In the world of Friends, where laughter and camaraderie ruled supreme, the character of Ross’s son, Ben, took a backseat as the storyline unfolded. Despite Ross frequently mentioning Ben in the earlier phases, the character gradually faded into the background. The torch was then passed to the Sprouse twins, Dylan and Cole Sprouse, who injected new life into Ben’s character, bringing their own youthful charm to the show.

Interestingly, Cole Sprouse recently spilled the beans on his behind-the-scenes crush on Jennifer Aniston, adding a touch of youthful romance to the iconic sitcom.
