Anthony revealed that while he was still trying to settle into the new school environment, his attention was caught by little Sheletta on Dr. Seuss’s day. Young as he was, Anthony revealed that he was awestruck by her appearance, with her skinny legs and ratty pigtail.

Anthony recalled their fun school days on The Late Show With James Corden and said that Sheletta would always take away his pocket money and they were an inseparable pair.
