Biography of Frank Agnello
Early LifeFrank Agnello, the youngest member of the notorious Gotti clan, was born on April 12, 1990. He is the grandson of the well-known gangster John Gotti, who passed away in 2002.
Reality TV Fame
From 2004 to 2005, Agnello and his family participated in the reality show "Growing Up Gotti." The story of America's most famous mafia family received excellent ratings, with over 3 million viewers tuning in for the first season. The show's audience was enthralled by the real-time rivalry between the two brothers and the futile attempts of their mother, Victoria, to make them upstanding citizens.
Struggle with Weight
Despite his infamous heritage, Frank Agnello led a relatively normal childhood. He played football, basketball, enjoyed reading, and spent time with friends. Throughout his life, Frank struggled with excess weight. Before the filming of the reality show, he had to lose over 80 pounds. Agnello even wrote a book titled "How I Lost Weight and Improved My Physical Shape," in which he detailed his challenging childhood, constant teasing from classmates and older brothers, and the physical exercises and diet he followed to shed the extra pounds.
Music Career
After "Growing Up Gotti," Frank Agnello formed a music group called "Fab Faux" with his friends. The band gained notoriety for their unconventional cover versions of songs by the Beatles. Despite facing criticism from die-hard fans of the original Liverpool quartet, "Fab Faux" successfully toured and performed on platforms like CNN. They also made a significant contribution to popularizing the music of the Beatles and recently participated in recording a tribute album in their honor.
Controversial Incidents
On November 10, 2008, Frank Agnello's car was stopped by the California State Highway Patrol. During a search of the vehicle, marijuana and several oxycodone pills, often used as a recreational drug, were found in the car's cabin. Neither Frank nor his friends present in the car claimed ownership of the drugs. The group was arrested and taken to the nearest police station. The Agnello family's lawyer later stated that Frank was not involved in drugs as the substances were found in his female friend's bag, and he had no knowledge of them. Nevertheless, this incident caused a significant stir in America, and cunning reporters immediately speculated that John Gotti had found a worthy successor in his grandson.
