One of the stars of Modern Family has shared what it was really like on set, explaining that it wasn’t quite what fans might imagine.
Aubrey Anderson-Emmons starred as Lily Tucker-Pritchett from season three of the show, joining the cast when she was just four-years-old.
In a recent TikTok video, Anderson-Emmons shared some behind-the-scenes details of her time on the hit sitcom.

“One of the main questions I get from people who don’t act or like in interviews, people ask me like, ‘oh my god was it really fun growing up? Growing up a set like that, that must be so cool to grow up around all those people’,” she said to her 1.7 million followers on the platform.
“The thing is, that I think people don’t realise, was I was working and if I wasn’t working on the set then I had to do three hours of studio school a day. So I had no time to rest except lunch, like you know what I mean.”
She added that “there are moments that were fun for sure… but you know it is work and I think we do have to keep that in mind.”

And while she said studio school wasn’t all that bad when she was studying alongside co-stars Nolan Gould, Ariel Winter, and Rico Rodriguez, Anderson-Emmons explained that they were all a lot older than her and graduated when she was around 10-years-old.
“I was doing school with nobody but the set teacher,” she said. “Which is nice because you get more one-on-one time but you’re also not having social interactions with other kids.”

But after joining her school’s theatre department decided she does actually enjoy it, adding that she is now “auditioning again.”
