Ed O’Neil, who stars in Modern Family and Finding Dory, was on Ellen today and explains how is random photo with Britney Spears came to be. In the video above, the 70-year-old actor explains that about a year ago, ”

“I was flying alone to Hawaii. I was waiting for my flight to board…She came up and said, ‘Oh, Mr. O’Neill, I love Modern Family, and you’re my favorite on the show. Could you please, and I know you’re in a hurry…’ couldn’t have been nicer. So I said, ‘Sure, fine, you know, OK.’ So she sat there and we took it and I said, ‘Have a nice trip, I’m going,’ and I left. So the next day my manager texts me and goes, ‘What is this? 53,000 likes. It’s Britney Spears.'”

 

 

Look out for Ed O’Neil’s new single, ‘Oops, I took a Photo with Britney Spears.’ in stores soon.
