Julie Bowen would use her hall pass on Stephen Colbert
In 2012, Julie Bowen admitted she had a huge crush on late-night talk show host Stephen Colbert. The Modern Family star, who was married to real estate investor Scott Phillips at the time, made the revelation during an episode of Anderson Cooper's Anderson Live, per Us Weekly. "Stephen Colbert I love you so much. You're so brilliant, you're so wonderful. If you ever want to have an old, old second wife I am here for you," Bowen gushed.
The actress also revealed The Late Show with Stephen Colbert star is her relationship "hall pass," which is a slang term referring to an "agreement between a couple that they can have sex outside of their relationship, generally on a temporary or one-off basis," as per Dictionary.com. "He's my hall pass and I met him in a hall [backstage at the Emmys]. I was like 'Will someone make a pass?'" Bowen quipped.
A few months later, Bowen also said she would pick Colbert as People's 2012 "Sexiest Man Alive." She told the outlet, without hesitation, "Stephen Colbert! Other than my husband, it's Stephen Colbert. My hall pass. He's just so funny." Bowen's love for Colbert clearly runs deep.
