In a captivating 2024 interview with E! News, Jeremy Maguire shared insights about his unique perspective on life, expressing, “I’ve been told I’m a 30-year-old in a kid’s body.” He further elaborated on this notion by stating, “I’ve been told I’m an old soul. Which, I do think that of myself, too.” This intriguing self-reflection reveals his maturity and depth, making him relatable to both his peers and older generations.
Having been born in 2011, just two years prior to the premiere of the hit series on ABC, Jeremy became an integral part of the show in 2015, portraying Joe Pritchett, the beloved son of Gloria and Jay Pritchett. He candidly recounted the challenges of growing up in the spotlight, noting, “When you’re growing up and there’s a camera in front of your face, sometimes you don’t wrap your head around the fact that these aren’t your actual family.” This emotional insight highlights the complexities of childhood and the deep connections he formed on set, stating, “And that’s just really hard, especially for me because, you know, I love everybody. After Modern ended, I was so sad ’cause it was the only life I’ve ever known.”
Despite the emotional challenges he faced following the conclusion of the show, Jeremy bounced back swiftly, showcasing his talent in all 12 episodes of Disney’s Turner & Hooch reboot in 2021. He is not just waiting for opportunities to come; he is actively creating them. If the perfect role doesn’t present itself, he is prepared to take matters into his own hands. “It’s very therapeutic,” he remarked, emphasizing the power of creativity in his life. He has engaged in writing poems, stories, and even treatments for scripts that he believes could evolve into exciting projects in the future. This proactive approach to his career underscores his commitment to the craft and his desire to explore new avenues in the entertainment industry.
