Fingers, legs, buttocks!? Weirdest celebrity insurances
Among western celebrities, getting their
body parts insured is a common trend,
though no one has officially patented any
mannerism or trait. Film stars, singers and
sportspersons invest huge sums of money
to get body parts insured because it is
considered an additional risk management
measure. Lloyd’s of London is the
insurance firm that does most such jobs
for Hollywood celebs, often insuring stars
from head to toe. Many stars go for the
weirdest insurances — from breasts,
fingers and waists to moustache, chest hair
and even taste buds and smile.
