At 6 years old in 1999, the Sprouse twinsspoke to PEOPLEalongside their mother Melanie about the milestones they accomplished during the production of the film — their first movie — which was shot on-location in N.Y.C. (they learned to read and to how to hail a taxi), as well as how well they got along with Sandler.
According to Melanie at the time, Sandler told the proud mom that the twins’ acting was “so good it makes me sick to my stomach,” and that the actor would call the boys often to sing them limericks. After Cole was momentarily knocked out in a fall from a swing, Sandler sent the pair baseball helmets.
“He’s like a kid because he acts like one,” Dylan said at the time.

Known for comedies likeBilly Madison,50 First Datesand his recent Netflix hit,Murder Mystery,Uncut Gemsfinds Sandler in his most serious role yet as a Manhattan jeweler who takes gambling risks bigger than he might be able to handle. In the process, he puts his family, career and own life on the line in a series of bets.
The thriller — which comes from sibling duo Josh and Benny Safdie, who directedRobert Pattinsonin the 2017 pulse-pounderGood Time— premiered to strong reviews at the Telluride Film Festival in August and generated Oscar buzz for Sandler ever since.
“I think that’s nice and sweet and I’m happy that people like the movie,” he told reporters in October of the reception to his performance. “I try not to jump into that thought process just because that really wasn’t the goal. My goal was these guys wrote a great movie and they’re incredible filmmakers and I just wanted to do as good of a job as I could for them.”
