As Friends star Cole Sprouse kicks off, a look back at the show's other young ... trends now

We know the show, we know the cast, and those of us with long enough memories know it's been an astonishing 19-years since Friends came to an end. 

Time certainly flies when you're having fun - unless of course you're Cole Sprouse, who recently accused his mother of pushing him into the acting industry at an early age to satisfy her own 'wicked narcissism.' Ouch. 

Friends obsessives will no doubt recognise Sprouse as Ben Geller, the son of bumbling Ross Geller and a recurring character between seasons six and eight of the iconic show.

But while the actor - irrespective of his personal misgivings - went on to establish  a successful career in his own right, what became of the other young stars to feature across its hugely successful 10-year run?

Pull up a La-Z-Boy and make yourself comfortable. MailOnline has the answers.

Alexandria, Cole, Justin and Paul Cimoch (Phoebe's triplets)

In season five of the hit show, Phoebe (played by Lisa Kudrow) served as surrogate for her little brother Frank Jr. and his wife Alice, giving birth to the couple's triplets.

Those triplets were actually played by quadruplets from the Cimoch family, in 2020 Alexandria Cimoch shared photos of her and her siblings on the sitcom.

But it turns out that the the babies were actually played by four children: Alexandria and her three brothers, Cole, Justin, and Paul.

Alexandria, who is a sophomore at University of Wisconsin – La Crosse, recently joined TikTok — and her first video is all about her famous baby status.

'Yes... I was on friends, she captioned the video, which has been viewed over 2.6 million times.

Not only did the video reveal that the triplets were in fact played by quadruplets, but Alexandria joked in the comments section that one of her brothers had to play a baby girl, a fact that they still laugh over to this day. 

However, it wasn't just the clips and photos shared in the video that had viewers going wild, but also Alexandria's resemblance to her on-screen surrogate mom Lisa Kudrow.
