Sofia Vergara was desperate to undergo breast reduction surgery as a teen, because she thought her famous curves made her look like a "stripper".
The lovely Latina star of TV show Modern Family started busting out at the age of 13, and she begged her mum to let her go under the knife because she was so self-conscious.
Vergara tells America's Self magazine, "I wanted surgery. I told my mom, 'As soon as I'm older, please take these boobs away.' She said, 'Sofia, shut up.
"When you're 18, it will be different.' I was like, 'Why would I want these huge t**s? I'm a 34 DD. It's hard to dress. No matter what I wear, I look like a stripper."
But the Colombian beauty is thankful her conservative mother never agreed: "I'm grateful I have them, and honestly, they've helped me a lot in my career. And I've always felt sexy."
Vergara has mixed and matched movie and TV roles this year after working on show Modern Family before moving on to lend her voice to Happy Feet 2 in 3D, which is currently in post production.
She is now filming the big screen adaptation of The Smurfs.
