Julie Bowen’s pregnancy

Before landing the role of Claire Dunphy, Julie Bowen came incredibly close to quitting acting altogether.

When she was auditioning for ‘Modern Family’, the actress was pregnant with twins, and considered dropping out since she believed she wouldn’t get the part.

However, Julie wowed the producers and was cast as Claire, which is why eagle-eyed viewers can spot Julie with a rather noticeable baby bump in the pilot.
