This, we love. Modern Family boss Steve Levitan confirms to us that Britney Spears has indeed asked to come on the hit ABC comedy, but that’s not all: The likes of George Clooney and Brad Pitt could also be on board!
Levitan hints that some other “big stars” have asked to guest star, and the names may surprise you…
“Quite a few really impressive people have come to us,” Levitan hinted to me at last night’s Paley Festival honoring the series. When asked if one of them might be George Clooney, Julia Roberts or Brad Pitt, Levitan’s eyes lit up all crazy and he couldn’t stop himself from uttering: “You’ve gotten...you’ve hit on a couple!”
Zing! So wait a minute, is Modern Family really turning down stars like Brad Pitt, Julia Roberts, Britney Spears and George Clooney?!
“We just want to wait until it’s the exact right role for the right person,” Levitan explains.“[They are] not turned down, we’re just waiting for it to be right.”
He also specifically says of Britney that her camp called up to ask right at the end of the season, so it was too late for this year. As for next season, “Who knows? If the right thing comes along. If we use someone like Britney Spears who is just such a presence, we need to make sure that it’s OK for us and works within our show. That there’s some fresh take on using her in the show.”
Levitan adds: “It’s very flattering that any big stars want to come on our show.”
除了布兰妮，乔治克鲁尼，布拉德皮特，茱莉亚罗伯茨等都希望加盟。
布兰妮的团队打电话给我，问我是否能在这一季的结尾加上布兰妮。但是这确实是太晚了。至于是否能出现在下一季，那谁知道呢？如果我们使用了布兰妮这样这样的明星，哪怕是只露一下面，我们都要确保这是否是剧情所需要的，是否最符合该剧。使用布兰妮，那肯定会使这部剧充满新鲜感。
