“I don’t think I’ve ever done like, a sex scene,” Vergara said.
The 50-year-old Vergara noted that because of her mature age, she was concerned about how she would look on camera.
“I’m 50! I mean, when I was 30, I wouldn’t have worried. Think I was worried that I was going to look horrific,” she added. “I was like, ‘Where are they shooting me? The cellulite? From the side,’” she explained. “Uh, I’m vain I guess. That one kept me awake I think.”
