Sofía Vergara came to ‘El hormiguero’ last night to present the ‘Griselda’ series for Netflix. Luckily for everyone, He did not hesitate to bullfight Pablo Motos and put him in his place when the presenter tried to do some of his thanks.
“Someone translate for me”
The ‘Modern Family’ actress has already started stomping, without letting herself be overwhelmed by the presenter: when he boasted about having watched the entire series on Netflix, she raised her eyebrows and questioned him: “I can’t believe you’ve seen it all. How many episodes are there? Am I alive or am I dead?”.
Vergara continued to expose Motos, when he made a mistake when saying the last name of his character in the series: “I knew I was going to catch you” river. When she mentioned her age (51 years old), the presenter boasted that she said it so that he would compliment her for “how well she keeps herself” and he was not going to do it, to which she replied: “I don’t care, because look how they applaud”.
Vergara explained that it had been difficult for her to prepare a character like Griselda and the presenter laughed that he had described her with words like “smoking” or “plastic nose”, to which she replied: “Ask more precise questions if you don’t want me to answer you”.
The actress explained that she approached the character so that the viewer would have empathy with him, Tony Soprano style, and she did not understand why Motos began to draw a very long and far-fetched parallel between the point of view of the series and a documentary about gazelles: “What do I say? Someone translate for me” she asked.
Another joke worth mentioning was when Motos tried to make a joke about how Vergara said the title of ‘Modern Family’ and she returned it: “Of course, because you speak better English than me. How many Emmy nominations do you have in the US? And to the Golden Globes? And to the SAG Awards?” And the massacre continued until the end.
