There was a certain point in time during her years in the business that she considered plastic surgery. Unlike most actresses, she planned to reduce the size of her chest, not enhance it.
Vergara struggles with a size 32F, which can be very uncomfortable for her, causing her back issues. She still may revisit the procedure, saying, “yeah, eventually, I’m going to have to have it done.”
Her On-Screen Son
On "Modern Family," Sofia’s character, Gloria, has a son named Manny. Played by actor Rico Rodriguez, he’s a theatre buff who, unlike his dad, doesn’t have very much luck with the ladies.
Rodriguez wrote a book that he released in 2012 called "Reel Life Lessons…So Far" – a fitting title for someone who just turned 22 earlier this year.
Her Sons, Manolo
On the show, her son’s name is Manny (Delgado), a nod to her actual son, Manolo’s, name. She and her ex had him when she was just 20-years old, just a couple of years after they’d originally tied the knot.
Apparently, she chose to name him after a character in 1983’s hit gangster film, "Scarface." It’s not that surprising; the film won several major awards, including three Golden Globes, one of which was for Best Supporting Actor for Steven Bauer’s role as Manny Ribera.
Her Sense of Style
Apparently, her wardrobe has a lot more effort behind it than meets the eye. Sure, she’s got a great sense of style, but according to the actress, there’s some kind of magic going on there.
In one interview, she claimed her dresses were works of art due to the one-of-a-kind body being concealed beneath them. She wasn’t the only one who considered having the breast reduction, as when she started to rise in fame on TV, a publicist in Hollywood actually recommended it to her.
An Award-Winning Actress
If you go to look for Sofia’s list of accolades, you’ll be scrolling for a while once you find it. She’s been nominated for dozens of awards throughout her career, as well as won several.
In four years on "Modern Family," she was nominated for four Golden Globes for Best Performance by an Actress in a Supporting Role in a Series, Miniseries, or Motion Picture. That’s one per each year of her outstanding work on the show. It’s especially impressive, considering the show was only nominated for 12 awards during its time on the air.
