Tom Jones Insures Chest Hair for Seven Million Dollars
2/7/2008 By Dave Synyard



When it comes to insuring things most normal people go with life, home and car insurance. Hell, a little more ridiculous but still understandable is David Beckham’s $70 million feet and, sure, maybe even J-Lo’s million-dollar trunk. But it certainly is unusual when Sir Tom Jones goes and insures his chest hair for a whopping seven million dollars with Lloyd’s of London.

Jones’s management denied the story to UK tabloid the Mirror, and said that the “Sex Bomb” has been "working far too hard in the recording studio" for such trivial things, but clearly something has aroused some concern for the well-being of his curly chestnut brown locks.

"Admittedly, this is one of the most obscure requests I've had – but I still came up with a wording that addressed the need," admitted Lloyd’s of London underwriter John Thomas. The esteemed insurance company has also found itself a popular choice for celebrities, insuring other hot properties like Lopez’s aforementioned keister, Heidi Klum’s legs and Ugly Betty star America Ferrera’s mouth, which was backed up for about five million British pounds.
