    Frank Sinatra was very well-endowed, according to Paul Anka

    The 84-year-old singer has confirmed rumours that the iconic star - who died in May 1998, aged 82 - had a "huge" penis.


    Speaking to the New York Post newspaper's Page Six column, Paul shared: "Yeah, it was huge.

    "I don't know what that does for you!"

    Paul and Frank used to use saunas together, and he's now joked about the experience.

    Paul quipped: "I had trouble with eye contact."

    Despite this, Paul admitted that Sinatra didn't compare to Milton Berle, the actor and comedian who died in March 2022, aged 93.

    He said: "Crazy, of all people ... Milton Berle!"

    Meanwhile, George Clooney recently admitted that he felt proud to have been "yelled at" by Sinatra.

    The Jay Kelly actor knew a number of iconic stars thanks to his late aunt Rosemary Clooney - who died in 2002 - and he recalled the legendary crooner calling him to rant about a press freedom demonstration he had instigated.

    But rather than being upset by the confrontation with the late singer, George thought it was "great".

    He told People magazine: "I remember he was mad at me once because I led this boycott about ... some press freedoms, and he called me because people thought he was sick and there were helicopters flying over his [home], and he called me going, 'It's not working what you're doing!'

    "But he was great. I got yelled at by Frank Sinatra!"

    The 64-year-old actor worked as Rosemary's driver when he was trying to break into Hollywood and had a great time.

    He said: "I remember being on the road. I was my Aunt Rosemary's driver when she was singing.

    "And I hadn't known her much when I was young because I lived in Kentucky. She was the Hollywood aunt. So I came out to make a living and I was her driver. And I got to drive [her] and Tony Bennett, and all of these really wonderful singers around for a year.

    "I got a really good life lesson in success and failure, and handling it. And I always remember that I felt very lucky that I got that lesson early in time."
