Sofía Vergara is not one to be taken lightly when it comes to her role in the Netflix crime series, Griselda. In a recent interview on The Kelly Clarkson Show, the Modern Family actress discussed the incredible physical transformation she underwent to portray drug queenpin Griselda Blanco. And let me tell you, it was no small feat!
When Kelly Clarkson suggested that the change in Sofía’s appearance seemed slight, the actress couldn’t help but react with a mix of shock and humor. “Are you crazy?” Sofía exclaimed. “Don’t be jealous! It was hours in the makeup chair!”
Contrary to Kelly’s assumption, Sofía’s transformation was not just a simple nose job. It involved extensive hours of work, from the wig she wore to the prosthetic teeth and nose she sported. The talented makeup team did such an impeccable job that Sofía looked like a completely different person.
As the interview continued, Kelly finally understood the magnitude of Sofía’s transformation. “They did such a good job that it looked seamless. You literally look like you could actually just be this person in other movies,” Kelly realized.
Sofía’s response revealed her true intentions for the transformation. “That is exactly what I wanted, that reaction. And I love that you thought it was just a little thing because that means it looks natural,” Sofía explained with gratitude.
She also shared her concerns about being typecast and underappreciated for her dramatic acting skills. Sofía wanted to ensure that audiences would fully believe in her portrayal of the serious and intense character, Griselda Blanco. She wanted to completely immerse herself in the role and make any trace of her famous character, Gloria Pritchett, disappear.
Now, Griselda is available for streaming on Netflix, and audiences can witness Sofía Vergara’s incredible transformation firsthand. If you want to see the full interview with Kelly Clarkson, be sure to check out the video above.
