Sarah Hyland, who recently joined the cast of the Off Broadway revival of "Little Shop of Horrors," has revealed that her husband, Wells Adams, is quite fond of her character's accent. Hyland, known for her role in "Modern Family," shared on Live with Kelly & Mark that her husband found her Audrey accent to be "very sexual."

"My husband was asking me on the phone, 'Hey, how do you do it? Do it for me!'" she said. "So I gave him a little preview over the phone of the accent." His response? "He goes, 'This is going to be very sexual for me.'"

Adams further explained his attraction by comparing it to Marisa Tomei's Oscar-winning performance in "My Cousin Vinny." Hyland clarified that her accent is not an imitation of previous portrayals of Audrey but a unique interpretation.

While the accent may have ignited some sparks in their personal life, Hyland admitted to feeling nervous about returning to the stage after a long hiatus. However, she received encouragement from other actors who have previously played the role of Seymour, including Darren Criss, Skyler Astin, and Matt Doyle.

Hyland's revelation about her husband's reaction to her accent has added a fun and unexpected dimension to her role in "Little Shop of Horrors."
