Sofia Vergara Is Okay with Being Objectified: 'I've Got the Boobs of a Stripper'


According to Sofia Vergara, if you've got it, why not flaunt it?

"I've never understood why women get so offended [by being objectified]," the Modern Family star told Net-a-Porter's weekly digital magazine The Edit. "I just don't believe in all that drama, which is why I've made a joke out of it. I am secure enough not to take it all that seriously, and I like to laugh at myself."

She continued, "My husband [Joe Manganiello] was a male stripper in Magic Mike XXL – do you think he was offended?"

In fact, Vergara, 43, said she'll be sad the day the wolf whistles stop because she's very anxious about ageing – especially on screen.

"Watching myself age on screen is awful! There is nothing more disturbing than watching an episode of Modern Family from the first season, then one from seven years later," she said. "I'm already sad that men have started calling me 'Señorita.'"

Although Vergara is not looking forward growing old, she is ready to handle all of the changes her body will go through. The Colombian actress said that she'll probably have to get breast reduction surgery because she's "got the boobs of a stripper" and will start experiencing back pain as she ages.

"I wouldn't make them too small – just enough that I don't end up looking like an older stripper," says Vergara.

And ageing is also a factor in plans for children for Vergara – who is already mom to 23-year-old Manolo – and 39-year-old Manganiello, whom she wed in November.

"I wouldn't mind another child," she says. "My husband is younger than me and he wants kids so we're trying to figure out what we're going to do. The idea of doing it all again doesn't scare me but, hey, it's not like it's going to happen naturally, is it?"

In the interview, the actress also shared her thoughts on diversity in Hollywood, saying she doesn't think she's one to complain.

"I mean, seriously, how dare I! Here I am on primetime television with this stupid accent, I can't trash anyone. It would be so ungrateful of me because, trust me, I've been treated like a queen," she said.

However, she concedes, "The problem is not the networks or directors; it's that there aren't enough writers creating things for Latinos. Once we have more Latinos writing, that's when things may really start to change," Vergara said.
