In a delightful birthday surprise for her husband, beloved country music icon Dolly Parton decided to recreate her iconic 1978 Playboy cover. The heartfelt gesture was for Carl Thomas Dean, whom she has been married to for 57 years. Donning the classic bunny ears, Dolly shared her playful spirit in an Instagram video, stating, “Remember when I said I would pose for Playboy at 75? Well, here I am at 75, but there’s no magazine anymore.” She captioned the post, “It’s always #HotGirlSummer for my husband, Carl,” explaining that since he has always cherished her original Playboy cover, she wanted to bring him joy with this nostalgic gift.
Dolly, the first country artist to grace the cover of Playboy, looked stunning in her new photoshoot. “He still thinks I’m a hot chick after 57 years, and I’m not going to convince him otherwise,” she joked, playfully asking viewers for their opinions. While Carl prefers to stay out of the spotlight, only the back of his head was visible in the video, but one could imagine the joy on his face upon receiving such a unique gift. The framed piece featured both her original cover and the fresh photograph side by side.
Reflecting on the differences between the two photos, Dolly quipped, “In the first one, I was kind of a little butterball. Well, now I’m string cheese. But he’ll probably think I’m cream cheese,” she said with a wink. Carl has often expressed his admiration for Dolly, sharing that his first impression of her in Nashville was, “I’m gonna marry that girl,” and he has cherished her ever since.
In previous interviews, Dolly has shared her thoughts on the secret to their enduring marriage, often humorously stating, “Stay gone!” She emphasized the importance of appreciating the time they do spend together and the little things that keep their bond strong. “Happy birthday, my love!” she concluded the heartfelt video, reminding everyone of her status as a true icon.
