Paul Anka Reaffirms Sinatra "Well-Endowed" Anecdote on TMZ

He says he was echoing a decades-old line attributed to Ava Gardner during publicity for his HBO documentary.

Overview

  • During a TMZ Live interview, Harvey Levin asked Anka about "Sinatra's schlong," prompting Anka to restate his Page Six comment.
  • Anka said the Page Six exchange arose when he mentioned spending time with Sinatra in steam rooms.
  • He emphasized that his remark referenced an oft-cited Ava Gardner quote from the 1950s rather than offering new information.
  • Page Six posted video of reporter Nicki Gostin's chat with Anka, including her reply, "It just makes me happy hearing that."
  • The renewed chatter coincides with HBO's release of Paul Anka: His Way, as outlets like Stereogum and Complex recapped the exchange.
