Sofía Vergara has spent a long time preparing for what might possibly be her biggest – and most different – role yet! The 51-year-old Modern Family alum has been gearing up to portray notorious Colombian drug lord Griselda Blanco for eight years for the upcoming bilingual crime series Griselda, which she is executive-producing alongside Luis Balaguer and Andrés Baiz. The crime series reunites the team behind Narcos, and is due to land on Netflix in January 2024.
Blanco, a cocaine trafficker who created a huge empire in Miami during the ’70s and ’80s and allegedly ordered numerous murders, has been referred to as the ‘Black Widow,’ ‘The Godmother,’ and ‘Godmother of Cocaine.’ And from the promo pictures and trailer alone, it’s clear to see that Vergara’s transformation into Blanco is remarkable!
The America’s Got Talent judge, who is used to looking ultra-glamorous in figure-hugging dresses, sky-high heels, and sporting flawless hair and makeup, looked a million miles away from her usual self in the trailer from the six-episode limited series. She shared the trailer with her 31.9M Instagram followers on November 13th, and to say her fans were blown away by her transformation would be an understatement!
“Congrats Sofía you really came out of the ‘pretty girl’ shell and move on to an impactful role. I can’t wait to watch your performance!” praised one fan, as another said she was “killing it.” “Can’t wait to see it… new version of you,” commented another fan, followed by the star eyes emoji. “Can’t wait,” gushed another fan, followed by three fire emojis, as another said, “This is gonna be great,” followed by the red heart emoji.
