Sofia Vergara loses “control” of her mouth when she's tired.

The 'Hot Pursuit' actress' co-star Reese Witherspoon has revealed the bilingual star is hilarious to work with on set because her English fades and she ends up saying things which don't make sense.

Reese, 39, said: “She made me laugh all the time, she was so funny.

“When she gets tired she does this pronunciation thing which is so funny. It's like, 'What is she saying?!' “

The Colombian-born beauty explained she struggles to differentiate between Spanish and English when she's been on set for a long time which is what leads to her bizarre mumblings.

She joked: “I lose my perfect English, I lost it when I'm tired. It gets really weird. My mouth keeps talking but I've already lost control of it.”

And although her exhausted conversations can be hysterically funny, she confessed it “ruined” scenes when they were trying to shoot the comedy movie.

She added: “Yeah I ruined a lot of takes!”

Despite Sofia's strange habit, the pair admitted they are eager to work together on future movies.

Asked if they would act opposite each other again, Sofia told British chat show 'Lorraine': “Well, if Reese keeps producing things [then yes].”

To which Reese said: “Well if she still shows up and she's still as funny as she is in this movie...”

Reese is also helping plan Sofia Vergara's wedding.

The 'Modern Family' actress is preparing to marry 'Magic Mike XXL' actor Joe Manganiello on November 22 after they got engaged last year, and her 'Hot Pursuit' co-star is one of a group of friends assisting with organising the lavish nuptials.

Sofia explained: “Joe and I are both trying to figure out the wedding because our schedules are so crazy.

“We initially wanted a small wedding but it didn't work out with how many people we wanted there, so we want it really big now.

“Reese is helping, as are all my girlfriends.”

Sofia - who has 21-year-old son Manolo from a previous relationship - also admitted she is open to having children with the 'True Blood’ star.

She told Closer magazine:: “I'm 43 and have a son, but Joe doesn't have children and is younger than me so I've not ruled out having a family together.

“I'll leave it up to God to see what happens.”

Despite her success, Sofia credits her family and friends for helping her stay grounded.

She said: “I try to make work just one part of my life, not the whole thing.

“I try to enjoy what I do, make it real and bring my friends and family along to enjoy it - the money, my house, the events.

“Life goes fast so you can't take work too seriously. I hope my job and fame haven't changed me.”
