Nolan Gould Is Much Smarter Than His Modern Family Character

Nolan Gould played Luke Dunphy, a character he really didn't have much in common with, for 11 years. On an appearance on the Ellen DeGeneres Show (via HuffPost) in 2012, he told the talk show host that he'd just graduated from high school. He was 13 years old.

Nolan Gould played Luke Dunphy, a character he really didn't have much in common with, for 11 years. On an appearance on the Ellen DeGeneres Show (via HuffPost) in 2012, he told the talk show host that he'd just graduated from high school. He was 13 years old. 

For perspective, at a time when most kids are graduating from eighth grade and grabbling with the awkwardness of those years, Gould was a high school graduate preparing to take college courses, and he was on a hit television show.

Gould is actually a genius with an IQ of 150 and a member of Mensa, a society for people with high IQs, per Bustle. For what it's worth, Gould has a pretty good handle on how good he has it. He told DeGeneres, "As I'm driving in my limo, I'm like, 'Wait a second, I'm 13, this is my third time at the Emmys.' It's like, what am I supposed to do with the rest of my life? It's kind of all downhill from now." He's accomplished more in 22 years than many people do in their whole lives!
