Modern Family star Sofia Vergara is comfortable with the way she looks, especially now that she stars in the hit ABC comedy. In an interview with Health magazine, the 39-year-old Colombian actress says that after she arrived to America, she had a publicist who encouraged her to get a breast reduction. She recalls the publicist telling her, “I think you should just reduce your boobs because nobody’s going to take you seriously here.”

Vergara says her mother was dead set against her undergoing such a procedure. She says she’s glad she didn’t go through with it, because her figure has “become a big part” of her Modern Family character, Gloria.
