Dylan and Cole Sprouse are keen to continue working together - but they struggle to find suitable roles.

The 31-year-old actors have already enjoyed significant success while working together, but Cole feels it's difficult to find quality parts that are suitable for real-life twins.

During an appearance on 'Live With Kelly and Mark', Dylan shared: "It's usually pretty hokey. I remember Cole distinctly being kind of bitter about Tom Hardy being a twin [in 2015's 'Legend']. He doesn't like when people play two different real people.

"I looked at him, and I was like, 'Cole, I don't think they were looking for guys like us to play that role, anyway, if they're hiring Tom Hardy.'"

Dylan also joked about the roles that he'd like to cast his twin in.

He said: "I thought it would be pretty funny to start casting him in roles where he gets killed in the movie a lot, the kind of 'South Park' Kenny.

"I thought that would be funny, where he's on screen for five minutes and then explodes."

The twins previously starred together on 'The Suite Life of Zack and Cody', and Dylan has confessed that their off-camera relationship was tense at times.

The actor - who starred on the Disney show between 2005 and 2008 - told E! News: "We had a vicious fist fight one time. This is puberty. Brothers fight. We were like, scrapping in the back, we were taking it through the hallways, like wrestling and fighting."

Dylan admitted that their fight featured some "WWE moves".

He recalled: "We got a knock on the dressing room door, and the door opens and it's a fan. She was like, 'Hey, would you mind if I took a picture with you?'

"And Cole goes, 'Do you want to come back in five minutes?' And she's like, 'Yeah, sure'. She shuts the door and we both busted out laughing so hard, we didn't even know why we were fighting. But that's brothers for you."
