00:00That's not Gloria?
00:01No, wait, no, no.
00:02Ugh!
00:04Para que me respeten!
00:06I have done great movies that I love.
00:08Do you even know how smart I am in Spanish?
00:16That one is very easy.
00:17That's Modern Family, Gloria.
00:19Do you even know how smart I am in Spanish?
00:21I miss everything from the actors
00:24to the scripts that were so well-written.
00:27The whole show, the whole 11 years, I missed all of it.
00:31The craft service was really good, too.
00:34You know, as an actress, to be able to land a role
00:37as amazing in a show that people loved all over the world,
00:40like 80 countries, whatever,
00:42it was not only kids or adults,
00:44it was just whole families that were so happy to see us
00:48and had so many laughs with Gloria
00:51and the rest of the cast.
00:53In my country, when a man gets down on one knee,
00:56it's because he either wants to get married
00:58or he's been shot.
00:59Sometimes it's been because of both.
01:01That's Gloria, too.
01:04That's not Gloria?
01:05Oh my God, I play the same characters.
01:09Is this, I don't know, is this Titi?
01:14Are you sure it's not Gloria?
01:15It's a movie.
01:17The Three Stooges?
01:20Okay, what is it?
01:23Oh, yes, oh my God.
01:27With that director, Gary Marshall,
01:30I mean, oh, that was an amazing, amazing project for me.
01:34In my country, when a man gets down on one knee,
01:36it's because he either wants to get married
01:38or he's been shot.
01:40I was talking to Bon Jovi.
01:42All my friends from Colombia went crazy
01:45because, you know, that was our love.
01:49I'll pay you $830,000 for a job
01:55that won't take you more than 10 minutes.
01:59That is Titi.
02:01No, wait, no, no.
02:02That is the woman from, what is her name?
02:05The Smurfs.
02:07No, The Three Stooges.
02:10I'll pay you $830,000 for a job
02:13that won't take you more than 10 minutes.
02:15It was such an amazing type of comedy
02:18and it was so groundbreaking at the time.
02:20It was spectacular, of course.
02:22It was a remake, but the cast was so amazing.
02:24The directors, it was a great script.
02:27It was so much fun and it was, you know,
02:29one of my first movies.
02:31So it was, like, really, really exciting
02:32for me to be on a real big movie set.
02:37I am one of the first female serial killers.
02:39I am going to be here until I die.
02:41It's Titi.
02:42It's Medea Goes to Jail.
02:44I'm one of the first female serial killers.
02:48I'm going to be here until I die.
02:50That was super fun.
02:51I got the script and I really didn't understand
02:54how to make that character funny
02:55because she was a serial killer.
02:57We had to do a table read for the first time.
03:00And I'm like, I don't know what I'm gonna do with this role.
03:03And it hit me, like, two days before
03:05that she needed to be, like, very childish
03:08and very innocent.
03:10And I said, I'm just gonna read it like that
03:12to see what Tyler Perry thinks.
03:14And he was like, this is perfect.
03:17He was one of the first ones to, you know,
03:19give me the opportunity to do movies.
03:21So that was great for me to be part
03:23of one of those movies for minorities.
03:25A whole black and Latin cast, amazing.
03:28And he's so, like, creative and he's so hands-on.
03:32I think he even did my makeup.
03:33I know.
03:35Almost.
03:38The fear of failure is a fabulous motivator.
03:41I have no clue.
03:43The Smurfs?
03:45What was my name on The Smurfs?
03:47Odile!
03:48The fear of failure is a fabulous motivator.
03:51Gargamel was one of my favorite characters of The Smurfs
03:54because he was the bad guy.
03:56So it was a lot of fun to play that character.
03:58I want to say we shot in Paris some of it.
04:00And in New York, which is amazing to shoot in New York.
04:05You're never going to be happy cooking for someone else.
04:09That is New Year's Eve.
04:12A cooking what?
