Transcript

00:00If I could choose one person to guest star in Modern Family, I mean, this is so unrelated

00:05because he's not in anything in the entertainment world, but I just met Alex Honnold yesterday

00:11from Free Solo.

00:12I don't know how we'd fit into the storyline.

00:14Maybe Luke and Phil go rock climbing and get stuck somewhere, and Alex Honnold just comes

00:18and saves them.

00:19Hey, I'm Nolan Gould from Modern Family, and I'm here at Hollywood Life.

00:23The first person I met from the Modern Family cast, I think it was my TV parents, Julie

00:27Bowen and Ty Burrell, I remember meeting them at the table read, it was our first ever

00:33table read, the first time the cast all got together, and I remember being super nervous

00:37because I was 10 years old and I was surrounded by all these veteran actors.

00:40I remember calling them Mr. Burrell and Mrs. Bowen, and they were immediately like, that's

00:45not going to happen.

00:46Like, it's Ty and Julie, you know, we're peers, we're all in this together, we're castmates

00:51and coworkers.

00:53Bonding with my on-screen siblings has been awesome, I mean, we've really grown up together

00:59for like the past 10, going on 11 years now.

01:02I never went to real school, and you know, I had friends, but for the most part like my,

01:08you know, my life from a young age was focused on work, so it was really cool to have, like,

01:13you know, people that became like family that I got to grow up with and, you know, experience

01:16the same things.

01:17Like, we're going to be bonded for life, we're all, you know, we're going to be best friends

01:21after the show.

01:22I definitely keep in touch with Arielle the most.

01:25We moved like into the same neighborhood and stuff, and she's like three minutes away from

01:29me, so it's like when I go home from work, I just like see Arielle out of like walks and

01:35stuff.

01:36All of our cast members are, I mean, just hilarious.

01:39It's impossible to like keep a straight face while we're filming.

01:42I would have to say the funniest is my TV dad, Ty Burrell.

01:46If you go back and like look through the episodes, sometimes you'll see me like kind of like

01:49looking at Ty, but like not making eye contact, and it's because I know if I look at him while

01:53he's being funny, I'm going to break.

01:55I would definitely say that Ed O'Neill is most like his character out of anyone on the

02:00show.

02:01I mean, he has been getting paid for the last 10 years to play himself, which is just like

02:06every actor's dream.

02:07He is Jay.

02:08He's like everybody's, everybody's grandpa.

02:12When I learned that season 11 was going to be the final season, it was a bittersweet

02:16moment because we actually were expecting season 10 to be our series finale, and our season

02:2210 finale was supposed to be our show's ending because it's really, it is written like that.

02:26It comes full circle where, you know, the Lion King moment happens that they walk out holding

02:32the babies up.

02:33That's how our show was supposed to end, and then they, you know, suddenly add another season.

02:37We weren't expecting that at all, and we were really blown away.

02:41So it's sad to know like, okay, that is the definitive end, but I'm super happy to, you

02:45know, get one more season to spend with the people I love.

02:47If we ever do like a spinoff show where it's like 10 years later, maybe we're going to

02:52do like a flash forward to end our show, we might, we might see like Luke has moved into

02:57the basement.

02:58Or like, I don't know, Luke is working as like a refrigerator, like repairman or something

03:02like that.

03:03I hope that he does better.

03:04But it's kind of hard to think about doing a revival for Modern Family when our show hasn't

03:09ended yet.

03:10But you know, it's really possible we're seeing so many shows get rebooted and stuff.

03:14I would definitely think about being part of it.

03:17My hopes for Luke, um, for the final season.

03:20I don't know.

03:21I would like to, I'd like to see Luke, uh, kind of, kind of hold it down and maybe become

03:28like a better person.

03:29He's been, uh, he's been a little trashy ever since he became a teenage boy.

03:35And, uh, like, I don't know.

03:37I would, I would like to see him, uh, maybe grow up, leave that stuff high and get like

03:40a real job, maybe, uh, hold down a relationship, uh, not be such a creep.
