Modern Family’s Lily Actress Is ‘Grateful’ For The Experience, But Gets Honest About Why She Might Not Recommend Child Acting Years Later

by

As a gamer who grew up binge-watching Modern Family, I can’t help but feel a sense of nostalgia and admiration for Aubrey Anderson-Emmons, the talented young actress who brought Lily Tucker-Pritchett to life. Having watched her grow from a precocious 4-year-old to a sassy teenager over the course of the show’s 11 seasons, I can’t help but be impressed by the maturity she exhibits in her post-Modern Family life.

Modern Family remains one of the best sitcoms of all time and, thanks to streaming, people can continue to revisit it. It’s one of the rare series that ran for over 10 seasons, as it ended with 11 seasons and 250 episodes. The show featured a wonderful ensemble cast that included Aubrey Anderson-Emmons, who played Lily Tucker-Pritchett. Today, the actress is “grateful” for her experience on the Emmy-winning show, but she may not recommend child acting to everyone.

Aubrey Anderson-Emmons joined the cast of the show as Lily Tucker-Pritchett when she was only four years old during Season 3, and continued in the role throughout the series. Her character quickly became popular among fans due to her wit and sharp humor, even at a young age. The actress also received positive reviews for her performance.

Previously famous young actress and her mom recently discussed their thoughts about entering showbiz on Trisha Paytas’ “Just Trish” podcast. Trisha, a popular influencer, shared her idea of having her children venture into acting since she herself wasn’t given the opportunity when she was younger. The seasoned Modern Family star didn’t entirely discourage Trisha from pursuing this path for her kids, but she did express her reasons for waiting until they are older: a wiser and more mature decision.

“I believe it’s best for them to decide on their actions first. Modern Family has been such a source of blessing in my life, and I remain eternally grateful. However, I worry that this lifestyle might not provide a typical upbringing for children, and I’m unsure if this is the right approach. Additionally, I sense that I experienced more distress as I grew older due to the influence of the show.

Your thoughts seem sensible. It’s widely known that show business is challenging, but starting out in it while still too young to fully govern your own decisions must be incredibly difficult. I find it hard to fathom the level of pressure and lack of control that comes with such a situation.

Aubrey Anderson-Emmons continues to cherish her old show and occasionally socializes with her TV co-stars from Modern Family. However, the 17-year-old actress is open about discussing the challenges she faced following the show, and it seems that those years weren’t simple.

At the time the series concluded, I was approximately 12 years of age. To be honest, I found myself at a crossroads because I hadn’t yet fully grasped my post-show aspirations. I believe it’s crucial to discover your interests and experiences independently, rather than having them dictated by others. In my case, I wouldn’t have wanted my mother to make those decisions for me, as I expressed my desire to participate in the show myself. However, considering that I was only 4 years old at the beginning of the eight-year commitment, it’s challenging to decide what one wants to do for such an extended period so young.

She spent a significant part of her childhood starring in the cherished ABC show and was nearing adolescence when the series concluded. For some time, acting was her entire world, making it challenging for her to adapt after the show finished. It’s not hard to see why she advises others to delay child acting until they are old enough to make an informed decision about their career choice.

After the series ended, Anderson-Emmons appears to be eagerly embracing a typical high school experience, such as attending prom and enjoying the company of friends who share memories from the show. Fans have expressed their affection by referencing her character and TV parents, Cam and Mitch. Since 2020, she has only acted in one project aside from Tailwinds this year. It seems that she is currently focusing on making personal decisions about what she truly wants for her future.

It’s truly remarkable to witness Aubrey Anderson-Emmon’s maturity and balance at this stage in her life. Although she has moved past Modern Family, you can relive her performances by subscribing to Hulu or Peacock.
