Dappy would prefer if you thought of him as Costadinos Contostavlos

  • February 15, 2012
  • Mikey

Costadinos Contostavlos says his Dappy alter ego is just a "shield", and that he is "a real human being".

Separating his twin iden­tit­ies he says: "When I come into the house, I try to wind down and become Costas from Greece. I'll make some Greek food and be calm."

Having made a career as the artist known as Dappy, Costas explained that the persona is something "I can't get out of", adding that he plans to stick by the name regard­less.

"I can be an icon," he told Now, hoping to match the success of "Ozzy Osbourne with hit after hit to make our country proud."

Oh, Costas.
