10 Shocking facts about Sofia Vergara (With Pictures)

3. She watched Ed O’Neill growing up

Nowadays, Sofia Vergara probably knows Ed O’Neill as well as she knows her own family – after all, she’s with him constantly when they’re filming scenes together for Modern Family, considering he plays her on-screen husband. However, you may be surprised to know that the Modern Family set wasn’t the first time she saw Ed O’Neill – she actually grew up in Colombia watching him on Married…With Children. Who would have thought that she’d go from watching Katey Sagal, his on-screen wife, to becoming his next on-screen wife! The best part of the funny coincidence is that, thanks to the Spanish dubbing that they did for Colombian audiences, she initially thought that O’Neill actually spoke Spanish when they first met.
