Paul Anka has finally addressed those rumors about Frank Sinatra.
Frank Sinatra was the voice of a generation, best known for songs like 'My Way', 'That's Life', 'Fly Me To the Moon', and Christmas classic 'Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!'.
But apparently, he wasn't just known for his musical talents, but for something in a different department too — the trouser department.
Sinatra's ex wife Ava Gardner once quipped that the singer had a '19-pound c*ck', per Vanity Fair. The famous pair were married between 1951 to 1957.

It's never been confirmed if Sinatra was that well endowed or not, until now.
His close pal Paul Anka, 84, recently chatted to Page Six and answered the question everybody's been wanting to know.
"Yeah, it was huge," he said of Sinatra's manhood.
He added while laughing: "I don’t know what that does for you!"
As to how he knew that the singer was packing in the downstairs department, apparently the pair of them used to hit the saunas together with their other famous friends Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr., Peter Lawford, and Joey Bishop (best known as The Rat Pack).
"I had trouble with eye contact," Anka quipped, referring to Sinatra’s penis.
Sinatra lived until the age of 82 and passed away in May 1998 at the Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, California. His cause of death was a heart attack.
Gardner isn't the only one to shed intimate details about her Sinatra. Barbara Marx, his fourth and final wife, did so too.
While she didn't speak about his penis size specifically, Marx did hail Sinatra as a 'great lover'.
She penned in her memoir Lady Blue Eyes: My Life With Frank Sinatra (via US Weekly): "Frank attracted women. He couldn’t help it. Just to look at him — the way he moved, and how he behaved — was to know that he was a great lover and true gentleman.
"He adored the company of women and knew how to treat them," Marx added.
And Sinatra wasn't just reportedly generous in the bedroom but in day-to-day life too. Speaking to The New York Times Magazine in 2011, Marx recalled the gifts she received from her late husband.
"He wanted me to tell him what I would like for my birthday, and I finally saw that [Rolls-Royce Corniche]," she shared. "I called him, and I said, 'I figured out what I want for my birthday,' never dreaming he’d get it. By the time I got home, it was in the driveway."
