Access Hollywood host Mario Lopez went viral after people started to notice the difference between..‘work Mario’ and ‘homies Mario’.
Mario Lopez is of Mexican descent. He was born in Chula Vista, California, to parents who are originally from Mexico.
Like many of us, he code switches, but folks who are confused about his heritage were caught off guard when they realized that he ‘sounds’ different with his friends and family.
In a recently posted video Mario was seen enjoying some Mexican food with ‘the homies’ he spoke in Spanish and English with a little bit of slang here and there.

Mario Lopez was born to immigrant parents, is a trump supporter, and code switches when enjoying Modelo and mariscos. It doesn’t get more first generation American Mexican than that.

Mario hopped on social media to set the record straight, he said he is trying to cash checks period… and to do that you have to be a little bit more polished.
