Famed actress Sofía Vergara has had a well-esteemed acting career. She has appeared in several hit productions, including Modern Family, Four Brothers, and Hot Pursuit.
But in 2024, Vergara had to step out of the box a little. She plays crime lord Griselda Blanco in the new Netflix series, Griselda.
Sofía Vergara Sounds off on ‘Griselda’ Sex Scene
In the series, Vergara had to execute a sex scene for the first time in her career. She noted that it was a decision that she lost sleep over.
“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.”
However, the actress gave a nod to “Griselda” director Andy Baiz for making sure that she felt comfortable.
“It’s really dark and Andy [Baiz], the director, is very artistic and he made me feel super comfortable,” Vergara said. “And he’s like, ‘We’re never going to stay like a long time on you [the camera].'”
Vergara Gets Candid About Recent Divorce
Sofía Vergara divorced her now ex-husband, Joe Manganiello, in 2023.
The couple were married for seven years. Vergara and Manganiello finalized their divorce in July. But for the first time, the famed actress is speaking out about the split. She told Anna Rumer of PopCulture.com that the main reason for the split was that Manganiello wanted to have kids. She did not.
“My marriage broke up because my husband was younger; he wanted to have kids and I didn’t want to be an old mom,” Vergara told Rumer. “It’s not fair to the baby. I respect whoever does it, but that’s not for me anymore.
I had a son at 19, who is now 32, and I’m ready to be a grandmother, not a mother. So, if love comes along, he has to come with [his own] children. I’m almost in menopause; it’s the natural way of things.”
