Sofia Vergara has confessed that her “big boobs and body” have “opened doors” for her throughout her career.
In an interview with El Pais, Sofia discussed her figure and how it has affected her Hollywood career.
Vergara responded: “[…] It would be absurd to deny it or for that to make me feel bad. On the contrary, I’m grateful for [my] life. My giant boobs and my body opened doors for me; they were my passport to the world when I was 20 years old, when I started as a model, but today I’m 51-years-old and I’m still here.”

She continued: “I am not afraid of [taking a] risk, I work harder than anyone, I have the personality, I have always been aware of what was outside and I have not been afraid. There are women who are prettier, younger and who have bigger breasts and a better body than me, but I’m still around because I have demonstrated that I can stay.”
The A-list actress, who is perhaps best known for her role as Gloria in Modern Family, is set to star in her new film Griselda, a “bloodthirsty drug trafficker” and mother who started up a cartel in Miami after fleeing from Colombia.
When asked “when she realised her appearance had an effect on others,” Vergara said: “When I was very young, since high school the boys have all wanted to be with me. Not that it made me feel any better, but you realise that they treat you differently. From a very young age, I’ve known my strengths and I’ve played them, but if you only see my boobs then that’s your problem.”
The actress also discussed empowerment in women, which is “trendy now”. However, Sofia admitted that “12 years ago it wasn’t so much”. She said “women are not saints” and aren’t perfect.
At the age of 51, Sofia says she feels “very fulfilled” and has “done much more in her career than she ever dreamed of”.
