"Al-Mawed" interviews "Reese Witherspoon" and "Sofia Vergara"
Reese Witherspoon : "I support Hillary Clinton's presidential bid"
Sofia Vergara : “I was happy when I got the title of ‘the most beautiful and attractive woman in the world’”
It was a nice meeting with two famous actresses in America. The meeting was on the occasion of their acting together in a movie in which Reese Witherspoon plays the role of a woman who works with the police, which helps her in catching the bad guys, including the Latin actress Sofia Vergara. Although the movie is a police movie, it is also a comedy movie and the name of the movie is "Hot Pursuit". In some of the movie's events, Reese Witherspoon had to speak Spanish. I know that she does not speak this language, so I asked her how she spoke Spanish as if she knew it fluently in the movie. She said that she practiced some of the sentences that she had to repeat in the novel several times until she mastered these words. But what was more difficult than that was that whenever she started speaking in Spanish with her American accent, Sofia Vergara would laugh at her, and the scene was repeated several times. Of course, Sofia is from Colombia and her language is Spanish.
I said to Reese Witherspoon, of course she's a famous actress, so why did she act in a movie that she also produced? She said:
“Production helps in the success of any film, not only in terms of financial funding, but also in terms of being funny with a nice story. I also asked the actress Sofia Vergara to be with me in the film, as she is of course from Latin America, and a large part of the revenue for American films comes from countries in these regions. In addition to her fame there, she is cheerful on screen and behind the camera as well. She is also beautiful, as she is dark-skinned and tall, and I (Reese Witherspoon) am relatively short and have fair skin, so that would be appropriate in the film’s advertisements, given the difference between the two looks.”
Reese Witherspoon is known to have been paid the highest salary for a film in 2006, surpassing Julia Roberts as the highest paid actress in that year, with a salary of $26 million for her role in the film “Our Family Trouble.” I asked her about her salary for this film, and she avoided answering by saying that she works in many films, but she played this film because she loved the story of the film and expected the audience to love it. I told her that I am Egyptian and in one of the films I played the role of the wife of an Egyptian who was detained by the American government in the story, and she said yes, this film was called “Rendition” in 2007.
It is known that she favors women in films, so I asked her why this favoritism, and she said that actresses in films are in very low demand compared to men, and their wages are much smaller than the wages men receive, not only in terms of actors but also in other jobs in general. I asked her that Hillary Clinton nominated herself to be the President of the United States in the upcoming elections, so would she favor her and support her? She said: Yes, I support any woman who enters the US presidential elections, not just Hillary Clinton, but any other woman who participates in these elections.
Here the conversation turned to the Colombian actress "Sofia Vergara", who has an attractive beauty and an English accent that makes her cheerful and light-hearted. I describe her as "mobile", meaning that she does not stay in one place, but is always moving. This may be what made her the idol of the masses in Latin American countries.
I asked her how she was able to be in this movie with Reese Witherspoon, she said that Reese Witherspoon called her and the meeting between them was nice and there was understanding, and from here they agreed on all the points of the movie, including the humor that she is famous for, as well as speaking in Spanish. She said that Witherspoon speaking in Spanish was so funny that Reese herself could not control herself from laughing during filming.
