching and playing games.

He works one day a week at a toll booth and relies on his slightly incompetent friend Nazo, played by Rob Schneider, for daily food deliveries.

This revelation sparked a flurry of reactions, with one person tagging the subreddit "F**k I'm old" and another commenting humorously about feeling aged: "Swear I felt my shoulder pop reading this".

Another Reddit user shared their own personal moment of shock: "I'm f***ing older than he [Adam Sandler] was in that movie?!?"
