Modern Family creator Steve Levitan has confirmed that stars as big as Britney Spears, George Clooney, Brad Pitt and Julia Roberts have asked to appear on the hit ABC sitcom.

“Quite a few really impressive people have come to us,” Levitan hinted. When asked if one of them might be George Clooney, Julia Roberts or Brad Pitt, Levitan’s eyes lit up and he couldn’t stop himself from uttering: “You’ve gotten…you’ve hit on a couple!” “We just want to wait until it’s the exact right role for the right person,” Levitan explains. “[They are] not turned down, we’re just waiting for it to be right.”

He also specifically says of Britney that her camp called up to ask right at the end of the season, so it was too late for this year. As for next season, “Who knows? If the right thing comes along. If we use someone like Britney Spears who is just such a presence, we need to make sure that it’s OK for us and works within our show. That there’s some fresh take on using her in the show.”

Levitan adds: “It’s very flattering that any big stars want to come on our show.”

Levitan also reveals he is hoping to take Modern Family to Colombia for an episode or two next season. “When you think about places the show should go, it makes sense. So Gloria [Sofia Vergara] can meet her family and introduce her family to our family. Sofia said the president of Colombia will roll out the red carpet!”

Modern Family airs Wednesdays on ABC.
