Heidi Klum has finally put an end to the old rumor that she used to carry around a bag of her own teeth at all times.

The German supermodel, 48, is known for her candor, recently revealing that her legs were once insured by a client for $2 million, and why one of her legs was considered "more expensive than the other".

Appearing on the I've Got News For You podcast, the model was asked if there is any truth to the rumor.

"I used to, yes," Klum revealed. "Basically all of my teeth that I’ve lost, my mom kept them."

What's more, the model said there were actually a lot of teeth inside the bag.

"I had the wisdom teeth taken out and then I had an overbite, so I had even more teeth that had to come out," she said. "I had too many teeth and they're also big, so I could never really fully close my mouth when I was young, so I had two removed and then they pushed them back."

Klum's mom then put the teeth in a pouch, which the model kept as a good-luck charm.

"When I was young and I was traveling everywhere and I was always by myself because when you're a model you go from one job to the next so it's just your suitcase and your little handbag and that’s it and then you hop around all on your own.

"For me, this was kind of like my good luck charm," she said, adding: "I don't know why, it’s just something that I did."

Klum doesn't carry the teeth with her anymore, in fact, she's not even sure where the pouch is these days.

"It was kind of a weird, random thing that I did," she added. "I was young and did weird things like that, I guess."

It comes as Klum opened up about the bizarre insurance policy she has on her legs during an appearance on The Ellen Show.

Klum was asked about the price placed on her limbs during a segment called: "Heidi 'Blanking' Klum", saying that "one [leg] was more expensive than the other one," adding that "it's weird the things that some people do."

A prompter behind her read: "My legs were insured for $2m… another body part that should also be insured is …"

Klum then began by revealing that she thinks her breasts also deserve to be insured. The former Victoria's Secret model then went on to explain that she hadn’t been the one to take out the insurance policy on her lower limbs, as it had actually been a client.

"Also, I didn’t insure them, by the way, it was a client that insured them," the model clarified. "It wasn’t me."

Klum also revealed that one of her legs "was actually more expensive than the other" because of an injury she sustained when she was a child.

"One was actually more expensive than the other because when I was young, I fell into a glass and I have, like, a big scar," Klum continued.

"Obviously I put so much spray tan on right now you can’t see it right now but yeah, one was more expensive than the other one. "It's weird the things some people do."
