'Modern Family' gets ready to say goodbye
Top Talkers: ABC's award-winning comedy announcing its 11th and final season.
Actor Nolan Gould is a far cry away from the dense yet lovable Luke Dunphy, whom he played for 11 seasons on the hit sitcom "Modern Family."
Only 10 years old when the show premiered, Gould, now 24, has a ripped physique, which he shared on social media for his followers.
Gould posted a photo of himself shirtless, appearing to dab off sweat from his chest as he posed for a scenic shot in the mountains of Colorado.

"Four Pass Loop - Maroon Bells, Colorado. 26 miles, more oatmeal packets than can be counted. Aliens were definitely seen," the actor captioned his post on Instagram.

Gould previously shared that he used the COVID-19 pandemic as an opportunity to change his look.
"I spent six months basically on vacation," Gould told People magazine in 2021. "But I feel like now it's time to kind of make a decision on where I want to go with my career, and one of the ways you can do that is by changing my look and my mindset."
"I've been working out an hour and a half everyday with my friend Michael who is a personal trainer. We have a really cool socially-distant setup that has allowed me to get fit while also being safe. It's been nice. Especially being unemployed in quarantine, having a reason to get up and stay motivated. It's been something that's been very healthy and positive for me in quarantine. It's really changed my outlook," he shared.

"I kind of split stuff up throughout the day. I do an hour of strength training every day, and then 30 minutes of cardio and core throughout the day."
Gould attributed much of his physical transformation to diet adjustments, admitting he was eating more protein and vegetables as opposed to pizza like a "teenage boy/bachelor."

"Actually, for me the biggest thing was cutting out alcohol, for me that's actually been very nice. I feel more clear-headed and have been doing as much writing as possible, being in acting class, taking all the steps I can so when the pandemic's finally over, hopefully I'll just be ready to go to work," he said.
According to IMDb, Gould has two upcoming projects in the works.
"Modern Family" wrapped in 2020.
