It took a long time for Sofia Vergara to feel comfortable with her 34 DD cup size.
"When I moved to America, I was more voluptuous, and I felt a little different," the Modern Family star tells the December issue of Health (on sale November 18). "My publicist [at the time] told me, 'I think you should just reduce your boobs because nobody's going to take you seriously here."

Vergara, 39, says her mother "almost had a heart attack" when she considered getting a breast reduction.
"She was like, 'God is going to punish you! You can't cut your boobs!'" Vergara recalls. "I don't regret not doing it, because now it's become a big part of [my character on Modern Family]."

Still, the Colombian actress admits her body insecurities began long before she relocated to Hollywood.
"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," she explains. "And now that I'm almost 40, we always have our insecurities as women. We're never happy!"

Vergara -- who's been dating Florida politician Nick Loeb for nearly two years -- says she eventually came to appreciate her God-given body.
"I'm a Latin woman: I'm voluptuous, I'm loud, I'm exactly what a Latin woman is," she tells Health. "I prefer to be called that than, 'You're boring; you have a flat ass!'"
Tell Us What You Think
9I think reality personality Audrina Patridge's publicist told her the same thing only Audrina foolishly followed the publicist's advice. Now Audrina is flattened, sagging, and looking old before her time with absolutely no cleavage, high necklines, and baggy dresses to hide her missing bust. Sofia did the right thing. Audrina did not, she's now in dire need of some padded lift and support. Hey, Audrina there's a bra for that!
Sorry Sofia.. Latin women don't have ownership on voluptuous bodies or big mouths. Talk about something other than your tits now and then will ya?
If that publicist were male, I'd have told him to get a pecker enlargement. Glad she had enough self-esteem and self-respect to not cut herself up just to please somebody. Good for her.
stupid publicist. glad she kept her body and she wears clothes well. she looks more like an E (DDD) than DD.
She has GOT to be bigger than a DD.
Glad she got rid of the publicist and not the boobs. Shape and cleavage can create glamour. We expect stars to be more glamorous than average people. Voluptuous Sofia is amazing!
Gurgeous!
