Modern Family's Nolan Gould jokes that he's 'Tragic Mike' after taking first pole-dancing class

Modern Family alum Nolan Gould joked that he was 'Tragic Mike' rather than Channing Tatum's male stripper Magic Mike after taking his first pole-dancing class.

The New York-born 22-year-old showed off his moves in a short routine set to Russ' 2015 song What They Want while under the instruction of Alyssa Latson.

'Always wanted to try it,' Nolan - who boasts 1.8M social media followers - captioned his Instagram on Monday.

'Thanks @alyssadventures for an amazing class and my supportive friends for helping make it happen. I am uncoordinated and inflexible as hell. My body is basically made of Lego bricks.'

Gould's video received sarcastic comments from his former Modern Family castmates Rico Rodriguez and Jesse Tyler Ferguson as well as Jesse's husband Justin Mikita and Glee alum Kevin McHale.

The former child star concluded his role as Luke Dunphy in the ABC mockumentary sitcom last year after 11 seasons.

Nolan was last seen on the July 12th episode of ABC's The Celebrity Dating Game where he chose Australian 'public relations manager' Rose Rosenfeld.

The Melbourne native - who played a gym coach in 10 Peach soap opera Neighbours - was in London on August 10 and she's also spent her 'endless summer' vacation in Italy and Greece.

Last year, Gould served guest judge duties on Quibi dance competition Floored as well as portraying time traveler Travis Tordjman in the satirical variety show, What's Up North.

The four-time SAG Award winner will next play Ivan in Josh Yunis' Jewish summer camp dramedy Camp alongside Joey King and Horatio Sanz.

But it's unclear if the coming-of-age dramedy will ever see the light of day considering the serious legal trouble the 52-year-old SNL alum is currently facing.

An anonymous plaintiff is suing Sanz for allegedly 'grooming her as early as age 15, giving her alcohol, and then groping her against her will when she was 17' - according to Variety.

'However often she repeats her ludicrous allegations or tries to rope in other high-profile names to generate media attention, they will always be false,' Horatio's lawyer Andrew Brettler told the mag.

'Before filing this lawsuit anonymously, she demanded $7.5M in exchange for her silence. We, of course, refused and will vigorously contest these totally meritless claims.'
