Sofia Vergara has made a name for herself as Modern Family’s gorgeous yet fiery Colombian Gloria, who is married to older man Jay.
There’s no denying that she is hot stuff – her shoot in the US edition of Harper’s Bazaar’s August issue proves that - but as she plays such a glamorous character, does she feel the pressure to look good all the time?
“No,” she tells the magazine. “I’m Latin; I do it no matter what. It’s automatic. I shower, do hair and makeup. For me, it’s like shaving. I don’t believe in a natural look. Lipstick brightens your face! Unless you’re Gisele Bündchen or 19, you need something.”
Her relationship has been of interest to the media after she and boyfriend Nick Loeb briefly split, only to get engaged shortly after. Describing her fiancé, she says: “He’s really handsome. He’s six foot four, and he has blue eyes and a lot of black hair. Or it used to be black. Now it’s got a lot of white in it. Nick says all the white hair came from me.”
She clearly loves being Gloria on the hit US comedy. “I don’t think there’s ever going to be a better part for me,” she says. “But I do think—and my son and boyfriend agree with me—that I could play a crazy psychopath. I’m not joking.”
