Sofia Vergara is in Europe promoting her upcoming Netflix series, Griselda . The Colombian superstar stopped at the famous Spanish talk show El Hormiguero, for a sit-down interview with host Pablo Motos. However, things turned interesting when Motos began making fun of her accent.
The 51-year-old actress was talking about her time on the award-winning sitcom Modern Family when Motos asked, “How do you pronounce Modern Family?” Immediately, Vergara asked him, “I say it wrong? Oh, because you speak better English than me? Ah.”

There’s always someone in the equation — and I’ve been the person and I’ve also facilitated for the person — and here it was Sofia who was like, ‘I want to do this. I don’t know that I can do this but I want to try.’ And I knew she could.”
