The actress in a recent interview had revealed that her large breasts and shapely figure helped her in her career. “It would be unreasonable to deny it or make me feel bad about it,” Vergara told El País in January. “My big breasts and body opened doors for me. It was my passport to the world when I was 20 and started out as a model, but today I’m 51 and I’m still here.”.

And he added: “If you only see my breasts, then that’s your problem. There are women who are prettier, younger, who have bigger breasts and better bodies than me, but I’m still here because I’ve proven that I can stay.”Vergara said meaningfully.

Vergara’s latest post comes after she revealed last weekend that she is recovering from knee surgery.
