Music legend Dolly Parton appeared on a recent episode of The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon to discuss her upcoming musical Dumplin’, but things quickly turned x-rated during the conversation.
When talking about actress Jennifer Aniston, who appears in the film, the 72-year-old singer let slip that her husband Carl Dean is a huge fan of the former Friends star.
Fallon asked the ‘I Will Always Love You’ singer if she’d known Aniston for a long time.
“You know, I love her to death. My husband is crazy about her,” she said. “He was more excited that I was going to do a movie with her than he was that I got the chance to write all this music.”
Parton had been asked to write several songs for the soundtrack of the new Netflix film about a plus-size teenager who is obsessed with Dolly Parton. The ‘9 to 5’ singer then shocked the talk show host, the live audience and millions of viewers at home with her next comments.
“I think he kind of fantasises like a threesome with us,” she said.
Fallon looked mortified as Parton and the live audience burst into laughter. The singer then continued with her story.
“No, He seriously does. He can’t even get it out to pee, much less get it out for three.”
At that point, Fallon fell off his chair as the ‘You’re The Only One’ songstress continued to laugh. She joked that her husband was going to kill her for saying that, before admitting that she really does love Aniston.
Fallon then took a moment to praise his very special guest and tell her how much she means to him.
“I’m happy that you’re here tonight and honoured that you’re here tonight,” he said. “I just love you so much and I can’t tell you to your face how nice you are in real life, in person, to everybody here in the crew and everything.
“You’re Dolly Parton. You can do whatever you want, but you’re so nice to everybody and you’re such a pro and we love you so much.”
Parton’s latest comments come just over a week after she revealed how she wanted to die.
Speaking to People magazine in a revealing interview, the Steel Magnolias actress said she hopes to die on stage mid-song in front of her adoring fans, doing exactly what she loves most.
“I just hope I fall dead in the middle of a song, hopefully one I wrote, right on stage. That’s the way I go!” she joked.
Parton has no plans to slow her career down now and never wants to retire, as she told the magazine the only thing that would ever make her take a step back from the limelight is if her loving husband ever needed her by his side.
“I am grateful that I am still here. So many people have more talent than I’ve ever dreamed of having that never get to see dreams come true,” she told the publication. “If my husband needed me, or someone in my family, I would put him first.
“I’ve always put myself first and my career first, but if something were to happen to him, I would pull back on that.”
