Before Julie Bowen was the uncool aunt on Modern Family, she was the cool aunt on Dawson’s Creek. She looks the same now as she did when she was 30 in that 2000 episode.
Sofia Vergara played the stepmother of Julie Bowen and Jesse Tyler Ferguson on Modern Family, and she took that role seriously. So much so that almost six years later, she still loves hanging out with her stepchildren.
They look to be just as close as they appeared on the sitcom. And I love that!
So here is a fun fact. Did you know that Bowen is two years older than Vergara, and the latter is three years older than Ferguson? The more you know!
Modern Family might have ended in 2020, but the cast’s friendship has not.
Jesse Tyler Ferguson met up with his television niece and nephew, Ariel Winter and Nolan Gould, for lunch. Just like a real uncle would!
They look just like a real family. And that is why we loved the family show so much. The viewers can tell when the cast fakes the chemistry for the camera. And that is something they didn’t do on the sitcom, which is why we could not stop watching.
Before Eric Stonestreet was dressing up as a clown for Modern Family, he was putting on makeup for Northwestern University. He was just as much of a character when he was 26 in 1997 as he is now.
Here is what he wrote about that video: “My first on camera job ever was a series of topless and painted Northwestern University football commercials. A year later, in 1997 they were turned into a topless and painted NCAA college football national campaign. There were 12 of these and we shot them at Purdue University. They no doubt got me started on the path that lead me to the topless (and other) success I would eventually find. Points to ANYONE who remembers these (other than my family and friends) #joefootball #ncaafootball #ncaa #topless”
Before Eric Stonestreet was dressing up as a clown on Modern Family, he went to extremes to dress as Spock on ER. He looks the same now as he did when he was 21 in that 2000 episode.
Here is what the actor said about that guest appearance: “ER was the first show I got to be on that when I walked onto the stage, as a fan, I felt like I knew where everything was. My scene was the final part of a very long continuous shot that ER was famous for. If you’re an actor, you know what the stress of that is. Maura Tierney and @mingna_wen were my wonderful scene partners and the great @pkcbarclay was the director who made me feel comfortable and confident enough to get my lines out and deliver a decent performance.”
