was just 10 years old when he was cast as Luke Dunphy on Modern Family. Now, he is 22 years old, and he is far from that little boy we knew. He is now a grown man with abs to match.
The actor explained why he got so buff. “I owe a huge thanks to my friend @mjkahn425 for constantly pushing me and starting me off on this journey to begin with. Six months ago I started working out with Mike with one simple goal in mind; if Nolan from another dimension, me from the future, or a government created clone of myself ever tried to take me out and live as the de facto Nolan of this universe, I could best them in one on one combat,” He wrote. “This is a stupid goal. It’s an ever-moving target. For every little bit I get stronger, it’s safe to assume their power is also increasing. Plus if they’re extra-dimensional or coming from the future, it’s not outside the realm of possibility that they have four arms or some other enhancements I can’t compete with. So basically, working out is pointless unless it makes you physically healthier and most importantly, emotionally happier. And make sure your friends know how to identify the real you for when the clones come. I lay awake late at night, paralyzed in fear, thinking about the other Nolan. I know he’s training, coming for me. I can picture him now. Leaning up shirtless against a leather couch, smirking. I only hope you’ll be able to spot the differences…”
I guess being afraid of your future self is enough reason to get into shape. Better than for a potential lover who doesn’t love you no matter what.
