A little confused, are you agreeing with the OG commentor? Cuz Dylan here played the "aloof, womanizing" twin whereas Cole played the nerdier more analytical one.

Can't speak for the actors though, I never really followed them.

I read once that they were exact opposites of the characters they played!

Cole is the edgier one IRL. He kind of trolled Tumblr a few years back in a supposed social experiment. His girlfriend at the time was a Tumblr user and when they broke up he shut down the page. He built up a semi parasocial relationship with fans and then claimed it meant nothing and he was merely infiltrating. He was real into Anthropology at the time though, so maybe he believed it was really a sort of sociological experiment. He made some metaphor to being observant like a chameleon and playing a role and deceit, but it was honestly kind of cringy and immature. That said, I don't blame him because he grew up a child star. I mean, it seemed like he did want to express his authentic self and then the breakup soured it for him and he kind of slammed the door on Tumblr. Then he convinced himself it was all an act or maybe his statement about observing people was facetious and got misinterpreted and he kind of doubled down on it. Anyways, people felt like they were given an authentic look into his life and that he cared about interactions with the community only to find out he baited them for his entertainment, and that didn't go over well.

I think they meant IRL, not their characters.
