“It took hours, Kelly.”

Sofia Vergara was jokingly offended because Kelly Clarkson said her astonishing physical transformation in the new Netflix series “Griselda” seemed natural.

The 51-year-old Colombian beauty stopped by Clarkson’s daytime talk show on Wednesday and talked about transforming into real-life Griselda Blanco, a Colombian cartel leader known as “The Black Widow.”

“This is incredible,” Clarkson, 41, said of Vergara’s makeover. “I feel like they just changed your nose or something.”

“That?” Vergara asked the “American Idol” alum out loud. “You’re crazy?”

Earlier this week, Vergara called out her “giant tits” and her body. your “passport to the world” But her signature curves and signature sexy smolder are buried under prosthetic makeup for drama.

“Whatever they did, though, seems minor,” Clarkson struggled to get his message across. “It doesn’t look like… you know what I’m saying?”

“No, Kelly. “It took hours!” Vergara said to the amusement of the audience.

Clarkson then attempted to explain that the “slight change” in Vergara’s appearance “probably took time” but “completely changed her being.”

“Shut up!” Vergara jokingly interrupted the presenter.

“It was the teeth. It was the nose,” he listed the prosthetics used to achieve Griselda’s look. “It was plastic from here to here!”

Finally coming to an understanding, Clarkson said the makeup artists did “such a good job it looks perfect.”

“It literally feels like you could be this person and other movies. You could have two careers,” Clarkson said.

“It looks real, right?” Vergara finally got serious.

Vergara, perhaps best known for playing Gloria Pritchett during all 11 seasons of “Modern Family,” later thanked Clarkson for the compliment because she intended to bury her image for the darker role.

“I wanted Sofia and Gloria Pritchett to disappear,” he said. “I didn’t want the audience to say, ‘Why does Gloria Pritchett think with that rubber nose that she can trick us into believing she’s a dramatic, murderous actress?’”

“Griselda” will be available to stream on Netflix on Thursday.
