Sofía Vergara was taken aback when she heard what Kelly Clarkson had to say about her transformation in the new Netflix drama, Griselda. The former Modern Family star plays the lead role as real-life Colombian drug lord Griselda Blanco. While Sofía's appearance in the show was not meant to be an exact replica of the real Griselda, she did spend a considerable amount of time in the makeup chair with prosthetics, including a fake nose.
During a recent appearance on The Kelly Clarkson Show, the host complimented Sofía on her look in the series. However, she also remarked that it seemed like they had only changed her nose. This caught Sofía off guard, and she exclaimed, "What?!" Kelly tried to explain her point, but Sofía couldn't believe what she was hearing. "Are you crazy?!" she added, as Kelly continued to clarify her comment.
Kelly's intention was to highlight how even a small change in appearance can have a significant impact on a person's overall look. However, Sofía was quick to point out that she spent hours being transformed for the role. The audience erupted in laughter as Sofía jokingly said, "It was a wig! Shut up." She then explained that it wasn't just a wig, but also teeth, nose, and other prosthetics that were used to alter her appearance.
Sofía's transformation for Griselda was a lengthy process. The head of the makeup department shared that they didn't want to replicate the real Griselda's look, but rather transition Sofía's appearance to fit the character's persona. They wanted to steer away from her usual "sweet and perky" image. As a sped-up video of Sofía's makeup and wig application was shown, Kelly praised the team for doing a fantastic job. She even joked that Sofía could have a second career as a different person in another movie.
Sofía's performance as Griselda has garnered positive reactions from fans, with many expressing their amazement at her portrayal of the notorious drug lord. The show has just been released on Netflix today, and viewers are already raving about it. The real Griselda Blanco was murdered in 2012, and the show offers an insight into her life and crimes.
Sofía was thrilled to hear that people thought it was a different actress playing Griselda in the series, thanks to the seamless transformation. She mentioned that this was exactly the reaction she was hoping for, as it meant that her appearance looked natural. The head of the makeup department shared that they didn't want to replicate Griselda's look, but rather transition Sofía's appearance to fit the character's persona. They wanted to steer away from her usual "sweet and perky" image, as they told the Daily Mail.
As a syndicated show in the US, The Kelly Clarkson Show has a wide reach, and Sofía's appearance on the show has already generated buzz for Griselda. Fans are praising her performance and expressing their excitement for the show. It's clear that Sofía's transformation for the role has paid off, and she has successfully portrayed the infamous "Cocaine Grandmother."
