Sofía Vergaraain’t holding back when it comes to discussing her Hollywood struggles. TheModern Familystar recently opened up about how her Colombian accent’s been a career stumbling block, especially compared to other Latina stars likeJennifer LopezandEva Longoria, who don’t face the same issues. In an interview with LA Times (viaBuzzFeed News), she asserted:
Eva Longoria doesn’t have an accent. Jennifer Lopez doesn’t have an accent. Is it frustrating? Of course. In the beginning, more than now. And the frustration was towards me. How come I can’t get this right? I’ve been here for 30 years. How dumb can I be? I have to fight in English… act in English. It’s exhausting.
Even with all the spotlight on her accent, Vergara’s always rocked it proudly, turning it into a signature part of her iconic role as Gloria Pritchett. She’s been open about her frustration with the industry’s obsession with accents and how her attempts to tweak hers didn’t quite hit the mark. The 52-year-old threw down serious cash and spent countless hours working with coaches, but couldn’t quite lose that signature Colombian twang.

Sofia Vergara’s throwing it out there:A Modern Familyreboot is what she wants. And she’s even got a running joke with her co-star,Ed O’Neill, to make sure it happens. The Colombian-born actress toldVarietythat she’d love to return to the beloved sitcom, suggesting a one-off TV movie as the perfect format. She asserted:
I’d die to be on that set, It’d be so much fun. A TV movie maybe?
