Daisy Ridley has fought Sith Lords, wielded a lightsaber, and led a galaxy to victory—but one battle she never expected? Being compared to Riverdale star Cole Sprouse. During an interview with The Movie Dweeb, Ridley was asked about Sprouse’s Instagram post, where he humorously compared his looks to hers. Her response? A mix of playful denial and top-tier British wit.
“I mean, I’d like to believe I don’t look like a man,” Ridley laughed, before doubling down on the joke. When I jokingly asked if I’d just walked in and essentially said, “Hi, you look like a man,” Ridley cracked up. She then took it a step further, joking, “It’s like, remember you’re playing that amazing woman—you got it because you look like a man.”
Daisy Ridley on Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker
At the time of the interview, Ridley was promoting Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, the grand finale to the Skywalker saga. As Rey, she had gone from scavenger to Jedi, discovering her lineage, mastering the Force, and facing off against Emperor Palpatine (because apparently, he’s always lurking somewhere).
The film was packed with high-stakes battles, emotional reunions, and the kind of lightsaber duels that make you want to swing a broomstick around your living room. While The Rise of Skywalker had a divisive reception among fans, one thing was universally agreed upon—Ridley’s performance was stellar, bringing heart, determination, and just the right amount of sass to Rey’s final chapter.
Cole Sprouse and The Suite Life of Zack & Cody
So, why did Cole Sprouse even compare himself to Daisy Ridley in the first place? Well, aside from sharing some similar facial features (big teeth, big brows, big foreheads, according to Ridley herself), Sprouse has always leaned into self-deprecating humor online. The former Disney Channel star shot to fame as one-half of The Suite Life of Zack & Codyalongside his twin brother Dylan, playing troublemaking rich-kid hotel dwellers.
Since then, Sprouse has built a career beyond his Disney roots, starring as Jughead Jones in Riverdale and occasionally breaking the internet with his absurdly dramatic Instagram captions. But whether or not he actually looks like Daisy Ridley? That’s a debate for the ages.
What do you think—are Daisy and Cole long-lost siblings, or is this just another case of the internet being the internet? Let us know in the comments!
