Julie Bowen Tells 'Ellen' She Wants To Skip 'Modern Family's Final Cry Fest!

Julie Bowen makes an appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, airing Wednesday (February 5), to dish all about the eleventh and final season of her long-running hit series Modern Family.

The 49-year-old actress explains to Ellen why she doesn’t want to stick around for the “crying fest” that will inevitably happen when they wrap the final season of Modern Family.

“I’ve already done a fair amount of crying, but it comes out of the blue. Whenever somebody wants me to cry about it, I can’t,” Bowen tells Ellen.

“I’ve definitely done the walking around and saying to people, ‘I love you, working together has been amazing, but come that last day I’m out of here. I’m going to be gone. I’m not hanging out for the crying fest’,” Julie continues. “Because I imagine it’s going to be like a big amoeba of weeping, just sort of people hugging and crying. I can’t do it. I am not that kind of a human. I need to cry alone.”

Plus, Julie chats about going on a safari in Africa with her three sons, and having to hold back the urge to reach out and touch the wild animals.
