Dolly Parton said that her breasts have not been insured for millions, in response to rumors.- Model Heidi Klum famously had her legs insured for $2 million by a client.
Dolly Parton said that her breasts were not insured for millions of dollars in a manner similar to Heidi Klum's client-insured $2 million legs.
"It's not true about that," Parton told Today's Hoda Kotb and Jenna Bush Hager after being asked if her most "famous
"Years ago, was it Betty Grable, or one of the great famous stars that was famous also for her legs?" Parton said. "And at that time I said, 'Well maybe I should get my boobs insured since I'm famous for them,' but it was just a joke. I didn't do that."
Parton has addressed rumors about herself and her body before, telling People in September 2020 how she responds to outlandish headlines about her breasts leaving her bedridden.
"It shows up about every three years in the tabloids, where I'm bedridden because my boobs are so heavy that I'm crippled for life on my back," Parton told People. "I just laugh. Well, they are heavy, but they haven't crippled me yet."
Klum, on the other hand, recently spoke with Ellen DeGeneres about her legs, which the model and host said had once been insured for $2 million by a client. Klum said that one of her legs was "more expensive" than the other, given that one of them had been marked by a childhood scar.
According to Parton though, there's one key difference between Klum's legs and her breasts.
"By the way, you can get new boobs, but you can't get new legs," Parton told Kotb and Hager.
