A Hollywood star dropped a bombshell sex confession on the Kyle and Jackie O show this morning.

Henry Winkler — best known for his role as “Fonzie” on Happy Days — admitted to the Sydney radio hosts that he used to be a “selfish lover”.

“I came to realise in the beginning I was not a good lover … I was debonair, but not a great lover,” Winkler divulged.

The juicy confession comes in the lead up to the release of Winkler’s memoir, Being Henry: The Fonz … and Beyond.

“In the book, there is a young lady, as I was leaving her apartment, as I was walking out the door, she said, ‘You know, you are a selfish lover’.

“And I did not know what she meant at that time. It was like she was talking Greek.

“And I had to learn, I had to grow up, I had to become more generous in every way.”

Kyle and Jackie O were quick to ask how Winkler found out what the woman had meant, pointing out that a simple Google search wasn’t an option.

Winkler then explained that he “held a poll”, asking those around him what the term meant.

“Everyone had something different to say. One of them was in breakfast, ‘Was I generous in making breakfast for the family?’”

This left the Sydney radio hosts stunned.

“What? You don’t meet some woman then make breakfast for the family,” Kyle exclaimed, while Jackie O laughed.

Kyle then offered his own understanding of the phrase, saying that it likely meant that the woman didn’t have an orgasm.

“You couldn’t make the woman [bleeped], Fonzie?” Kyle asked candidly.

“This is a little embarrassing, not what I thought we would talk about, but it was true then,” Winkler replied, placing emphasis on “then”.

When asked how he managed to overcome this error, Winkler cheekily replied:

“Can I just say it was a lot of fun learning.”

The actor also discussed how he’d turned down the role of Danny Zuko in Grease — which was then filled by John Travolta — in an attempt to avoid type casting.

“At that time I didn’t understand the world very well, I thought I could beat type casting … It was too close to the Fonz,” he explained.

In fact, he felt so strongly on the matter than when he met his wife, Stacey, and her son, things got a little heated.

“I was a candle on this little four-year-old’s birthday cake before I met him. And he said ‘Hi Fonz’, and I said ‘My name is Henry, would you like it if I called you Ralph?’

“I was that crazy about type casting I was now arguing with a four-year-old.”

He added that the only regret he has about turning down the iconic Grease role is that he went home with a V8 juice, while “John Travolta went home and bought a plane”.

His memoir is set to be released on October 31, and will explore his childhood, struggle with dyslexia, and more.

“The umbrella for the autobiography is I lived who I thought I should be … and in my childhood I had to protect my little self, and I covered it in Chernobyl type cement. I had to jack hammer that cement so I could become who I am talking to you today,” he told Kyle and Jackie O.
