Sofia is consistently one of the best chat show guests out there. I just saw her in the UK on Graham Norton’s show and she was brilliant too. No matter the project she’s charming and her anecdotes are fresh and fun while staying perfectly on promoting message. Love her personality and talent and of course beauty

[@PC-vg8vn]

I watched that too. Not sure if Kevin Hart fully appreciated her constant putdowns.

[@therealmishkin]

I think it’s because she always just played herself on Modern Family, it feels like we know and love her because we do!

[@j-altman]

"Everything was fake, but the ACTING was real."😂😂😂 "Supposedly" "My brother was part of that bussines, he was k....d in the 90's" I love how real she is about recognize she is trying to act out of her comfort zone and doing the best she can without try to sell us she is the greatest actress of all time and how she is not try to hide or lied about her brother, she's up front, I like that. Also, she's nonchalantly sharp and naturally funny and witty with her responses, even when she make a "mess" with words and mislead the sense of the sentence without wanting or when some host try to put her in any situation with tricky questions or scenarios. she (almost) always has the last word and she get away with (almost) anything and it's worth it to watch.

[@EXPATditions]

She's very nice in real life. Around 25 years ago I was just a teen and half her height. She would say "hi boys" in her iconic excited and welcoming voice, and come down to our height and give us a kiss on the cheek. This was in a building on Miami Beach. It was my summer home. I only realized why she was there a few years ago. Rumors are that she was dating a Spanish SuperStar named Luís Miguel. Funny thing is that I never seen him in my life. She wasn't a SuperStar during that time, but was on some Spanish shows (I believe Rojo Vivo). Either way she was nice and humble. Let's all try to be nice, and humble.

[@EXPATditions]

Decoplage hotel and I think it also went by the name of Hotel 100

[@KathySparkle1]

Luis Miguel is known as the Latin Frank Sinatra. He also performed with him in ‘93. His voice is smooth as silk when he sings ballads. There’s a Netflix documentary starring Diego Boneta.

[@swankyangelo]

@@KathySparkle1no he isn’t. He stands on HIS OWN throughout the world. Who refers to him as that? In All my years I have NEVER heard that! He stands on HIS OWN! No need to do what you just did.

[@mayelamunoz4922]

​​@@EXPATditionsI think your confusing her with Myrka Dellanos she was dating Luis Miguel and almost married him. But alot of Latinas are the same 😅

[@EXPATditions]

​@@swankyangeloyea I agree, but it was probably meant with respect to compare him to a great Frank Sinatra. But Luis Miguel is also a $ex symbol which I've never heard the king of NY referred that way. But they're both legends.
