"I was telling her all my favorite parts of the script and all the parts that made me laugh out loud," said Ferrera to PEOPLE about the movie's director, Greta Gerwig. "And I said, 'Oh my God, I laughed so hard when you cut to the dad doing his Spanish lessons,' because my husband was literally in the other room doing his Spanish lessons."

"Right away she was like, 'Oh my God, does he want to play your husband?' And I was like, 'I don't know, you'll have to ask him,'" said Ferrera.
