Chrissy Teigen on Ellen

Chrissy Teigen has always been an advocate for body positivity, but the model admits even she โ€” like anybody โ€” 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 โ€œhorrible feetโ€ on the show, laughing as the camera zoomed in.

โ€œI have horrible feet โ€“ now youโ€™re all gonna look at my feet,โ€ Teigen said before crouching down and shielding her toes from a close-up.

โ€œI have Asian jungle feet โ€“ weโ€™re meant to climb trees,โ€ 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.

โ€œI used to have it in my Sports Illustrated contract: no feet,โ€ she said. โ€œI would bury them in the sand.โ€

Teigen said her husband, John Legend, often jokes about her feet.

โ€œJohn always says if I die โ€ฆ all he has to do in the morgue โ€” instead of lifting up the sheet on the face โ€” heโ€™ll just do it the other way. He can tell by my feet,โ€ she said.

Smiling, DeGeneres replied, โ€œAw, yโ€™all are adorable.โ€
