Sofia Vergara: 5 Things You Need to Know About the Modern Family Star

Hey there, TV fans — I'm Jager Weatherby with Wetpaint Entertainment. We honestly couldn't love Modern Family star Sofia Vergara more than we already do. Not only is she smoking hot, her comic timing is sizzling too. We can't fill you in on everything there is to know about the Colombian beauty, but here are five things you should know.

One: She's a natural blond. Sofia's actually fair-haired, but producers often ask her to dye her hair dark brown to look more like Americans' idea of a Latina. She rocks those glossy dark locks pretty hard, so it doesn't seem like that big of a loss.

Two: She and Pepsi go way back. Sofia starred in a buzzworthy Superbowl commercial for Pepsi this year alongside soccer star David Beckham. But it wasn't the first time she's donned a bikini on their behalf. She starred in a Latin American Pepsi commercial back before she arrived on U.S. shores. It involved hot sand, a skimpy bikini, and a crowd-pleasing way of avoiding burned toes. For some reason no one ever casts Sofia as a wallflower.

Three: She's a hot mama. Just like her Modern Family character Gloria, Sofia is a doting single mom to her 18-year-old son Manolo. We bet all his friends like to hang out at his house when mom's home.

Four: She attracts fancy boyfriends. As you'd expect from looking at her, Sofia can afford to pick and choose who squires her around — she's dated Enrique Iglesias, and her rumoured paramours include Tom Cruise, A-Rod, and Penelope Cruz's brother, who's several years her junior. Her current boyfriend, Nick Loeb, is a Florida businessman and politician — not quite as flashy as some of her former boyfriends, but at least he's not A-Rod!

Five: She's a desperate housewife. Native Colombian Sofia played the role of suicidal homemaker Alicia Oviedo, on Colombia's version of Desperate Housewives, Amas de Casa Desesperadas. If they ever make a Colombian version of Modern Family, Sofia can play — you guessed it — Gloria. It'll be a bit of a stretch, but we think she can handle it.

Nothing but propaganda, this woman is not a natural blonde, she had brown hair before, that is not blonde!..She is also plastic like the rest of Hollyweird and there is better looking Latinas than her, give her 5 years and her time is up. Sofia is trying to be the next Salma Hayek and I am tired of both of them already. She is also going around trying to pump Colombia by putting other Latin countries down, she is a racist!
