When it comes to bold claims, Jonah Falcon isn’t exactly shy. He’s made headlines for decades for one very specific reason — he’s known as the man with the “biggest penis in the world.” And according to him, that title has brought with it quite a bit of attention, including from some very famous people. Falcon insists that his unique anatomy has made him somewhat of a legend behind closed doors, claiming he’s had romantic encounters with Oscar-winning celebrities who were eager to experience what he jokingly refers to as his “Academy Award-sized wiener.”
Jonah Falcon says his story began when he was just 13 years old. At that age, most boys are awkwardly navigating puberty, but Falcon claims he had already reached a length of 9.5 inches. Word spread quickly among his classmates, and the shock surrounding his size turned him into a subject of fascination. By the time he reached college, those whispers of curiosity had grown into widespread buzz. According to Falcon, by the age of 25, he had already been on over 1,500 dates.
Though he had plenty of opportunities to join the adult entertainment industry, Falcon famously turned them down. However, that doesn’t mean he’s always steered clear of risqué situations. He’s admitted to accepting money in exchange for private photos, and on occasion, more intimate experiences. One woman paid $500 just to see him in his underwear. Another paid $1,000 for the full experience. In a past interview with Rolling Stone, Falcon candidly admitted, “It’s really about my ego. My ego is bigger than my sexuality.” Now 54 years old, Falcon claims that even today, his penis measures 9.5 inches when flaccid and 13.5 inches when erect — and, as he puts it, “thicker than my wrist.”
But not everyone is eager to get a glimpse. While some have gone out of their way — and paid quite a bit — for a peek, others have reacted with discomfort or surprise when spotting him in public. To keep things under wraps, Falcon often chooses to wear baggy or pleated pants. “Since my testicles are extremely large, I’m cognizant of prominent bulges,” he shared during a 2022 interview with the Daily Mail. “I tend to wear baggy or pleated pants to go ‘incognito.’”
His unusually large anatomy has brought its share of complications, especially when it comes to his personal relationships. The actor, who appeared in the documentary Private Dicks: Men Exposed, has openly discussed the changes in his body over the years. “For some reason, it’s gotten thicker to the point that I can’t receive oral sex,” he revealed. He also noted that intercourse has become more challenging, explaining, “It requires a very slow entry. And getting fully erect is harder now – I think it’s just age.”
Beyond the bedroom, Falcon’s size has caused problems in some unexpected places — like airport security. Trying to avoid unnecessary attention, he says he attempts to “ball it up a bit so it looks like a round mass” when going through airport scanners. But even that hasn’t always helped. At Los Angeles International Airport, he was once pulled aside by TSA agents who spotted what looked like a suspicious bulge in his pants. “I was recently stopped by the LAX airport security for a giant unexplained bulge in my pants caught by a scanner,” Falcon recalled. “They frisked me and confirmed I was ‘all natural.’ This is a normal occurrence with electric scanning devices though.”
In a 2021 appearance on This Morning, a popular ITV talk show in the UK, Falcon made a jaw-dropping statement that his erect penis is roughly the same size as an Oscar statuette. He also made a bold claim that several Oscar-nominated and Oscar-winning celebrities have been among his romantic partners. When asked to elaborate, Falcon remained vague. “I’ve slept with celebrities including Oscar nominees and Oscar winners. But I can’t talk about that,” he told hosts Phillip Schofield and Josie Gibson. “I can’t even say if it was men or women – it’s a very limited list so I don’t want to narrow it down too far.” He did, however, offer one clarification: “It wasn’t Meryl Streep – I’ll just leave it at that.”
Though he declined to name names, Falcon hinted that many of the celebrities he’s been involved with hail from the UK, and not all of them were from Hollywood. He also added that a few adult film stars have been part of his past. “Here’s the thing,” he said. “A large majority are just very well known, not necessarily Hollywood. As a matter of fact, a big chunk of them come from the British Isles.”
Despite the spectacle surrounding him, Falcon has maintained a consistent message over the years. For him, his size is a part of who he is — something that’s brought him attention, notoriety, and yes, even complications. He’s embraced the reality of being known for something so unusual, even if it means constantly managing public perception, awkward moments, and a romantic life that is anything but average. Whether you view his story with curiosity, skepticism, or awe, there’s no denying that Jonah Falcon has become a cultural phenomenon — one whose story continues to stretch the limits of public fascination.
