Recently, Gayle King opened up about her excitement over being on the cover of Sports Illustrated Swimsuit.
King said, “Talk about stepping outside of your box. Honest to God, when they called me, I thought I was being punked. I did. I thought I was being punked.”
She continued, “I’ve had so many women come up to me and say, that was so brave. Was it brave? I was just excited. That’s what it was for me. To show you that it’s 69 and feeling really fine.”
She added, “It wasn’t something I dreamed about, but it was one of the highlights of all the things I’ve done because I never thought this would be possible.”
