One theory could be that the breasts are named after the characters of a sketch on US comedy show Saturday Night Live. It started because I was from Germany, and people always make fun of ze Germans, yah? So when I began modeling I used to say, 'These are German breasts, one is called Hans and one is called Franz.''įranz (Beckenbauer, that is) is the one on the rightįrom the Fringe is just one of the many columns that believes there may be more to it that that. 'They've been an ongoing joke for, like, 12 years.

However, in this case, the dearth is not of cloth covering her modesty but the information she is offering on Hans and Franz.įor one, which is which? Does Hans sit at her right hand or the left? Also, from whom did the names originate? Are they named after ex-partners, family relatives or friends? What are their likes and dislikes? (This last one will surely turn up in forthcoming interviews with Heidi's husband, the singer Seal.)Īll the 33-year-old from Bergisch Gladbach near Cologne will say is that she gave her famous assets the stereotypically German names in homage to her homeland. While anyone who has seen her parading down a runway in the smallest of smalls will attest, this will come as no surprise. But, as with so many of her kind in the fashion world, she obviously believes that less is more. Heidi herself is unique among supermodels for her openness, down-to-earth quality and sense of humor.

And just like any new stars being embraced by the cult of celebrity, speculation about them is already rife on the international gossip pages. Now they are famous in the own right, people are clambering to know more and more about them. Hans and Franz have been stars of the Victoria's Secrets lingerie catwalk shows and adverts for the past ten years but until Heidi officially out-ed them as having names this week, they were more appreciated as just being part of the overall, highly aesthetic package. But after the German supermodel revealed her mammary monikers on Thursday, worldwide attention has been more concentrated on the 35-inch bust than usual.

However, despite one unexpected public appearance on the Jay Leno Show in the US when they broke free of an 5.9 million-euro ($8 million) diamond-encrusted bra, Heidi Klum's breasts are usually kept under wraps. As two of the more obvious assets of a world famous lingerie model, Hans and Franz should be more or less used to the eyes of the world being trained on them.
