Heidi Klum Says She Has ‘Hairs Growing Out of Various Places,’ Including ‘a Boob Hair’: ‘It’s as Long as My Pinky Finger’

Heidi Klum is keeping it real.

The supermodel and businesswoman, 51, spoke with Real Simple for a recent interview, where she opened up about her body hair — and the odd places she has it.

“I have a chin hair and I have a boob hair. I would say it’s as long as my pinky finger,” Klum told the publication.

“It’s like, ‘Where are you coming from all of a sudden, you were not there yesterday,’ ” she continued of the hair on her boob, adding that her chin hair “is hard” and will “[hang] on for dear life.”

“If I come with a tweezer, when I pull it out, it’s a whole tree trunk,” Klum further explained of the pesky hair follicle.

Continuing to speak candidly with Real Simple about personal grooming and her own self-image, Klum explained that her confidence was handed down to her by an important family member.

“My mom said you have to be happy with the person you see in the mirror — you live your life with you, and if you’re not happy with you, it’s hard to be happy with anything that’s happening outside of you,” she said.

The mother of four added that she believes “confidence gets better with age,” explaining, “I just did a campaign with my mom — she’s 81. I look at her, and I’m like, ‘Dang it, I hope I’m going to look like this at 80.’ ”

Klum also detailed that she is “not very critical on myself,” and she believes having an optimistic outlook plays a large role in living a good life.

“I try to be positive, and I’m thankful for every day that I have,” said the star, who is soon returning to Project Runway after stepping away from the hit franchise in 2018.
