Sofia Vergara Was Asked to Get a Breast Reduction Early in Her Acting Career

Blasphemy!

It’s hard to believe that anyone would find fault with Sofia Vergara’s gorgeous curves, but alas, when Vergara was an unknown fresh off the boat from Colombia, she was almost pressured into getting (gasp!) a breast reduction!

The Modern Family star and K Mart pitchwoman told Health Magazine, “When I moved to America, I was more voluptuous, and I felt a little different. My publicist [at the time] told me, ‘I think you should just reduce your boobs because nobody’s going to take you seriously here.’”

In fact, one major change that Sofia Vergara did make early in her career, that did not include going under the knife, was a change in hair color. Vergara once stated that she felt in order to make the leap from sexy model to actress she needed to dye her naturally blonde locks brown. Vergara once famously stated that as a blonde, casting directors didn’t know what to do with her because she came off “like a loud mouth Pamela Anderson;” too bodacious to be taken seriously and too outspoken to be deemed a barbie doll type ala Anderson.

We’re just happy Sofia chose brunette over breast reduction surgery, not just because we think she is stunning exactly the way she is, but because a breast reduction is major surgery and these decisions should definitely NOT be made by one’s publicist.

In fact, we love that Sofia Vergara now has a clothing line with K Mart, which is affordable, but also tailor made for a voluptuous woman’s curves.

Sofia goes on to tell Health Magazine, “Not everybody’s confident their whole life. For a long time, I thought that my boobs were too big. I was, like, 14 years old, and I already had these huge boobs. I was very skinny also. And now that I’m almost 40, we always have our insecurities as women. We’re never happy!”

Though in recent years Sofia Vergara has been able to embrace what makes her the Latin lovely that we all think she is. Vergara concluded in the December issue of Health, “I’m a Latin woman. I’m voluptuous, I’m loud, I’m exactly what a Latin woman is.”

Amen! And we also think Vergara’s major success with the hit sitcom Modern Family has had something to do with her newfound healthy self-esteem
