Sofia Vergara looks forward to 40

“I have a voluptuous figure,and I like to laugh a lot,this is who I am. But it’s great to still be thought of as sexy,especially now that I’m nearly 40. I don’t want to look super skinny and I think since I’m nearly 40 now,I’m glad I have a few extra pounds because otherwise your face has more lines”,said Vergara.

However,life has not always been so rosy for the ‘Modern Family’ beauty – and she admits being diagnosed with thyroid cancer in 2000 has made her appreciate the good things that happen to her.

“You work hard,you live a healthy lifestyle and then you get the news you have cancer. Thank God I had the kind of cancer that is much more easily treated than other terrible cancers. But it was still a shock. The good thing is that an experience like that makes you realise what is important in life”,she said.
