Sofía Vergara Open to Reprising Role as Gloria Delgado-Pritchett

Sofía Vergara has expressed enthusiasm about the possibility of returning to her iconic role as Gloria Delgado-Pritchett from the hit series "Modern Family." In a recent interview with Variety, Vergara revealed her eagerness to reunite with the cast, stating, "I’d die to be on that set." The actress humorously noted her concern for co-star Ed O'Neill, who is 78, jokingly urging him not to pass away. Their playful banter continues, with Vergara recalling a recent interaction where she complimented O'Neill's appearance in the FX miniseries "Clipped." The chemistry between Vergara and O'Neill, who portrayed a husband-and-wife duo with a significant age gap, was a hallmark of "Modern Family." The couple navigated the complexities of blending their families, which included O'Neill's older children and Vergara's young son. Four years after the show's conclusion, the cast reunited for a gathering at Vergara's home in November 2023, reinforcing their enduring connection. "It's amazing, because we're always connected," she remarked. While Vergara believes it may be too early for a full reboot of the beloved series, some former cast members have already reprised their roles for a series of commercials promoting the messaging app WhatsApp. Eric Stonestreet shared behind-the-scenes photos on Instagram, celebrating the reunion of the cast, which included Ty Burrell, Julie Bowen, and Jesse Tyler Ferguson, and highlighting the fun of getting "the band back together."
