Actor Cole Sprouse, typically associated with his Disney Channel show “The Suite Life of Zack and Cody,” has moved on to bigger and better things. While Sprouse played boy genius twin Cody Martin on the show, he has since achieved immense popularity over the Internet with his entertaining Instagram profile and Tumblr blog.

Now majoring in humanities and archaeology at New York University, Sprouse’s Instagram page, entitled “Camera Duels,” has gained massive popularity.

“This Instagram is dedicated to the people out there who secretly take photos of me, and how I take photos of them first. May the fastest camera win,” Sprouse said in the description of his Instagram.

When Sprouse sees someone trying to secretly take a picture of him, he gets out his own camera and snaps a photo of them in the process.

Sprouse’s page already has over 58,000 followers.

Along with his Instagram, Sprouse also has a popular Tumblr page named “Coleture Concept.”

His description of the blog reads, “I’m a young student focusing on Archaeology, Anthropology, Journalism, & Photography. Lets try and find greatness in absence.”

With this blog, Sprouse shows that he is no inflated “superstar,” instead just a kid like any other college student.

On his Tumblr, Sprouse posts everything from philosophical musings to photos he finds amusing. Examples include various selfies of himself, as well as humorous GIFs and memes.

The former child star not only shows his true side, but he also connects with his fans on the blog, thanking them for their reposts and support.

Junior Lauren Lin said, “It's refreshing to see a Disney star who grew up to aspire to be something that's not a celebrity. As someone who used to watch ‘The Suite Life of Zack and Cody,’ it's nice to see that he has turned into an intelligent, deep yet hilarious blogger.”

Aside from school, Tumblr, and Instagram, Sprouse also spends his time on photography, displayed at www.colesprousephotography.com. He also has a Twitter account called @OleKingCole in which he tweets about his everyday life.

All in all, while you may consider yourself “too old” for “The Suite Life,” never fear — you can always check out Cole Sprouse on Twitter, Tumblr or Instagram.
