The Man With The World’s Biggest Penis Says His Size Has Been A Curse

Jonah Falcon’s super-sized fame brought attention, offers, and rejection all at once.

Jonah Falcon has a claim to fame that most men wouldn’t dare imagine. At 13.5 inches erect, he says he has the longest penis in the world — and he’s not shy about it. But while some would wear that like a crown, Falcon says it’s been more of a curse than a gift.

The 54-year-old New Yorker has been a podcast host, a TV guest, and a would-be actor, but his anatomy has overshadowed everything else. Instead of helping his career, he says his size has cost him roles and opportunities, reduced him to a headline, and turned his everyday life into a spectacle. In a recent interview with LADbible, Falcon opened up about the attention he gets, including from people at the top of the Hollywood food chain. 

“I’ve slept with celebrities including Oscar nominees and Oscar winners. But I can’t talk about that. 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. It wasn’t Meryl Streep – I’ll just leave it at that.”

Who Is Jonah Falcon?

Jonah Falcon grew up in Brooklyn and started to realize he was “different” when he hit puberty. According to a 2003 Rolling Stone profile titled “Mr. Big,” Falcon’s penis has always been a major part of his identity — and not necessarily in a good way. He’s been the subject of multiple documentaries and interviews, with his anatomy putting him in a strange spotlight.

Over the years, he’s become a minor celebrity because of the sheer size of it. He’s shared how strangers have approached him with curiosity, and how even basic tasks — like going through airport security — have turned into full-blown incidents. 

In July 2012, Falcon was stopped at San Francisco International Airport by TSA agents after they noticed a suspicious bulge in his trousers. He says that despite what many people might think, it hasn’t made life easier. The fascination with his penis has created more problems than perks.

Hollywood Isn’t Interested in What He’s Packing

Falcon has turned down offers from the adult entertainment industry for years. His dream? To be taken seriously as an actor — someone who can land roles in TV dramas and feature films. But according to him, that’s nearly impossible. He claims that casting directors often Google him before auditions. Once they see the headlines about his anatomy, the opportunities disappear. Instead of being seen as a performer, he’s seen as a novelty. Still, Falcon hasn’t shied away from all offers. 

He told Rolling Stone that he once accepted $500 from a woman who wanted photos of him in his underwear. Another paid $1,000 to sleep with him. While he doesn’t make a habit of it, he admits that the attention “feeds his ego.” During an interview with Mary Ellen Mark, he said: 

“Wearing tight pants is not just about getting attention. It’s about watching other people get obsessed with me. I’m a show-off. Look at people check me out. My bike pants are even more impressive. You should see me in my bike pants.”

A Museum Wants His Penis — Seriously

The Icelandic Phallological Museum, located in Reykjavik, is home to more than 300 penile specimens from over 93 different species — from a 2mm hamster member to a six-foot-long whale penis. But one thing they’re missing? A human penis of legendary size. 

That’s where Jonah Falcon comes in. The museum offered to preserve his famous member and add it to their collection after his death. And to the surprise of no one, Falcon said yes. In an interview with HuffPost, he explained: 

“I appreciate your museum’s devotion to science, and it would be an honor to have my manhood put on display, hopefully, nestled between the sexual appendages of a sperm whale and a polar bear … I hope I don’t make either of those creatures jealous.”

Bigger Isn’t Always Better

Despite all the fascination, Falcon insists that his life isn’t as enviable as people think. The fame that came with his penis has blocked career opportunities, turned him into a viral curiosity, and even made dating more complicated. 

He says most people are more interested in his anatomy than who he is. Instead of being seen as Jonah — an actor, a New Yorker, a human being — he’s turned into “that guy with the massive penis.”And while he admits to enjoying the occasional ego boost, Falcon says the public obsession can be exhausting. At the same time, he has leaned into the infamy when it suits him — appearing on podcasts, giving interviews, and hinting at high-profile hookups. In a world obsessed with size, Jonah Falcon is a living reminder that bigger doesn’t always mean better — but it definitely means more attention.
