'Modern Family' star Eric Stonestreet calls people in Hollywood ‘not authentic’

"Modern Family" star Eric Stonestreet confessed that Hollywood life isn’t all it’s cut out to be. 

After working on the popular sitcom for 11 seasons, Stonestreet left Los Angeles to head back to his home in Kansas City. 

The actor reflected on how different people are in the Midwest compared to Hollywood.

"What I realized it does is it highlights everything great about our business, the entertainment business," Stonestreet shared on "In Depth with Graham Bensinger."

"And it highlights all the douchebaggery of our business. It amplifies it. Because I’m here, I’m dealing with people from here… I’m going into the store and having all these authentic, real moments."

He continued, "Then I go to Hollywood… and you’re reminded of some of the types of people that you deal with."

While the Kansas City native moved to Los Angeles to jump start his acting career, he added there were some perks to living in Hollywood.

"But then you’re also offered fruit on a big board," he emphasized. "‘Would you like some lychee and kiwi, sir?’ It’s like, oh, yeah, this is what’s great about Hollywood … So, it’s really fun. It just amplifies it. It’s like, leaving [Kansas City] and going back and doing something is almost more fun than it was living there, doing it."

Stonestreet portrayed Cameron Tucker on "Modern Family" from 2009 until 2020, when the American sitcom aired.

He starred alongside co-stars Ed O'Neill, Sofia Vergara, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Julie Bowen, Sarah Hyland, Ty Burrell and more.

When asked if he thinks the ship "sailed in terms of a ‘Modern Family’ spin-off," Stonestreet replied, "I don’t think it’s potential anymore."

 "Well, they had their chance. Chris Lloyd and a couple of the writers wrote a really great script that spun Jesse and I off in our life in Missouri, and they said, ‘No.’ They just said, ‘We don’t want to do it.’"

The "Santa Clauses" star went on to explain his sentiments towards the spin-off rejection.

"I think it hurt Jesse and I’s feelings," the actor admitted. "I think it hurt Chris Lloyd’s feelings."

Stonestreet won two Emmy Awards for his performance in "Modern Family."

After second assassination attempt, Trump worries about family’s safety: ‘I don’t talk about it, but I do’

Fox News host Brian Kilmeade’s brand-new interview with former President Donald Trump will be appearing exclusively on "One Nation," Saturday night. In the interview, Trump candidly responded to whether he worries about the safety of his family: "I don’t talk about it, but I do. I have to worry about family. I have to worry about everybody." 

The "Fox & Friends" co-host got a chance to speak to the 45th president during the final stretch of his presidential campaign, where they talked about his running mate Sen. JD Vance’s, R-Ohio, upcoming vice-presidential debate with Gov. Tim Walz, D-Minn., the second assassination attempt against him, and the dangers of another four years under Vice President Kamala Harris’ leadership.

"Look, we’re under siege and no country has ever suffered like we have for the last three-and-a-half, almost four years," Trump told Kilmeade, mentioning the threats posed by record high illegal immigration allowed under the Biden/Harris administration which he believes will continue if the vice president wins the White House.

"When they allow millions of people to come into our country, from prisons, right? From prisons. And terrorists, and people from mental institutions, and they take over our parks. Look at New York – you can’t play Little League baseball anymore," the former President said, adding that illegal immigrants are being treated better than U.S. veterans in New York City.

Kilmeade asked Trump if he worries about his family in light of the two recent attempts on his life.

"I do. I do," the former president replied. "I don’t talk about it, but I do. I have to worry about family. I have to worry about everybody." Turning to his host, he added, "I worry about you."

Elsewhere, Kilmeade asked Trump whether he believes Vance will "get a fair shot" in his debate with Walz, which will be hosted by CBS News and moderated by network anchors Margaret Brennan and Norah O'Donnell on Oct. 1.

"He won’t get a fair shot," Trump replied. "But he will handle it very good."

The former president continued, "I think he’s done great. People are really liking him. He’s tough, smart, he loves our country. He’s going to have no trouble."
