World's Biggest Penis: Catching Up With Jonah Falcon

By Buck Wolf, About.com Guide

A profile of Jonah Falcon in Rolling Stone which opens with an elaborate account of what it was like to be a ten-year-old boy with an 8-inch protuberance while changing in the locker room for gym class.

But that same article also suggested that Falcon started a rumor that his father was John Holmes, the porn star portrayed by Val Kilmer in Wonderland and the inspiration for Boggie Nights.

"I wasn't the one who started that," he says. "It's just a rumor that's been attributed to me."

The truth is, Falcon's father died when he was just a boy. He and his mother spent many years living with cousins in New York City, where he graduated in 1988 from the Bronx High School of Science.
