Vergara opened up about her physical transformation for her performance in Netflix’s “Griselda” in an interview with Variety published Wednesday. The actress portrayed Colombian drug lord Griselda Blanco on the crime drama.

“She was maybe not a Barbie doll, but the real Griselda Blanco had something — she had some kind of sex appeal that I needed to show,” Vergara told the outlet.
