Supermodel Christie Brinkley faced an unexpected — and hilarious — struggle live on The View this week when the show’s famous Hot Topics table became an unlikely enemy to her iconic legs!
The 70-year-old beauty, known for her timeless charm and supermodel figure, was a special guest on The View to talk about her career, her latest projects, and embracing life at any age. But just minutes after sitting down at the iconic round table, Christie realized there was a big problem: her long, legendary legs simply didn’t fit comfortably under the set’s unusually low table!
Laughing off the situation, Brinkley joked to the hosts, “My legs don’t fit!” as she attempted to shift and readjust her position on the chair. Cameras even caught her squirming a little, trying to find a way to tuck her legs without bumping the table. The moment had the hosts — and viewers at home — bursting into laughter.
“It’s the price you pay for having supermodel legs!” co-host Sara Haines joked, while Joy Behar quipped, “We usually don’t have this problem!”
Brinkley, ever the good sport, smiled through the awkwardness and kept the energy light. “I guess I’ll have to fold myself in half!” she said, pretending to contort herself to fit better.
The clip quickly went viral, with fans praising Christie for handling the situation like a true pro. Social media buzzed with comments like, “Only Christie Brinkley could make a live TV struggle look so glamorous!” and “Proof that she’s not just beautiful but hilarious too!”
Later, Christie shared a behind-the-scenes photo from the taping on Instagram, poking fun at the moment. “When your legs have a mind of their own at The View #HotTopics #LegroomDrama,” she captioned the post, receiving thousands of likes and comments from her fans.
Despite the tiny table mishap, Brinkley stole the show with her radiant energy and refreshing honesty about aging gracefully. “At 70, I just want to keep having fun,” she told the audience. “And sometimes that means laughing when things don’t go exactly as planned!”
Honestly, if a table can’t handle Christie Brinkley’s fabulous legs — that’s the table’s fault, not hers!
