Is Dolly Parton going to ring in her 75th birthday with another Playboy photo shoot?
The country music icon teased the possibility again in a radio interview with the BBC on Saturday, saying she might pose for the outlet to honor her milestone birthday in January.
Parton became the first country singer to pose for Playboy when she appeared in the iconic Playboy bunny outfit, ears and bow tie on the October 1978 cover when she was 32. Parton previously spoke about wanting to pose again for the outlet, which went completely digital in March, in an interview with 60 Minutes Australia earlier this year.
When asked by the BBC if it’s true she’ll pose again for Playboy, Parton said it’s a possibility.
“Well, there’s some truth in that,” she said. “I just might do it. If I can do it in good taste, and they (Playboy) want it, I will do it, along with a really good interview inside. So, yeah, it’s possible. Yep, we’ve talked about it, let’s put it that way.”
In her 60 Minutes interview in March, which published weeks before Playboy announced it would suspend production of its print edition amid the coronavirus pandemic, Parton spoke about wanting to grace the magazine’s cover again.
“I thought it would be such a hoot if they’ll go for it – I don’t know if they will – if I could be on the cover again when I’m 75,” she said, noting she could “probably” still wear her original outfit from the 1978 photo shoot.

Parton brought up her original Playboy photo shoot earlier this year, when she sparked what became known as the “Dolly Parton challenge”: Social media users would post four contrasting photos of themselves that would be appropriate profile photos for four different social media platforms: LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram and Tinder.Â
