Sofia Vergara Told To Get A Breast Reduction

This was several years ago, yet my first reaction was ‘NOOOOO, for the sake of titties everywhere.’ Sofia Vergara covers Health Magazine in a sheer dress because, much like the Goldfinger myth, Vergara actually breathes through her breasts and she’ll literally be smothered if covered up. She told the magazine: ‘Years ago, I remember my publicist [at the time] told me: ‘I think you should just reduce your boobs because nobody’s going to take you seriously here.”

On her idiot former-publicist: ‘When I moved to America I was more voluptuous and I felt a little different,’ Vergara, 39, tells the new issue of America’s Health magazine. ’And one time years ago, I remember my publicist [at the time] told me: ‘I think you should just reduce your boobs because nobody’s going to take you seriously here.’ My mother almost had a heart attack. She was like: ‘God is going to punish you! You can’t cut your boobs!”
On being happy with her decision to stay curvy: ’I don’t regret not doing it,’ the Columbian says, ‘because now it’s become a big part of Gloria.’
On how her culture influences her body image: ’In Latin America we do learn to be more comfortable with our bodies,’ the mother-of-one says. ’Women are not shy to be in a bathing suit, in a G-string. But I also did a TV commercial for Pepsi when I was 17 on the beach in a bathing suit. And after that, everybody was like: ‘Oh my God, that body.’ And you know, you start to feel a little bit more confident if you have people thinking that you’re so fabulous!’
On not afraid of being stereotyped as a voluptuous Latina: ’I don’t mind it,’ she says. ‘I mean it is the reality. I am a Latin woman; I’m voluptuous, I’m loud, I’m exactly what a Latin woman is.’
On staying healthy: ’I don’t smoke. I’ve never done drugs,’ she says. ’I think the most unhealthy thing is that I’m obsessed with dessert. And it’s very hard for me not to eat it at least once a day.’
On not working out as hard as she could: ’I hired Gunnar Peterson, which is really fun,’ she says of the man who has sculpted the bodies of Jennifer Lopez and Penelope Cruz. ’Because I mean, if I go alone, I’ll sabotage myself. I’ll do half of the workout. So I need somebody to force me to do it… Oh, the whole time I cry. I get on the floor. I’m like: ‘I’m gonna throw up, enough!’ I mean he doesn’t care.’
On her opinion of plastic surgery: ’I'm not against it at all,’ she says. ’But I think that you should go into it more thinking that you want to look beautiful than trying to look young.’
