Sofia Vergara of ABC’s hit Modern Family has a body most women would kill to have. But it’s only recently that Sofia herself has come to love her natural beauty and curves.

Sofia graces the cover of the latest Self magazine and tells it all in an interview in the same issue:  


What was it like being a fully-blossomed teenager:
“I wanted surgery. I told my mom: As soon as I’m older, please take these boobs away. My mom would say: ‘Sofia, shut up. When you’re 18, it will be different.’ I was like, why would I want these huge tits?”

How have her feelings about her body changed as she grew into a successful actress in Hollywood:
“I’m a 34 DD. It’s hard to dress. No matter what I wear, I look like a stripper. But I’m grateful I have them, and honestly, they’ve helped me a lot in my career, and I’ve always felt sexy.”


On being a fake brunette:
“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. 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.’”
