Has Wales's greatest export taken out a policy on his hairy chest?

Of course!
David Beckham's left foot; Heidi Klum's legs; Dolly Parton's, ahem, assets... Where, and indeed, who would these celebs be without their ultimate body part(s)? Not as rich or famous as they are with them, that's for sure!

So, the rumour that Tom has insured his chest rug for Dhs25 million comes as no surprise, considering the crooner has made a living out of the explosive 70s-style masculinity that comes from a well-thatched chest.

"Admittedly, this was one of the most obscure requests [we've] had," admitted a source at insurers, Lloyd's.

No way!
Certainly, the hairy chest is a big part of Tom's public persona, but with a voice as powerful as that - and even Elvis Presley enquired, "How the hell do you sing like that?" - the rug comes in at second place (hmm, maybe third if we factor in that famous man-fro). And as Tom doesn't look like he'll ever go bald - and hey, if the chest wig does start going grey, it's nothing an application of Just For Men won't solve - it looks like the rug is doing fine by itself, thank you very much.

"We assume this [rumour] is just a bit of fun," insists Tom's rep.
