‘Five Feet Apart’: Cole Sprouse’s First Movie in 19 Years

Cole Sprouse is starring in his first film since Big Daddy which premiered 19 years ago.

“When life keeps you apart, fight for every inch”

Five Feet Apart is about two cystic fibrosis patients, Will (Cole Sprouse) and Stella (Haley Lu Richardson). The hospital dictates that they must stay five feet apart at all times. As their connection grows stronger, so does their willingness to defy the rules.

The script is by Mikki Daughtry and Tobias Iaconis with Jane the Virgin’s Justin Baldoni as the director. Claire Forlani, Moises Arias, and Parminder Nagra are also starring in the film.

“There are some roles that carry a real responsibility for accurate representation, this was one of them,” Sprouse recently told Teen Vogue about the project. “Some say the currency of poetry is the acceptance of other poets, and I desire no audience more greatly than those who resonate with the challenges shown by the characters of this film. It’s my hope that we did them justice. This was all for you guys.”

Five Feet Apart will hit theaters and break our hearts March 22, 2019.
