Country star Keith Urban talks about posing for Playgirl early in his career in a recent podcast episode

In 2001, Keith Urban was willing to “do anything” to launch his career, including posing for Playgirl.

On a recent episode of SiriusXM’s “Literally! With Rob Low,” Urban explained that a guy at his record label presented him with the idea over two decades ago and he decided to take it on. .

“It was a guy from my record company who said, ‘Hey, you know, we can do this article in Playgirl, and they’ll do a big, long, beautiful song on the record.’ And I was like, ‘Great,’ and then we’ll go to a photoshoot too,” Urban told Lowe. “I was like, ‘Oh, okay.’ Fortunately, I play guitar and not harmonica.”

“It was serendipitous,” Lowe replied. “So you at least knew by the time you got to the photoshoot what you were…”

Elsewhere in the podcast, Urban and Lowe talked about the country music star’s famous marriage to Nicole Kidman. Urban admitted that while many of his songs are about his wife, not all of them are.

“I always think of someone who has a famous partner or who writes about relationships. Do you ever find yourself thinking, ‘Oh, it’s about Nicole.’ You know what I mean? Have you ever had that?’” Lowe asked.

“I mean, has it ever become an issue where people are like, ‘If you’re writing something, you’re writing a character where you know, I don’t know, things aren’t going well.’ Then you’re like, ‘People are going to think it’s about me and Nicole.’ Does that ever enter your consciousness?

“Oh, yeah. Yeah. People think everything I write is about her and, of course, you know, a lot of things are and a lot of things aren’t,” Urban responded. “I mean, you know, I’ve lived a life. I’ve had other experiences, and, also, it doesn’t always have to be a personal experience either.

“That might be an observation. You know, I recorded this song called ‘Brown Eyed Baby,’ and X amount of people said to me, ‘Well, you can’t sing a song about a girl with brown eyes. I mean, she’s She has blue eyes She must have been so angry,” and I’m like, “Not really.”
