The Oscar-nominated actress and Grammy-winning singer has revealed she's insured her mouth for a staggering $2 million.

Going along the same route as Cynthia with the ad campaign, Nick Cannon recently announced a $10 million policy on his testicles as part of a tongue-in-cheek collaboration.

Rs 16 Crore For A Smile? Why This Actress Got Her Mouth Insured
Last Updated: Actress Cynthia Erivo insured her mouth for Rs 16 crore! From her iconic smile to vocal power, here's why it's being called one of Hollywood's most precious smiles You've likely heard of health or travel insurance, but Oscar-nominated actress and singer Cynthia Erivo has taken it to a whole new level. She's insured her mouth for an eye-watering $2 million (approximately Rs 16.5 crore)! Now, what makes her mouth so valuable? The Face Of Listerine's 'Wash Your Mouth' Campaign Cynthia Erivo is currently the ambassador for Listerine's new 'Wash Your Mouth' campaign, and she takes oral hygiene seriously. She credits her distinctive smile and powerful voice as key components of her identity, both professionally and personally. She reportedly brushes and uses mouthwash religiously before stepping on stage, saying her oral care routine gives her confidence. But the insurance policy isn't just about her hygiene habits; it's about protecting her trademark gap-toothed smile and vocal power, which are central to her brand. The Celebrity Trend Of Insuring Body Parts While this might sound eccentric, Cynthia Erivo is far from the first celebrity to insure a body part. In fact, it's something of a trend in Hollywood: Clearly, when your body is part of your brand, insurers are willing to put a value on it, sometimes an enormous one. A Smile That's Making Headlines While it's unlikely Cynthia Erivo will ever need to make a claim, the move certainly grabs attention. With her dazzling voice and iconic smile, she now holds the unofficial title of Hollywood's 'most valuable smile." view comments First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

Cynthia Erivo's mouth insured for $2.6m, Entertainment News
Cynthia Erivo's mouth has been insured for US$2 million (S$2.6 million). The Wicked actress — who is known for her distinctive gap in her teeth — has partnered with Listerine on their new Wash Your Mouth campaign and as part of the initiative, the company have made the "bold move" to take out an insurance premium specifically for her "recognisable" mouth. Kamran Shahzad, US head of commercial, oral care at Kenvue, said: "We're ecstatic to collaborate with the iconic Cynthia Erivo to help consumers recognise the importance of mouthwash. "Our new Wash Your Mouth campaign seeks to educate consumers that while brushing and flossing start the oral care routine, Listerine mouthwash completes it. "Together with Cynthia, we're making a bold move to help protect one of the most recognisable mouths in Hollywood because we're confident that Listerine guarantees a healthier mouth." Cynthia has always taken care of her teeth and her oral hygiene routine is a key part of her preparations before going on stage for her concerts. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Cynthia Erivo (@cynthiaerivo) She told People magazine: "I'm the geeky kid who was like, 'I'm brushing my teeth.' I don't think mom ever had to fight me to brush my teeth... "Strangely enough, brushing my teeth and using mouthwash — Listerine specifically — for some reason, really opens me up. "It means that I can breathe really well. It's the last thing I do before I go on stage. I just want to make sure that I feel really fresh. It sort of gives me a restart before I go on and sing or speak. "I take good pride in [my mouth] because of my gap. I think what we tend to do is pick our outfits, put the make-up on or do our nails, which are wonderful, great ways to show who you are externally, but cleaning your mouth adds to that. It also adds to the confidence you might not even be able to see unless you smile." When it comes to other forms of self-care, the 38-year-old star undergoes lymphatic massage to reduce water retention and cupping to "get rid of any toxins". She said: "It's an arduous thing to do, but I love doing it because it always aids the end result, which is what you've seen when I'm in front of people singing or performing. "It all goes hand in hand. Everything adds to the next to make sure that all the parts make the whole, and I can actually be present and do the work the way I want to do it." [[nid:720774]]

Oscar-nominated actress insures her mouth for $2,000,000
Cynthia Erivo revealed her mouth has been insured for $2 million (around £1.55 million). As the face of Listerine's new Wash Your Mouth campaign, the Wicked star is the latest celebrity to lend some sparkle to a high-concept marketing stunt. But while the mouthwash brand insists the move highlights the importance of oral hygiene, it also places Erivo squarely in one of Hollywood's most surreal traditions: celebrities insuring their body parts for large sums of money. Erivo, known for her powerhouse vocals and signature gap-toothed smile, described mouth care as essential to her daily rituals: 'Brushing my teeth and using mouthwash- Listerine specifically – for some reason, really opens me up,' she told People. 'It gives me a restart before I go on and sing or speak.' For her, oral hygiene is less about vanity and more about confidence, readiness, and performance. It's the final step before stepping into the spotlight. But an enormous insurance policy on a mouth – even a famous one – inevitably invites comparison with some other examples of celebrities insuring body parts. Jennifer Lopez has long been the unofficial patron saint of celebrity insurance lore, with stories of her butt being insured for as much as $27 million (around £20.9 million) — a rumour she's repeatedly denied, though never quite erased. Kim Kardashian has reportedly done the same, with her backside allegedly covered for $21 million (approx. £16.2 million) at the insistence of then-husband Kanye West. Whether fact or myth, noone can quite say. Mariah Carey's reported $70 million (around £54.2 million) insurance policy – $35 million (approx. £27.1 million) each for her legs and vocal cords – emerged during her 2016 Sweet Sweet Fantasy tour, and while some outlets went as far as to suggest she had insured her voice for $1 billion (approx. £775 million), that figure seems more urban legend than reality. Supermodel Heidi Klum once revealed that her legs were insured for around £1.1 million (approx. $1.4 million) – though she noted one was valued less than the other due to a childhood scar. Gordon Ramsay is said to have insured his taste buds and tongue for $10 million (around £7.75 million). More Trending Even Nick Cannon recently joined the list, announcing a $10 million (approx. £7.75 million) policy on his testicles as part of a tongue-in-cheek ad campaign. Soccer legends Cristiano Ronaldo and David Beckham each had their legs insured for nine-figure sums – Ronaldo's for over €100 million (approx. £85 million) and Beckham's reportedly for $195 million (around £151 million), one of the largest sports-related policies ever recorded. America Ferrera's smile was insured for $10 million (approx. £7.75 million) by Aquafresh during a campaign. Some of these stories are undoubtedly exaggerated or outright invented. Still, the campaign knows exactly what it's doing. A million-dollar smile backed by a million-dollar policy guarantees headlines, whether or not anyone ever intends to file a claim. Got a story?
