Most people would jump or faint at the opportunity to meet a movie star like George Clooney, but "Modern Family"'s Nolan Gould told ET on Thursday that celebrities are capable of being star stricken as well.

The 12-year-old actor told of the first time he met Clooney last year at the Screen Actors Guild Awards.

"He actually grabbed my bow tie and straightened it, and called me dapper," said Nolan with a smile. "And my mom was like freaking out. She's like, 'Oh my gosh! Oh my gosh! Really? Really?'"

Nolan admitted that receiving a compliment from one of Hollywood's biggest names was "really cool." This year Nolan is looking forward to meeting up with Justin Timberlake and Mila Kunis. The three actors worked on a movie together last year called 'Friends with Benefits,' set to be released this summer.

"Modern Family" received four SAG Award nominations including Ensemble in a Comedy Series. Nolan admitted that they're facing tough competition ("Glee" is also nominated in the Ensemble category) but promised to get his "dance on" if "Modern Family" wins.
