Sofia Vergara repeatedly shut down a male interviewer in a savage roast as she called him out for making fun of her accent and questioning how “natural” her appearance is.
The Colombian-American actress, 51, appeared on the Spanish talk show El Hormiguero earlier this week to discuss her upcoming Netflix series Griselda. But it seemed like she wasn’t impressed by interviewer Pablo Motos’ line of questioning as she grew visibly irritated at the talk show host.
Speaking in Spanish, Sofia was discussing her role as Gloria Pritchett in Modern Family, the hit ABC sitcom that ran from 2009 to 2020. But Pablo appeared to be poking fun at her Colombian accent when he suddenly interrupted her and asked: “How do you say Modern Family?”

Sofia was quick to hit back at the comment as she looked unimpressed while responding: “I say it wrong? Oh, because you speak better English than me? Ah.”

The actress turned her head away from the host with a disappointed look on her face. But as he began talking again Sofia decided she wasn’t going to let him move on that easily as she cheekily asked him: “How many Emmy nominations do you have in the United States?”
She continued to roast him, adding: “How many times did they nominate you at the Golden Globes?” For context, Sofia has been nominated for four Golden Globes and Four Emmy awards.

At several points during Modern Family’s 11 seasons, Sofia was even the highest-paid actress in the show. Her role saw her take home two People’s Choice Awards and four Screen Actors Guild Awards over the years.
It wasn’t the first time Pablo’s line of questioning appeared to annoy Sofia. Earlier in the show he’d also quizzed her on how “natural” her appearance is as he accused her of having fake hair and eyelashes.

“I guess it’s a lie that you are a natural blonde,” Pablo stated, referencing a photo of Sofia with darker hair when she was younger. He then asked: “The hair you have now, is it dyed or natural?”
Seemingly baffled by the odd question, Sofia hit back: “It’s mine. I was 20 years old, now I’m 51 years old … What do you want? You were born with your hair that colour? Did you dye it?”

The host made yet another blunder while discussing Sofia’s upcoming series Griselda. Despite claiming he’d already watched the six-part drama, Pablo used the wrong name for Sofia’s character.
She called him out on the mistake, telling him: “She really wasn’t named Griselda Marcos, she was named Griselda Blanco.” She added: “But because you saw the entire series … I knew I was going to catch you.”

Sofia looks completely unrecognisable in the Netflix series as she transforms into Griselda, a real-life drug kingpin. The Colombian woman became known as “The Godmother” of the underworld after creating one of the most profitable cartels in history in Miami from the 1970s to the early 2000s.
The highly-anticipated Netflix series follows her journey to becoming a ruthless boss of a booming drug empire. It’s set to premiere on the streaming platform on January 25.
