Sofía Vergara does not leave anyone indifferent. On Monday night she was interviewed in El Hormiguero and almost a week later she is still talking about her acid responses to Pablo Motos. With the intelligence of someone who knows himself well, with his defects and virtues, she is aware of the effect it causes and feels proud of it.
“I am grateful for life. These giant tits and this body opened all the doors for me, it was my passport to the world at 20 years old, when I started as a model, but today I am 51 years old and I am still in it,” she says this Sunday in a talk with El País, on the occasion of the promotion of her new series, Griselda (Netflix), where she plays the drug trafficker Griselda Blanco, head of a drug cartel in Miami, a work produced by the actress herself.
“Very young, since high school, all the boys wanted to be with me. Not that it made me feel better, but you realize that they treat you differently. From a very young age I know my strengths and I take advantage of them. But if you only see my boobs, then the problem is yours,” she adds.
“I’m not afraid of risk, I work like no one else, I have personality, I have always been vigilant about what was out there and I have not been afraid. There are women who are prettier, younger, with more tits and a bigger body than me, but I’m still in it because I’ve proven that I can stay. I don’t do neurosurgery, I only do entertainment, and the worst thing that can happen to me is that they say I look ugly or that this idiot doesn’t know how to act. “I can take it,” she adds about the reasons for her success and becoming one of the highest-paid performers for her role as Latina wife Gloria Pritchett on Modern Family.
At 51 years old, Vergara appears in the interview to be grateful for her professional success in a country that was not her own, and also for life. “I feel very complete. In my career I have done much more than I dreamed of. I never dreamed of being an actress. It was an accident. I have been presenting America’s Got Talent for four years, a show in which I have a lot of fun, I am presenting this series all over the world, I have my clothing and beauty brand. “It doesn’t even occur to me to complain about anything,” she says.
“I am a woman recently divorced from my second husband. [el también actor Joe Manganiello], with whom I was together for ten years. My marriage broke up because my husband was younger, he wanted to have children and I didn’t want to be an old mom. I feel like it’s not fair to the baby. I respect whoever does it, but that’s not for me anymore. I already had a son at 19, who is now 32, and I’m ready to be a grandmother, not a mother. So, if love presents itself, it has to come with children. I am almost through menopause, it is a natural law of life. When my son is a dad, let him bring the baby to me for a while and then I give it back to him and continue with my life, that’s what he does,” he explains about this new stage of his adulthood.
