Cole Sprouse - Riverdale's Hottest Star

By Alexis Rothenberg, CBS 62/CW50 Intern

CW50's Riverdale has become the latest obsession of 2017.  And former Disney Channel star Cole Sprouse is all grown up in Riverdale and has left the Suite Life.

Puberty has done Cole justice as he plays Forsythe "Jughead" Jones III. He has left his former nerdy character behind and with only one Sprouse brother in this series, he no longer has to live in his brother's shadow. "Jughead" is one of the main characters in Riverdale as well as the narrator for the series.

Cole's character isn't anything like his Suite Life self and has become a heartthrob icon in Riverdale. Cole has been in high demand with photo spreads popping up almost daily, included features in VOGUE, The Last Magazine, and Rogue Magazine.
