Sofía Vergara just turned 45 and is happy with the way she’s aging, which is why she’s baring it all on the cover of Women’s Health. The sexy Colombian says that it’s empowering to be naked on the cover of a magazine because years ago the only ones that made it on the cover of magazines were young women.
“Here’s a woman, 45, being able to show her body,” she points out. “It’s not like before when it was just young girls who would make the cover of a magazine.” More and more women are leading healthier lifestyles and she’s someone that many women look up to because she’s not afraid of celebrating her age.
“I’m 45. Even if you want to, at this time in your life, you can’t be perfect,” she explains. “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.”
Many women are afraid of telling people how old they are, but growing older is just part of life and it’s great that Vergara is embracing aging. “People say, ‘Oh, you look like you’re in your 20s.’ Well, it’s not true,” she adds. “Our skin is different. I had never thought of the word pore, then I’m like, ‘Sh**! What do I do with these?'”
Some people may say that Vergara has been blessed with large breasts, but it’s something that is difficult to work with because clothes don’t always fit perfectly. “I can barely cover my boobs with two arms — I’m a 32-triple-D!” she says when noting why most nude magazine poses won’t work for her. “My boobs are real, and I had a baby. If I grab them, I can’t even cover the nipple!”
Vergara works hard on her body, even though she’s not a fan of working out and she loves cake, she knows that she will never have a six-pack and she’s o.k. with that. “It’s not about having muscle or cut abs. I don’t have abs because I’m not ‘I need to be like a fit model with a perfect body.’ That would take too much effort!” She admits that exercising is “torture” and that it puts her in a bad mood two hours before and while doing it! We feel you Sofía!
