“It took hours, Kelly.”
Sofía Vergara was — jokingly — offended by Kelly Clarkson saying her jaw-dropping physical transformation in the brand new Netflix series “Griselda” looked natural.
The 51-year-old Columbian beauty stopped by Clarkson’s daytime talk show on Wednesday and discussed morphing into the real-life Griselda Blanco, a Colombian cartel leader often known as “The Black Widow.”
“That is incredible,” Clarkson, 41, said of Vergara’s makeover. “I feel like they only modified your nose or something.”
“What?” Vergara loudly asked the “American Idol” alum. “Are you crazy?”
Earlier this week, Vergara called her “giant boobs” and her body her “passport to the world,” but her signature curves and trademark sexy smolder are buried under prosthetics makeup for the drama.
“Whatever they did though, it looks slight,” Clarkson struggled to get her message across. “It doesn’t appear to be — you realize what I’m saying?”
“No, Kelly. It took hours!” Vergara said to the audience’s amusement.
Clarkson then tried explaining that the “slight change” to Vergara’s appearance “probably took time” but completely “modified your being.”
“Shut up!” Vergara playfully interrupted the host.
“It was teeth. It was nose,” she listed off the prosthetics used to realize Griselda’s look. “It was plastic from here to here!”
Finally coming to an understanding, Clarkson said the makeup artists did “such a superb job that it looks seamless.”
“You literally appear to be you can actually just be this person and other movies. You might have two careers,” Clarkson said.
“It looks real, right?” Vergara finally got serious.
Vergara, who is maybe best known for taking part in Gloria Pritchett for all 11 seasons of “Modern Family” then thanked Clarkson for the compliment because aimed to bury her likeness for the darker role.
“I wanted Sofía and Gloria Pritchett to vanish,” she said. “I didn’t want the audience to say ‘Why does Gloria Pritchett think with that rubber nose that she will be able to trick us into considering that she’s a dramatic, killer actress?’”
“Griselda” is out there to stream on Netflix on Thursday.
