I go to the same high school as manolo. he hangs out with a big group. he also went to my same middle school, emerson. i never knew his mom was famous though, that’s awsome.

I come from the other end of the spectrum in that my mom is 40 years older than me, but we get along great.

It looks like Manolo is very capable of treating his mom well on Mother’s Day. Then he should be rewarded with a night off, so he can hang out with his friends, and let me take care of Sofia’s dinner. Dinner, candlelight, tablecloth, music….*sigh*

sofia is so gorgeous, and her son looks a lot like her. She defintley could pass for his sister or gf. That’s one of the best things I would think of having a child young, when your in your 30′s you still look young and probably can relate to your kids a lot. She talks about him a lot on interviews, it seems their close. How sweet

Whoa, he’s grown up! I rememer seeing a photo of Manolo when he was younger. Cute then, even cuter as a teen. And, he and Sofia honestly do look like brother and sister. That’s a great photo of them!

But I can tell who he gets his looks from, from the mouth, his eyes, eyebrows. He’s almost a male clone of his mother.

I don’t think it was sarcasm or humor, just honest talk about their relationship.

The translation (if it was taken from the magazine page quote) is a little off. When the kid says “it is a little strange to tell your mother what to do. But she’s very simple” its in the context of amateur directing, not telling her what to do as in parenting. It appears that he does some amateur work with the camera and directs his mom, so it would be like saying she’s easy to direct.

Nice Cassavetes reference! (Although Nick had the advantage of being the son of the legendary Indy-film director).

I notice the similarities in their eyes, as well as the nose and the distinctive chin. I wouldn’t notice this were I not such a big fan of Ms Vergara.

I discovered this woman online a few years back, and seeing pics, as well as clips from “Fuera de Serie,” thought she’s the most beautiful woman in the world.

And, while she hasn’t quite achieved A-list stardom in Hollywood (yet), she’s still a model of success. She’s given back to her country in charitable causes, including having a clothing line that fosters education and employment. Also, being a cancer-survivor (thyroid), she founded a charity for children with cancer.

In case you didn’t get the idea, I love and respect this woman SOOO much it’s not even funny, and am confident she’s instilled the same wonderful values in her son.

I love these two. I have a 17 and 19 year old and I’m 36 and it’s the same thing in my house. I’m either mistaken for the sister or nanny. I’m like what in world is a 17 year old doing with a nanny? Tee. Hee. But stranger things have happened. I’m also the same way with cooking. I hate it. If my husband or my older son, who went to culinary school one summer, didn’t cook I’d live off of ramen noodles and canned salmon. Yikes. But I make a pretty mean tuna and cheese casserole. LOL!

Good for him in wanting to be a director and what great practice to get in working with your mom a professional actress. It’s like Gena Rowlands and Nick Cassevettes.

Manola has Sofia’s eyes.
