Modern Family is about to demonstrate that Claire Dunphy has always had excellent taste in men. EW has learned exclusively that Matt Dillon will play the ex-boyfriend of Julie Bowen's character in an upcoming episode of the ABC comedy.
Running into her old flame will be more than a little uncomfortable for Claire since he is also her mother's (the returning Shelley Long) current flame. Awkward. Also–potentially hilarious.
This is a rare television appearance for Dillon, who rose to fame as a teen star in movies like Tex and The Outsiders. As an adult, he has starred in such films as There’s Something about Mary, Crash, and Old Dogs.
