Sofia Vergara hasn't always loved her curvacious body and ample bust- 34 DD to be exact! When la actriz who plays Gloria Delgado Pritchett on ABC's Emmy award winning series "Modern Family" sat down with Self magazine for their October issue, the Colombian starlet, who is praised for her amazing figure, admits that as a naturally blond 13-year-old, she wished for a tomboyish figure above anything else.
Vergara told the mag:
"I wanted surgery. I told my mom, 'As soon as I'm older, please take these boobs away.' She said, 'Sofia, shut up. When you're 18, it will be different.' 'I was like, 'Why would I want these huge t--s?' I'm a 34 DD. It's hard to dress. No matter what I wear, I look like a stripper."
Now Sofia, older and wiser, says she has learned to accept her cup size.
"I'm grateful I have them, and honestly, they've helped me a lot in my career. And I've always felt sexy."
Another step in transforming herself into a marketable actress was going to the dark side – by toning down her naturally blond locks.
"I'm a natural blonde, but when I started acting, I would go to auditions, and they didn't know where to put me because I was voluptuous and had the accent but I had blonde hair. The moment I dyed my hair dark, it was, 'Oh, she's the hot Latin girl.' I loved it … Being brunette toned me down a bit."
Vergara adds that embracing her Latino looks helped her develop her onscreen identity.
"For every 100 roles that come out for another actress, there are two that fit somebody like me. I mean, I cannot play a scientist. I know who I am. I know how I look. I know how I sound. I'm not going to tell my agent, 'Book me for 'Schindler's List 2.'"
We hope not! We love Vergara as a vixen!
