"Ronan Farrow has said that he is annoyed by widely published claims that Frank Sinatra may be his biological father. His mother Mia Farrow recently said in a Vanity Fairy interview that Sinatra could &amp;quot;possibly&amp;quot; be Ronan&amp;#039;s father, rather than her former partner Woody Allen.   Sinatra&amp;#039;s widow Barbara later called Mia&amp;#039;s comments &amp;quot;a bunch of junk&amp;quot;, while Ronan laughed off the controversy on Twitter. Ronan has now shared with The Hollywood Reporter that he is worried about the paternity rumours distracting from his new job as an MSNBC host.   &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s a story that&amp;#039;s been out there for a long time,&amp;quot; he commented. &amp;quot;If anything I was surprised to see it go so far this time.&amp;quot;  Ronan went on to say: &amp;quot;Of course, it is an annoyance to have such a high-profile distraction from the substance of what I&amp;#039;m working on; a very meaningful project like this TV show that I think can actually make a difference to people.&amp;quot; He is expected to begin hosting a new weekday series for the cable channel in early 2014. Ronan has previously worked as the State Department Office of Global Youth Issues for Hillary Clinton and as a policy adviser for US President Barack Obama.
