Dolly Parton shared a video showcasing a personal gift to husband Carl Thomas Dean for his 79th birthday.
Parton, 75, decided to recreate her Playboy cover shoot from 1978 and frame the two images for husband Dean in a video on July 20th shared to Twitter. In the clip, Dolly Parton wore the signature one-piece bunny suit with ears and said:
"My husband always loved the original cover of Playboy, so I was trying to think of something to do that would make him happy. He still thinks I'm a hot chick after fifty-seven years and I'm not gonna try to talk him out of that. And I hope he agrees."
The longtime country singer-songwriter and humanitarian then presented the recreated cover gift to husband Carl Thomas Dean in their home. Dolly Parton stated that this was the next best step since Playboy ceased its magazine publications in 2020.
