Julian Temple claims Mick Jagger had bees sting his penis

Filmmaker Julian Temple has told BBC Radio that Mick Jagger underwent an Amazonian ritual involving stinging bees while filming Fitzcarraldo in 1981.

Filmmaker Julian Temple has claimed on BBC Radio that Mick Jagger once went through some Amazonian marriage ritual type thing designed to enlarge his manhood. Temple claimed the Rolling Stone was going a bit crazy in South America back in 1981 whilst filming scenes for the movie 'Fitzcarraldo', and agreed to the treatment, in which bees were encouraged to sting the singer's penis.

Temple says: "It involved putting bamboo over the male member and filling it with stinger bees so the member attained the size of the bamboo. Mick spent months in the jungle in Peru. He was going mad out there I think".

Seems a bit extreme. But then former squeeze Janice Dickinson claimed in an interview with J-Ross last week that Jagger has "a very small penis". So perhaps desperate times required desperate measures. Not that I'm saying size matters, or anything. Ahem.
