Sofía Vergara is 51 years old and is done talking around the hard stuff, whether that be her blunt explanation about why her marriage to Joe Manganiello ended (he wanted a baby, she did not) or what she’ll do to slow down the appearance of aging (pretty much anything except filler).
In a new interview with Allure, published Tuesday, Vergara hyped up her lifelong fandom of sunscreen (she just launched her own) and her generally very positive feelings about cosmetic procedures.
“I feel like I’m going to do every plastic surgery that I can do when I’m ready,” she told the mag. “I wish I had more downtime; I would’ve done stuff already. [But] because I’m in front of the camera, it’s not like I can do something and then sit in my house recuperating for weeks.”
She revealed that she’s been getting Botox “for a long time” in her neck and around her eyes, but there’s one needle that she’s not inviting into her face.
“I don’t believe in filler,” she said. “I feel filler does good when you’re really young and you want a little bit more cheeks or to plump your lips a little bit. At my age—51—I feel it’s not going to make you look younger. It is going to make you look more done. And I feel like it actually doesn’t pull you up; it kind of weighs [you down]. So I am against that, once you hit a certain age.”
While the Modern Family alum credits her early success to her looks (“I don’t have this thing where I have to say that everything is because of my hard work. No, I had these huge tits that opened doors for me. I don’t feel bad for it. I took advantage,”), she’s worked hard in the decades since. “They keep coming more beautiful and more young than me, but I’ve been working already for 30-something years,” she said.
One thing that bothers Vergara is catching a glimpse of her younger herself on reruns of Modern Family when they air out of order. “They put one from the first season when I was 37 and then the one 10 years later right after. I’m like, ‘Fuck you!’”
“You can see the age,” she added. “I shouldn’t complain because I’m 51 and I’m still healthy, and I’m very active. I still look in the mirror and I see someone beautiful. But sometimes it’s like, ‘Who are you?’ I’m still happy with what it is. I just learn to accept it’s not me. It’s a new me.”
Vergara, who is no stranger to the ancient and noble art of the Instagram thirst trap, will turn 52 in July. And as she told People in May, she knows she’s aging, but she’s not drifting silently into the land of crow’s feet and age spots.
“I’m going to fight it every step of the way!” she said.