04:14Empanadas.
04:15Ah!
04:16I know, I know!
04:18One of my favorite movies that I've ever done.
04:20Chef.
04:21You're never going to be happy cooking for someone else.
04:23That movie was amazing, amazing to shoot.
04:27And Jon Favreau is a foodie and he was so into each scene.
04:31It was fantastic to have him as a director.
04:36Sherman always pursued me.
04:38My brothers were really tall, would get so upset.
04:41Why can't you find that tall man?
04:42Like it's easy.
04:45Oh my God.
04:47That's Gloria.
04:48Sherman always pursued me.
04:52This one is another Tyler Perry movie.
04:54Come on, yes.
04:55Sherman always pursued me.
04:58My brothers were really tall, would get so upset.
05:01Why can't you find that tall man?
05:03I wasn't sleeping with any of The Smurfs,
05:06so it's not The Smurfs.
05:07Ah!
05:08Oh my God, I have done great movies that I love.
05:13Forgot about Fanny Gigolo.
05:15My brothers were really tall, would get so upset.
05:17Why can't you find that tall man?
05:20Like it's easy.
05:21John Turturro, you know,
05:22he's an amazing director and writer
05:25and this was his baby and it was so much fun.
05:28Most of my scenes were with Sharon Stone too.
05:31For me to be next to her, I felt like I was a sausage.
05:34She didn't even have shoes on and she looked like a Barbie,
05:39perfection.
05:40And then on top of that,
05:41we had to be kind of like sexy outfits.
05:43So I was more worried about how I looked
05:46than my performance actually.
05:49You, me, Fat Chance.
05:52I need, the problem is that they all sound very familiar.
05:56You, me, Fat Chance.
05:58It's a movie or a TV show, but I know it.
06:01Just say it.
06:02You, me, Fat Chance.
06:03I think it was also New Year's Eve.
06:07Oh yes, I was a penguin.
06:09You, me, Fat Chance.
06:12Oh, with Robin Williams.
06:16It was amazing.
06:17You know, I got to go to Australia and usually animation,
06:21you, and I've done some animation.
06:24You're usually alone in your set.
06:26That movie, the director wanted all of us
06:30on the recording studio.
06:33So it was amazing because I actually got to do acting
06:36with Robin Williams.
06:37So it was amazing.
06:39Imagine you're in love with this penguin.
06:41Okay, I'm ready.
06:46This is supposed to be the country of dreams.
06:48I know you felt it when you got off this fucking plane.
06:52So that you respect me!
06:56Griselda.
06:57This is supposed to be the country of dreams.
07:02And I know that you guys felt it
07:03when you came down of that Sonova Beach airplane.
07:08Classy.
07:16I had many reservations because it was the first time
07:18doing many things for me, acting in Spanish,
07:21acting with prosthetics, doing drama.
07:24I had only really done comedy, Modern Family.
07:27It was new everything for me.
07:29Smoking, I've never smoked.
07:31I had to learn how to smoke.
07:32It was a challenging, challenging role and long hours.
07:36And I had never been in a project
07:38where I was in every scene.
07:39So I didn't know what that was.
07:41The whole thing was not easy.
07:45This fifth Emmy nomination for me.
07:47No, I'm kidding.
07:48This fifth Emmy nomination for me is very special
07:51because maybe now I think because Julie Boyne
07:53is not against me, maybe I can win, maybe.
07:56I always say that Julie won two Emmys for Modern Family.
07:59I think one of those were mine.
08:00But she's keeping it for me in her house.
08:02Now it's special because it's a whole new world
08:05for me acting, learning so many new things
08:08like crying on camera, smoking.
08:11I knew I was part of something good
08:13from the moment I set foot on the set
08:16because of the writing and the director
08:18and the actors and the whole project
08:20and Netflix backing us up.
08:22But I didn't think that I was gonna be able
08:25to be singled out and nominated for this.
08:27So it's really fun and special.
