Martha Stewart responds to whether she would ever pose for Playboy after doing Sports Illustrated

Martha Stewart has responded to the question of if she would ever appear in Playboy.

The 81-year-old domestic goddess attracted headlines around the world when she revealed she would be on the cover of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit edition.

So, it begged the question of if she would ever model for any other big publisher.

During an interview with Variety, Stewart was asked if she would ever strut in her birthday suit for the iconic American masthead.

While the businesswoman doesn't mind baring a bit of skin, she finds the men's magazine 'improper'.

"I would never have done Playboy because I found that a very improper magazine because I was brought up a prude," she said.

"We were very conservative. When we changed our clothes, we closed the bedroom door. We were not overt – except my middle sister was overt."

Ah yes, it's always the middle child isn't it?

Her remarks come just after Stewart made history by being the oldest woman to appear on the cover of Sports Illustrated Swimsuit edition.

The chef wowed in a V-neck white bathing suit and a bright orange shawl, which sent the internet into a frenzy.

One user wrote: "Martha Stewart is 81 and slaying. She looks incredible."

Another said: "Martha Stewart in her GILF era is my absolute favorite thing right now."

A third shared: "80 year old president, 80 year old Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model, 80 year old new fathers, quite an interesting time we're living in."

While another marveled: "I been tryna tell y’all that Martha Stewart is the mf baddest. An ain’t no snitch b***h. took her sentence like a woman. An entrepreneur. A real mf G. We stan Martha!!!!!"

The TV personality revealed that she only had two months to prepare for her cover.

And in that time, Stewart did pilates three times a week, watched what she ate and stopped drinking alcohol.

"I had my regular facials but maybe more frequently and I also got a spray tan,” Stewart added.

“And I’m not a hairy person, but I got a complete body wax.”

But, as far as the naysayers go, Ms Stewart clapped back at claims that the photos were heavily retouched and that she's gone under the knife.

"I’ve had absolutely no plastic surgery whatsoever," she declared.

"I have very healthy, good hair. I drink green juice every day. I take my vitamins. I eat very healthfully. I have very good skin doctors. I’m very careful in the sun. I wear hats and I wear sunblock every single day."

Excuse me while I just restock on sunblock and kale.
