“I feel like I had such a loud mouth when we were filming Modern Family. What else can I say?” Hyland admitted. “What people don’t know is when Haley was pregnant, they made a fake prosthetic belly for when we did an ultrasound scene. I had to go into a place and they took pictures of my stomach. Every woman’s dream, right? Pictures of your stomach for skin tone — and I have some freckles on my stomach, and on the prosthetic, they had them where they would be if this skin was stretched out.”

She continued, “It was so creepy and crazy. I was like, ‘Do I get to keep this?’ And they’re like, ‘No.’ Who just has a prosthetic of my pregnant stomach somewhere? Where does that go? It’s so weird. I also wore a onesie for when you don’t see the actual skin of the belly. I got so into character that I gained like 20 pounds on set — because in my head, I go, ‘Crap, I’m eating for three. I have twins!’ And then I’d go back to my trailer and take it off and be like, ‘Oh no, what did I do?’ every single day on repeat.”
