Sofia Vergara was forced to “wrap” her curves due to their “bouncing”
The Modern Family starlet wanted to hide her famous figure while filming for the Netflix series Griselda. She recently spoke to Variety about the methods she took to change her body to fit the character and explained: “I didn’t want the bouncing that is natural for Latin women to show. I would have to wrap myself so that my butt wouldn’t jiggle.”
“I had to wear a really bad bra. I had to cover my arms, because I have very skinny arms and you don’t look threatening when you have this stupid little arm,” Vergara admitted. The 53-year-old actress tried to convey “some kind of sex appeal” without using her shape: “She was maybe not a Barbie doll but the real Griselda Blanco had something.”

Variety reported that Sofia spent a whopping three hours per day sat in the hair and makeup department in an attempt to transform her into the Colombian drug lord. Half the time was spent on her face and prosthetics while the other half focussed on her iconic curly wig.
Opening up about her time filming for Netflix, Vergara chatted with Kelly Clarkson: “It was a lot, they did a lot to me. It was teeth, it was wig, it was nose. It was plastic from here to here.” Griselda is a drama miniseries that was first released back in January and stars Sofia alongside Karol G, Alberto Guerra, Vanessa Ferlito and Martin Rodriguez.
The Netflix description reads: “Inspired by real events, this fictional dramatisation shows Griselda Blanco’s journey from Medellin to becoming ‘the Godmother’ of Miami’s drug empire.’
Griselda is loosely based on the life of Blanco, who has been described as a “murderous, psychopathic and paranoid” person who operated as a drug lord back in the 80s. She was reportedly “prominent in the cocaine-based drug trade” and claimed to have been part of the Medellin Cartel.
Blanco was shot dead in Medellin in 2012 aged 69. While portraying the criminal, Sofia performed her first ever sex scene and admitted she was “worried she was going to look horrific”.
At a Netflix FYSEE event, Vergara confessed: “I was like: ‘Where are they shooting me? The cellulite? From the side? Uh, I’m vain I guess. That one kept me awake, I think.”
