Every now and then a celebrity we’d completely forgotten about shimmies out of insignificance and completely shocks us. Cole Sprouse, who famously once played Cody Martin on the Disney channel original show alongside his twin brother in ‘The Suite Life Of Zack And Cody’, is no longer the nerdy bowl cut kid we remember from the mid-noughties.

Instead he seems to be replaced by an attractive imposter who looks the spitting image of a Titanic era Leo DiCaprio, but he’s not just a pretty face. Not only is he really fucking funny on Twitter, especially when making light of embarrassing press shots from his Disney days or posting the dankest of dank memes, but he’s surprisingly also an extremely talented photographer.

As well as dabbling in fashion photography, he’s taken some pretty neat pics of people, animals and landscapes too. Here are a load of selected gorgeous images that we’ve stolen from his photography Instagram to lay before your inquisitive eyes, they’re definitely way better than all of your crap club selfies or the valencia-filtered fish fingers and potato smiley faces you had for dinner last night.

I’m not religious but if you cross me I’ll cross you. Got to shoot with the amazing @alex_hainer yesterday. Check out her photography if you like being impressed. Nothing quite like adventuring with the young and talented.

A single proof of a single moment’s occurrence. What a wonderful thing a photo is. How large a galaxy of discourse can you guess from a single photo’s gravity? How little or how much can you learn about an event? Instagram allows me to caption each photograph independently, and we should feel spoiled about this. If this page was mute, what could you discover about what I’ve been up to? Model: @gianninaoteto Styling: @christelmichelle

Got to explore and shoot with the lovely @ali_collier yesterday. Excited to be posting more, so I’ll be uploading the photos over the next couple days.

As you guys may already know, this most recent Instagram update is a real blow to more undiscovered artists. As many photographers, models, fashion stylists, makeup artists, etc, use Instagram as a business and artistic pursuit, the newly conditioned feeds will greatly affect the less established. Ensure you see content by “turning on post notifications” for users you enjoy.-Lest you want your entire feed to be celebrity selfies and people scrubbing their jowls with coffee in the shower… A photo posted by Cole Sprouse (@colesprouse) on Mar 28, 2016 at 2:49pm PDT

her shadow was staring right at me. @indiesunshine

And even though there was no one there, I felt like I was interrupting a conversation. A photo posted by Cole Sprouse (@colesprouse) on Oct 8, 2015 at 2:26pm PDT

Looks like we’re headed to the same place huh? And then the bus left, but only one man got on.

Kharon on the Hippo highways. Walked and rode with the Abu herd in Botswana’s Okavango Delta. Research the sanctuary to see the work they do, and to hear the rescue stories of the elephants in the herd. #cntvoyages #botswana

Want to be shocked at how other famous brothers have grown up? Take a look at how the “Charlie bit my finger” kids look nowadays.
