LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: In a recent interview on 'The Kelly Clarkson Show', Sofia Vergara faced an unexpected exchange with host Kelly Clarkson regarding her transformation for the role of Griselda Blanco in the Netflix miniseries.

The tension arose when Clarkson downplayed the makeup and changes, suggesting it was only a minor alteration to Vergara's appearance.

During the interview, Clarkson expressed her opinion, stating, “I feel like they only changed your nose or something” referring to Vergara's portrayal of the infamous Colombian drug lord. Vergara, visibly surprised, responded by asking if Clarkson was “crazy.”

Clarkson persisted in her view that the changes were minimal. The singer suggested that it probably took time but emphasized that a "slight change completely changed (her) being."

“It looks slight. You know what I’m saying? Like, when you look at you, it doesn’t look …” before the 'Modern Family' alum cut her off. 

Vergara, firm in her response, clarified, “No, Kelly, it was hours.” She detailed the various aspects of the transformation, including teeth, a wig, and alterations to her nose. 

To stress her point, the 'Wild Card' actress raised her voice, shouting, “It was a wig! Shut up!”

“It was a lot. They did a lot to me. It was teeth, it was wig, it was nose,” she continued, adding, “It was plastic from here to here.” 

Eventually, Clarkson began to backtrack, acknowledging the seamlessness of the transformation. She praised the makeup team for their exceptional work, suggesting that Vergara could seamlessly embody a different character in another movie. 

“They did such a good job that it looks seamless,” she explained before adding, “You just look like a different — like, you literally look like you could actually just be this person in another movie. You could have two careers.”

She continued, “You literally look like you’re a different actress, like, playing the role. You could have a whole different life.” 

According to Vergara, she was much happier with Clarkson's new explanation, telling the TV host, “That’s exactly what I wanted — that reaction.”
