For those waking up
this morning to see Courteney Cox and David Beckham in a bath together, we
aren’t in a parallel universe. No, it appears the two will be making
appearances in the final season of Modern Family. On Friday, the
ex-Friends star drove fans wild with a video compilation of the two in a bath.
Posted to Instagram, the caption reads ‘Too hot in the hot
tub #modernfamily’.
Of course,
Courteney Cox is known for her roles in Friends, Cougar Town, Dirt,
and others. Meanwhile, Beckham had a very successful soccer career before
moving into the world of fashion, soccer ownership, and even acting. That’s
right, this won’t be Beckham’s first foray into performing.
Way back in 2005,
while still playing, Beckham appeared in the soccer-themed Goal! The Dream
Begins. In 2007 and 2014, he appeared in TV shorts for Comic Relief in the
UK. However, his acting took a more serious turn in 2015 when he showed up for
a short role in The Man from U.N.C.L.E. Two years later, he got a mixed
reception when playing Trigger in King Arthur: Legend of the Sword alongside
Charlie Hunnam and Jude Law.
With some critics fairly outspoken
in their criticism
of Beckham’s acting in this later role, fans of the show (and fans of the man
himself) will be interested to see whether his acting talents have improved in
recent years.
Final
Season for Modern Family
As well as
gathering excitement in the Modern Family community, it’s also a time of
sadness as the show comes to a close after a long decade. With the eleventh
season to be the last, the faces that have provided us with laughs over the
years will soon disappear from our screens. Though the characters and favorite
scenes will last forever, we’re sure people will call for more content in the
future just as we’ve seen with other household favorites.
Of course, this
isn’t the first time that rumors have been flying around regarding the names
appearing in this final season. So far, it has been confirmed that Elizabeth
Banks, Jordan Peele, and Edward Norton will all have small roles.
Just recently, ABC
Entertainment President, Karey Burke, noted how Steven Levitan and Christopher
Lloyd, the show’s creators, had produced a ‘seminal and iconic’ comedy with Modern
Family. Meanwhile, Ariel Winter has noted that, despite spending
around half of her life on the show, an ending wasn’t what the cast wanted. In
a fantastic interview on Ellen, she also addressed the fact that she
spent one episode in the early days simply stuck in a cage.
Although expressing
disappointment at the end, Winter also noted that ‘everyone is ready to do new
things’. David Beckham…Courteney Cox…final season…is it possible to feel any
more excited? We’re sure the brilliant writers will end the show in a great way,
and we can’t wait to see it!
