Sarah Hyland Was Told She Was "Too Old" To Audition For Haley On "Modern Family"

Whether you grew up watching Sarah Hyland as Haley Dunphy on Modern Family or you're watching her (almost) every night as the host of Love Island USA, there's no doubt that the 32-year-old is a mainstay of modern (pun intended) television.

THEN: What’s one thing that went into making Modern Family that fans probably wouldn’t know about or expect?

NOW: What’s one thing that goes into making Love Island that fans probably wouldn’t know about or expect?

THEN: What was the casting process like for Modern Family?

NOW: What’s the most challenging thing about filming Love Island?

THEN: What was your favorite day on the Modern Family set?

NOW: What was your favorite day on the Love Island set?
