The tension between Pablo Motos y Sofia Vergara did not stay on the set The Anthill, Well, the anger that the actress showed at the presenter for some of his questions has reached the international press. Some media They appreciate that the interpreter went “for the jugular.” Others said that not only she was uncomfortable, since the Valencian didn't know where to go either.
The Colombian interpreter came to the program to talk about the new series she stars in for Netflix, Griselda. A production in which she plays the drug trafficker of the same name who operated in Miami since the late 70s, awakening the fear even of Pablo Escobar himself. However, far from just talking about her role, Motos asked her other questions of a more personal nature, something that bothered the actress.
The discomfort became evident when the communicator gave his opinion on Vergara's accent when pronouncing Modern Family, name of the series where he worked for eleven seasons. The actress explained to her, bluntly and without smiling, that her accent did not prevent her from succeeding in the United States.
“How many Emmy nominations do you have?” he asked Motos, who responded that he had “two.” Vergara then proceeded to ask him about his nominations for the Golden Globes and the Screen Actors Guild Awards.
However, the climate worsened when the presenter questioned her true hair color – he questioned whether she was blonde – and the sympathy she aroused among the public. “But why does it draw your attention? Do you dislike me?” Don't you understand what it is about me that people like? “It sounds a little like envy to me,” Vergara responded.
