Sofia Vergara Is Unrecognizable in Throwback Photo Taken in Colombia
Sofia Vergara has always had a little bit of sass — even when she was young.
On August 7, the Modern Family star shared a throwback photo from when she was growing up in Colombia. In the snap, which appears to have been taken at a dance recital, a school-aged Vergara — complete with blonde hair — struck a pose while wearing a sailor outfit.
Though it would be hard to tell it's her in the picture, there is something about Vergara's facial expression that is familiar.
The actress, who turned 53 in July, captioned the post with "Barranquilla," which is a city in her home country of Colombia. Many of her fans adored the photo and thought she looked so cute.
"Awww so precious," one person wrote.
"She'd be so proud of how successful you are today," someone else said.
"That cute little girl would go on to conquer the world!!" a third comment read.
"Hi Sofia God Bless You look so cute," a fourth Instagram user added.
Vegara was born and raised in Barranquilla. She had big dreams when she was young, but they didn't involve fame. Instead, as a teenager, Vergara wanted to be a dentist.
"I went to dental school but I didn't finish. I went for two years," she said on Harry Connick Jr.'s talk show in 2016.
As fate would have it, Vergara was approached by a photographer and ended up shooting a Pepsi commercial for Latin American markets in the early '90s, according to Biography. From there, she took on more opportunities, including acting on a Mexican telenovela, before moving to the United States.

Sophia Albarakbah exposes brutal online abuse
11 Aug - Enraged over the continuous harassment she received from netizens, Sophia Albarakbah finally revealed the reason why she decided to lodge a report to the police. Sharing several screenshots of sexual harassments and cyberbullying that she received over the course of the past week, the actress said that she has been receiving thousands of messages and comments, from harassment, slander, insult and even threats. "Some may think it's small but to me, these words cut deep. They hurt, they affect my emotions, and they damage my dignity as a woman and as a human being," she said. As for the screenshots, Sophia said that they were only a small part of it. "There are many more that are far worse. I'm not sharing to shame anyone, but to show the reality of what happens online. This is why I took action. Because silent doesn't change anything," she added. Sophia said that she decided to go to the police not to exact revenge but to protect her safety and dignity. "To everyone who has been through the same thing, you are not alone. And to those still spreading hate, remember that your words can leave scars that never heal," she added. (Photo Source: Sophia IG)

How to get My Chemical Romance tickets for 2026 UK tour
The iconic emo band are bringing their Long Live The Black Parade tour to UK shores. My Chemical Romance are bringing their Long Live The Black Parade tour to the UK, with the band confirming the first dates for the band's return. The iconic emo band are celebrating the upcoming 20th anniversary of their breakout hit album The Black Parade with a worldwide tour. The band are in the midst of touring in North America and have already announced tour dates for South America and South East Asia. Here is what MCR fans need to know about the band's return to the UK, their first tour dates in the country since 2022. How to get tickets to My Chemical Romance's 2026 UK tour My Chemical Romance have announced two dates so far for their UK tour, with the band set to perform at London's Wembley Stadium on Friday 10 July and Saturday 11 July, 2026. Tickets for the show will be available to purchase at 10am on Friday, 15 August on Ticketmaster, as well as on AXS and Gigs and Tours. There is not currently a pre-sale option for the tour, so fans of the band who wish to see the group will all have to try their luck on Friday. The two stadium dates are also the only UK tour dates the band has announced so far. The group had been teasing a UK tour announcement for some time, sharing a quirky video of an old school game show called Quizzo that declared the country that had won a "nuclear winter" was the UK. Wembley Stadium then teased the MCR logo and the 'Long Live The Black Parade' poster on Sunday, 10 August ahead of the official announcement on Monday. The teaser is very much in line with the band's tour, which has seen the band create their own language and lore around a fictional country that has served as inspiration for the Long Live the Black Parade tour and has given it a rock opera feel thus far. As part of the new tour the band are performing their breakout 2006 album The Black Parade in full as well as a number of rare songs from their back catalogue. My Chemical Romance last toured the UK in 2022 as part of their reunion tour, they performed in Milton Keynes, Cornwall, Dublin, Warrington, Cardiff and Glasgow at the time. It is currently unclear if more UK tour dates will be announced for 2026.
