he’s considered one of the sexiest women in the world, famous for her enviable hourglass figure, but actress Sofia Vergara has admitted she finds working out “torture” as her “gigantic boobs” get in the way, and will never have abs as it’s “too much effort.”

The star posed naked for a magazine photo shoot and also opened up about ageing, revealing that she’s made peace with never having a “perfect” figure.”

Sofia said: “I’m 45. Even if you want to, at this time in your life you can’t be perfect. It’s not that you hate it, or that you’re upset about it, but it is our reality.”

EMBRACING CHANGE

She added: “We’re changing. I see it happening to me. I want to look my age, but I want to look great. I think if you are obsessed with this “I want to look younger” thing, you’re going to go crazy.”

Colombian-born Sofia married star Joe Manganiell­o, 40, in 2015, and is mum to son Manolo, 24, from her short-lived marriage to her high school sweetheart. Sofia was also embroiled in a bitter court battle with ex-fiancé Nick Loeb in a bid to stop him gaining the right to use frozen pre-embryos the couple created while still together in 2013.

The star admits it’s tough maintainin­g her age-defying figure, working out four times a week with a personal trainer, and says she has no excuses to avoid exercise after fitness fan Joe built a gym in their LA home.

Sofia said: “I’m in a bad mood two hours before, I’m in a bad mood while I’m doing it, I’m in a bad mood at the end because I have to schedule the next class.

“I wish I could be a little more athletic, but when you’re born with these gigantic boobs… I’ve had them since I was 13, and then they got bigger when I was pregnant.”

RISE TO FAME

She added: “I don’t have abs because I’m not ‘I need to be like a fit model with a perfect body.’ That would take too much effort!”

After making a name for herself as a model in her native Colombia at just 17, Sofia rose to global stardom in 2009 when she was cast in hit sitcom

as Gloria DelgadoPri­tchett where she’s the top earning actress on US television, raking in £32m last year.

Sofia previously said: “I work out because of my job and because I’m in a place where I have to look good and fit into those tiny little dresses on the red carpet. I try to eat healthily when I go out for dinner. I order chicken or fish with vegetables. I don’t order pizza or pasta but I stuff myself with dessert.”

She added: “My beauty regime has definitely changed since turning 40, too. I use suntan lotion whenever I go out. Once you have a sagging neck, that’s it!”
