Sofia Vergara is 45 years old, and she's embracing every bit of it. The Modern Family star is on the September cover of Women's Health, but the shocking part is that she's completely naked [1]. In the shoot, Sofia has no clothes on, except for a few where she's just wearing a black thong, and she has a smile from ear to ear. During her interview, Sofia spoke about aging, her workout routine, her work ethic, and one thing that her husband, Joe Manganiello, loved about her when they first started dating. The magazine hits stands on Aug. 8, but in the meantime, see Sofia in all of her glory.
On Aging and the Changing Representation of Women in Hollywood
- "Here's a woman, 45, being able to show her body. It's not like before, when it was just young girls who would make the cover of a magazine."
- "People say, 'Oh, you look like you're in your twenties.' Well, it's not true. Our skin is different. I had never thought of the word pore, then I'm like, 'Sh-t! What do I do with these?"
- "I'm 45. Even if you want to, at this time in your life, you can't be perfect. It's not that you hate it, or that you're upset about it, but it is our reality. We're changing. I see it happening to me. I want to look my age, but I want to look great. I think if you are obsessed with this 'I want to look younger' thing, you're going to go crazy.
On Trying to Stay in Shape
- "Joe built a very nice gym in the house, so I don't have any excuses."
- "It's like torture for me. I'm in a bad mood two hours before, I'm in a bad mood while I'm doing it, I'm in a bad mood at the end because I have to schedule the next class."
On One Thing Joe Loves About Her
- "One of the first things Joe told me when we started dating was, 'I like how you're always very well put together.' He said, 'I've had girlfriends that are all day long prancing around the house in sweats, no makeup…' I'm not saying that's bad; it's great. For good or worse, it's the way I grew up: Accept yourself but also be better than yourself."
On Her New Underwear Line, EBY
- "In countries where there is a lot of poverty, women are such an important force for the family. And sometimes they have to endure horrible things because they don't have the means to just pack up and leave. I want to give them something to be able to help themselves, to save some money, to be able to have more control of their lives," Sofia said because 10 percent of sales from EBY will go toward microfinancing loans for women looking to start small businesses.
- "I love underwear! I won't sell something I don't believe in. It has to be good, and it has to be something I really use."
