Internet applauds Sofia Vergara's honesty as she credits 'giant b**bs and my body' for successful career

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Sofía Vergara is receiving praise from the internet for her candid and honest remarks about her career, looks, and personal choices in a recent interview with Spanish newspaper El País.

The 51-year-old actress credited her 'giant boobs and body' for opening doors early in her career but emphasized that her talents and fearless approach to taking risks have kept her successful in Hollywood.

Sofía Vergara opens up about career, appearance, and personal choices

Vergara, known for her roles in 'Modern Family' and the crime drama 'Griselda,' received acclaim not only for her beauty but also for her skills as a comic actress.

She expressed confidence in her abilities, noting that criticism about her looks is part of the entertainment industry, and she can handle it.

The Colombian-born actress shared insights into her early realization of the impact her appearance had on others, especially during high school. Despite this, she maintained a focus on her strengths and dismissed those who only saw her exterior.

"It would be absurd to deny it or for that to make me feel bad," she said of claims that her looks helped give her a leg up in the entertainment industry.

"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 declared.

Sofía stressed that beyond her looks, it's her acting talents that have allowed her to stay relevant. She acknowledged that there are women who may be considered more conventionally attractive, but her longevity in the industry is a testament to her skills and staying power.

Sofía credits her success also to her fearlessness and willingness to take risks in her career.

"I don’t do brain surgery, it’s just entertainment, and the worst that can happen to me is that they can say I look ugly or that this jackass doesn’t know how to act. I can take it," she told the newspaper.

"It didn't make me feel any better, but you realize that they treat you differently. From a very young age, I’ve known my strengths and I’ve played to them."

"If you only see my boobs, then that’s your problem," she added. "There are women who are prettier, younger, who have bigger breasts and a better body than me, but I’m still around because I have demonstrated that I can stay," she continued.

The interview also touched on personal matters, such as her split with husband Joe Manganiello after nearly eight years of marriage.

She clarified that the decision was influenced by Manganiello's desire for children, which she felt was not fair to the baby due to her age. Sofía, who has a 32-year-old son from her first marriage, expressed readiness to be a grandmother, embracing her role in the next phase of life.

"My marriage broke up because my husband was younger; he wanted to have kids, and I didn’t want to be an old mom," she explained. "I feel it’s not fair to the baby."
