Modern Family star Jeremy Maguire is unrecognizable as a teen after first appearing on the sitcom aged four

Modern Family alum Jeremy Maguire is all grown up after bidding farewell to the beloved show five years ago. The 13-year-old actor was just four years old when he shot to fame playing Joe Pritchett on the hit ABC sitcom. But he's now a teenager – and a far cry from the youngster he once was on the television series. Jeremy looked totally transformed as he reunited with on-screen brother Rico Rodriguez at the world premiere of Wizards Beyond Waverly Place at the El Capitan Theatre in Hollywood in October.

Dressed in a dark blue shirt, black jeans and box fresh white sneakers, Jeremy looked effortlessly cool as he stood for photographs. He also posed for photos with his former costar Rico, 26, who was dressed in a strikingly similar fashion. Following the event, Jeremy uploaded snaps of them together to his Instagram profile, much to the delight of his 265,000 followers. Captioning the post, he said: 'Bros reunited. Might as well be twins.'.

Modern Family alum Jeremy Maguire is all grown up (pictured with on-screen dad Ed O'Neill). The actor, who made his debut on the ABC sitcom aged four, is now 13 years old. Fans went wild for the pictures at the time, with one writing: 'TV brothers from Modern Family reunited!!'. 'God, I'm getting old,' another penned, while a third added: 'Where did all the time go?'. A fourth commented: 'The brothers are back together!'.

Jeremy played the youngest son of Gloria (Sofia Vergara) and Jay (Ed O'Neil) on Modern Family from 2015 to 2020. Born in 2011, he was just four years old when he joined the cast of the ABC sitcom. Following his turn in Modern Family, Jeremy starred in the action-comedy series Turner & Hooch alongside Josh Peck and Carra Patterson. He also appeared in the action crime drama, S.W.A.T. alongside Shemar Moore and Alex Russell.

In an interview with E! News, Jeremy described himself as an 'old soul.'. The young actor attended the world premiere of Wizards Beyond Waverly Place at the El Capitan Theatre in Hollywood in October. He reunited with his on-screen brother Rico Rodriguez, who played Manny Delgato. 'I've been told I'm a 30-year-old in a kid's body,' he told the publication. 'I've been told I'm an old soul. Which, I do think that of myself, too.'.

He added of Modern Family ending: 'When you're growing up and there's a camera in front of your face, sometimes you don't wrap your head around the fact that these aren't your actual family. 'And that's just really hard, especially for me because, you know, I love everybody. 'After Modern ended, I was so sad 'cause only life I've ever known.'. In September, Modern Family alum Eric Stonestreet admitted he felt hurt when his spinoff was scrapped by the network.

The actor, 53, admitted on the In Depth With Graham Bensinger podcast that he and on-screen partner Jesse Tyler Ferguson were initially going to have their own show. Rico and Jeremy played the children of Sofia Vergara's Gloria Delgado-Pritchett and Ed O'Neill's Jay Pritchett. '[Modern Family co-creator] 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," he explained.

'They just said, "We don’t want to do it,"' he added. The Emmy winner also revealed that he though the network threw out the project because they saw him and Ferguson as 'old guys.'. The Kansas native said: 'I think Jesse and I maybe felt like they thought of us as the old guys, or something like that, that didn’t seem worthy of keeping those characters going.'. And although he felt let down, he understood the decision was not in his hands.
