“Modern Family” star Ariel Winter and her boyfriend, Levi Meaden, were recently photographed smoking while taking a walk along the streets of Sydney.

On Tuesday night, the actress and Meaden went bar-hopping. In the snap (via Yahoo), Winter can be seen wearing an all-black ensemble, while Meaden is wearing a navy blue shirt and black pants.

Winter’s smoking photos came as a surprise to fans who are used to seeing the actress as Alex Dunphy, an awkward middle child, in the hit ABC sitcom. But at 18-year-old, Winter has proven time and time again that her character Alex is very much different from her real-life persona. Just recently, the actress shared daring photos of herself wearing a bikini via Instagram taken during her getaway in Bora Bora, but this isn’t something that Alex will do in “Modern Family.”

Meanwhile, Winter recently shared a photo of herself with actor Burt Reynolds via the same social media site. The actress told her more than two million followers that she will make an announcement very soon.

But Maxim seemed to have spilled the news before Winter could make her own announcement. The magazine has already reported that Winter and Reynolds will be starring in the upcoming movie, “Dog Years.” The film will chronicle the life of an elderly man named Vic Edwards (Reynolds), who used to be a famous movie star. He will have to come to terms with the fact that things are changing for him. Winter will be playing the role of a messed up goth girl who works for the elderly man as a driver.

One of the much-awaited scenes from “Dog Years” has to do with Winter’s bathtub scene. In June 2016, Winter shared a photo while dipping in a bathtub. Even though she looked naked in the snap, the actress told her followers that she’s actually wearing lady bit pasties.

“Dog Years” is slated for release in theaters in the United States sometime this year.
