Vergara who is known for her sexy looks confessed her love ‘creative’ cooking during an interview with the mirror.co.uk recently.

“I don’t always have the time if I come home late or I’m travelling a lot. When I’m not working, I love to take the time to make my favourite meals,” she said.

“Lots of casseroles and potato dishes. I like to be very creative... sometimes too creative,” she added.

The film has received great reviews so far with the Rotten Tomatoes' audience giving it 90 percent with an average rating on the "Tomato Meter" at 7 out of 10.

Film lovers can catch it at their nearest Ster-kinekor theatre from 8 August.
