I just had to make sure. Is it possible he did do a film project and he mistook it for Kong in his old age? Wasn't there some film with a similar plot/title with a man in a suit? (No '76 jokes, fellers).
There was an abandoned musical short using marionettes that had a man in a gorilla suit playing Kong (or at least a parody there of), but I don't think this is the case here.  The guy wouldn't have worked on that film until long after the original Kong had hit theaters.
 
I know when Charles Gemora died several newspaper obits erroneously credited him as having played Kong, but that was lazy journalism & assumptions, not a claim on his part.
  
The marionette gorilla suit was none other than Charlie Gemora himself.
In the course of the action, "Kong" fights a dragon like creature built and played by Wah Chang.
