☂During her conversation with Jimmy Fallon on Tuesday, the "Modern Family" actress discussed her role in the upcoming Netflix miniseries titled "Griselda."
🍰Sofía Vergara mentioned how she acquired some new skills during the filming of her new show.
🧜The show is centered around the life of Griselda Blanco, a Colombian drug trafficker who held sway over Miami's criminal scene in the 1970s and 1980s, earning the name "Godmother of Cocaine."
👍Vergara expressed her appreciation for director Andrés Baiz, crediting him with teaching her how to portray her role.
💎“I didn’t know anything,” she said. “He taught me how to smoke. He taught me how to do cocaine. He taught me a lot.”
🥃“Alright, hold on, hold on,” Fallon interrupted. But Vergara clearly had more things to say as she humorously went on.
꧒“It was amazing because I was 51 years old and I didn’t even know how to, you know, how to light a cigarette,” she added. “I’ve never done cocaine. So it’s like, it was amazing. It was like, a great experience.”
♛Amidst the audience's laughter, she soon realized the innocent error and corrected herself, saying, "No, no!"
♊“The cocaine that I did was fake,” she clarified. “But I had to pretend. The cigarettes are also fake. Everything was, it’s fake.”
൩“But the acting was real,” she added, prompting Fallon to burst into laughter.
🌸“Griselda” is set for release on Netflix on Jan. 25.
