Sofia Vergara wasn’t too impressed by Adam DeVine’s improv on Modern Family.
In a recent interview with People Magazine, the Pitch Perfect alum recalled when he first joined the cast in season 5, the creators encouraged him to improvise to keep things fresh. But his attempt to go off-script with Sofia Vergara didn’t quite go as planned.
"It was the first scene, I go in and I improv a little something with Sofia Vergara,” DeVine, 40, recalled. “I remember she just had a blank [expression] and looked over to the producer village where all the producers sit and she just goes, ‘What?’ She was so confused by what the hell I was doing because it wasn’t part of the script.”
After that, he was kindly asked to stick to the script.
"Steve Levitan, one of the creators, came over and said, ‘Remember when we said you could improv? Let’s not do that anymore,’" he added with a grin.
Despite the mishap, DeVine cherished his time on the show, especially his close friendship with co-star Sarah Hyland, who played his on-screen love interest.
“She’s a good friend,” DeVine shared, noting they frequently stay in touch. “I’ll throw a party every fourth of July, and she comes to those, and we go to each other’s birthday parties when we’re in town,” he revealed.
The actor also worked with Hyland on Pitch Perfect: Bumper in Berlin and affectionately referred to her as his “work wife,” alongside Rebel Wilson.
