What Nolan Gould Says He Stole From The Modern Family Set
David Mccullough "Modern Family" devotees may recall that over the 11 years spent in the Dunphy's kitchen, there was consistently a bowl of fake fruit in their kitchen (via AOL). Gould, whose kitchen is apparently "filled with" props from the "Modern Family" set, decided he needed this prop as well. "It was just...it was one of those things that's so oddly iconic," Gould shared.
Over the 10 years that the show was on the air, the bowl of fake fruit was never explained and its contents never changed. "It just clearly got thrown there in the pilot because we were like, 'We need some, some fruit or some color splash in it,'" Gould explained. "And then, nobody took it out. And it just kind of stayed for 11 years, unexplained why they have this tacky fake fruit bowl. And Julie Bowen [Gould's on-screen mom] said in an interview that she never wanted to see it again. And it just so happens that it's sitting in my kitchen."
While "Modern Family" might be over, Gould remains committed to keeping up his relationship with Bowen. "I think I'm planning on leaving little pieces of fake fruit on her doorstep," he said, as Bowen lives only five minutes away from him — as do Ariel Winter and Sarah Hyland. So even though the show might be over, it doesn't seem like anyone is getting the youngest Dunphy out of their hair (via Elite Daily).
