At the premiere of ‘Griselda’, Karol G shared an interesting fact regarding her acting debut with ET. Despite the creators envisioning a more substantial role for the 32-year-old ‘TQG’ singer, she decided to take a step back in her burgeoning acting career. The singer very humbly shared that she wanted to learn before diving into the deep waters. 

“I was super nervous. I think they came to me with a different character,” Karol confessed, adding “I was like, ‘Wait, this is my first time doing this and I think I’m gonna accept something less.’ I wanted to start learning first,” she explained with infectious enthusiasm. The singer-turned-actress acknowledged the significance of pacing herself as she delves into this new chapter of her career. 

Despite the initial nervous energy, Karol G became a proverbial sponge on set, absorbing every lesson and learning from her fellow castmates. “I was a little sponge absorbing everything on the set and learning a lot from my other castmates, and I’m super happy,” she gleefully shared. The joy and excitement in her voice hinted at a fulfilling experience.
