Chrissy Teigen has always been an advocate for body positivity, but the model admits even she — like anybody — has some insecurities.
The 32-year-old revealed to Ellen DeGeneres on The Ellen Show this week that she has a problem with bare feet, particularly her own. Teigen pointed out her “horrible feet” on the show, laughing as the camera zoomed in.
“I have horrible feet – now you’re all gonna look at my feet,” Teigen said before crouching down and shielding her toes from a close-up.
“I have Asian jungle feet – we’re meant to climb trees,” she added.
Noticing the camera creeping up, Teigen dropped to her knees to cover tootsies. Returning to her seat, she explained her fear of flashing her feet is nothing new.
“I used to have it in my Sports Illustrated contract: no feet,” she said. “I would bury them in the sand.”
Teigen said her husband, John Legend, often jokes about her feet.
“John always says if I die … all he has to do in the morgue — instead of lifting up the sheet on the face — he’ll just do it the other way. He can tell by my feet,” she said.
Smiling, DeGeneres replied, “Aw, y’all are adorable.”
