Sofia ‘had to learn to do coke’ for role
Last interview with Sophie suspect to air in new docu
Sofia Vergara
HOLLYWOOD actress Sofia Vergara revealed she had to “learn how to do cocaine” ahead of her new Netflix role.
Last month, the 51-yearold star took on the leading role in the new six-part series which explores the life Griselda Blanco.
Colombian Griselda created one of the most notorious drug cartels in history in Florida before she was arrested in 1985.
The mum-of-one told The Graham Norton Show: “Jokes aside, that was one of the hardest things because I had to wear a wig, fake teeth, a fake nose.
“And also, I created this walk, and I had to learn to smoke, and I had to learn to do cocaine.
“So it was a complicated character for me.”
IAN Bailey told of his faith in his last interview before he died and said: “I hope there is a God and they exist.“
The main suspect in the Sophie Toscan du Plantier murder didn’t believe that God was a he or a she but had turned to prayer in the last few years of his life.
He did the interview after his second heart attack at Bantry Hospital with a member of award-winning director Jim Sheridan’s film team.
It will feature in the next documentary he is making about the December 1996 murder. The 66-year-old
Englishman spoke about his fear of dying and how his life was destroyed by Sophie’s killing.
But he did not make any last-minute confession and protested his innocence right up to the end.
He knew he hadn’t long to live because of his deteriorating heart condition and wanted to set the record straight.
A source said: “He spoke about God and if such a thing exists. He believed it did and that he would be going to a better place.
“Ian had gotten very religious and philosophical in the last few years of
his life, especially
Jim Sheridan since he started living alone. He was desperate for his name to be cleared before he died and was very frustrated at the slow pace of the Garda cold case review into the murder.
“He got very upset when he discovered detectives were not looking at any other new suspects in the inquiry and the focus was very much on him, instead of pursuing new leads.
“The interview lasts 40 to 50 minutes and is riveting.”
Meanwhile, gardai are continuing with the cold case review despite Bailey’s death on January 21. The new probe is expected to run for at least another year before a file will be sent to the Director of Public Prosecutions. A Garda source said: “This is a long-term inquiry and every avenue of investigation is being looked at. “They are not going to shut the file and stop everything just because Ian Bailey has died.
“My understanding is no other suspects have emerged so far apart from him. But who knows that could change and people may come forward with new evidence.
“Sophie’s family deserves to know the truth one way or the other.”
