12. Years before starring together on Riverdale, Mendes and Sprouse attended NYU at the same time, though he didn’t remember they were classmates.
“Cole always laughs when I tell him that because I remember meeting him on certain occasions and he doesn’t,” Mendes told Office magazine in 2017. “I’m always like, ‘Fine! Whatever! Sorry I’m not a child star!'”
She went on to jokingly call him “a weirdo” during their college years, explaining, “He had really long hair down to his butt cheeks. He was really shy too. I would see him at parties sometimes and I always kind of randomly talked to his brother [Dylan] but I never got a chance to talk to him because he was more to himself.”
