Alert – Sofia Vergara, 51, reveals she was worried about her cellulite showing when she shot sex scene for Griselda and says ‘I’m vain I guess!’

Sofia Vergara has revealed she feared her cellulite showing when she shot her first ever sex-scene at age 50 for Netflix drama, Griselda,

The actress and entrepreneur, 51, who posed nude to promote her coffee range recently, said filming the love scene kept her up at night as she worried she would look ‘horrific.’

‘I’m 50! I mean, when I was 30, I wouldn’t have worried. I think I was worried that I was going to look horrific,’ she said of the bedroom romp with co-star Alberto Guerra, who played Griselda’s husband, Dario Sepulveda.

‘I was like, “Where are they shooting me? The cellulite? From the side?” Uh, I’m vain I guess,’ she admitted adding, ‘That one kept me awake I think.’

‘I don’t think I’ve ever done like a sex scene,’ she explained Sunday at a Netflix FYSEE in Los Angeles, when asked if there was ever a moment she felt she may be out of her depth, per the US Sun.

During 11 seasons of Modern Family, the actress said, ‘With Jay, I didn’t do anything,’ referencing the character played by co-star Ed O’Neill, 78.

 The influencer said she was pleased with the final product.

‘It came out good. It’s really dark and Andy (Andrés Baiz), the director, is very artistic and he made me feel super comfortable and he’s like, ‘We’re never going to stay like a long time on you [the camera].’ 

The America’s Got Talent judge put her vanity aside to represent the fierce Colombian drug lord who was prominent in the Miami underworld beginning in the 1970s through her death in 2012.

Vergara sat in a makeup chair for three hours each day to have prosthetics applied to alter her appearance.

‘I wanted her to look from that [1970s] era.’ the star said. ‘But also, she needed to be a [bit sexy]. She needed to have something because she had like three husbands. She could get the guys.’

‘The teeth were fake. The nose, like, I had plastic, from here [touching her chin] to here. Over my eyebrows,’ she demonstrated for the audience.

‘I would tape my boobs and my a**. And they didn’t jiggle the a**. And it was [hot] in Los Angeles. I was like dying,’ she said.

 Her efforts to make the appearance seem genuine came back to haunt her in a painful way. 

She decided to alter her posture by hunching over to play Griselda after watching how her aunt walked. 

‘The third month of doing that, I got up one morning and I couldn’t go to work,’ she revealed. ‘I herniated a disc.’

“At 51, you can not just walk around and put your body in a position [like that] for 16-hour days.

To make it to the end of the shoot, the Emmy nominee got injections from her doctor for the pain. 

‘I ruined my back, because I’m doing that. The doctors were like, “You’re crazy, you have to, at 51, like stretch and do things.”‘

Still, the actress enjoyed the experience and the opportunity of working with a Colombian director so much, she said she’d do it again, with a few changes.

‘I would not do the freaking prosthetics again.’ she stated.
