Sofía Vergara Calls Role of Griselda in New Netflix Show “Challenging” | Billboard #Shorts
Sofía Vergara has recently opened up about her challenging role as Griselda in the new Netflix show during a recent interview, revealing that the role pushed her out of her comfort zone. The actress admitted that everything about her role was challenging, especially during the first month of filming. This was due to the fact that she had never acted in Spanish or in a drama, and she had to wear prosthetics which took 3 hours to apply.
Vergara also shared that the process of getting into character was physically demanding, with the prosthetic makeup taking a toll on her. She mentioned that by the time her hair and makeup were done, she was already exhausted and wanted to go home, even though her day was just beginning. In addition to the physical challenges, Vergara also opened up about the emotional toll her role took on her. She mentioned that one of the episodes, in particular, was extremely difficult due to the intense and emotionally draining scenes she had to portray.
Furthermore, the actress revealed that filming the show took place at night and away from her home, resulting in sleepless nights and an overall exhausting experience. Despite the challenges she faced, Vergara’s dedication to her role as Griselda is evident in her portrayal of the character. Her candidness about her experiences with the role is a testament to her commitment and the depth she brings to her character.
