Having a crush on a co-star can make things difficult sometimes, just like what happened with Cole Sprouse. The actor has confessed to having a huge crush on Jennifer Aniston back when he was only 7. The pair worked alongside each other in the highly popular sitcom Friends. However, at the time, Sprouse had just been a little kid while Aniston was a full-grown adult. According to him, even people around the sets knew about it. Recently, while gearing up for her upcoming movie Murder Mystery 2, her little co-star’s crush on her was discussed a bit in an interview. And it seems that she was surprised by the Riverdale actor’s current age as he entered his 30s last year.
