From the look of it, Cole Sprouse has also joined in on the coronavirus quarantine beard trend. That’s right, the Riverdale star took to Instagram on Thursday, May 7 and posted a photo showing off a brand new look, and he looked completely unrecognizable in it. According to the comments section, everyone was shook by the snap, even his famous friends!
“How to polarize a young fanbase,” the 27-year-old joked in the photo’s caption, which showed the actor sporting a dark mustache and beard.
Upon seeing the photo, naturally, fan comments started rolling in. But they weren’t the only ones who had something to say!
“Wow when did [you] grow up?” former Suite Life Of Zack And Cody costar Ashley Tisdale wondered. Madelaine Petsch added, “A memoir.”
Actress Shannon Purser announced, “Here come the think-pieces,” while Cameron Monaghan assured Cole that he’s, “Gonna nail that audition to become the Fourth Musketeer.”
