Kostas Bigalis was invited to the show “Studio 4” and talked about his artistic path. The well-known singer mentioned his collaboration with Anthony Hopkins, but also his participation in his first musical.
His meeting with Anthony Hopkins
“It was a Universal miniseries and it was four episodes, they came to the school and said they were looking for people.”
He then added: “I played with Anthony Hopkins for 1.5-2 minutes with him. They were obliged to take Greeks, because it was being filmed in Greece. Anthony Hopkins was already a well-known actor then, but then Hollywood discovered him and I was lucky enough to work with him. I had gone to America to do English-language recording work.”
The first musical and acting
“The first musical I participated in stirred up reactions, we were on the stage and we could hear them shouting “shame, God will burn you”. The show was amazing,” he emphasized.
Finally, he added: “The director of the show, Dimitris Malavetas, from the first moment “saw” her, to put it simply. He told me to definitely go to drama school. I answered him that I belong to the song, but he insisted. In the end I forced myself and didn’t even take the exam. He did everything for me to start there.”
About Eurovision – There was a conspiracy to throw me out and they succeeded
“The only thing that bothered me, but I got over it because it’s their problem, is the song with Elena Paparizou, Light in our soul, which she said amazingly, but it got on her album and went to number 2 in Sweden without being promoted at all. There was a conspiracy to throw me out and they succeeded.
I don’t know why, I haven’t hurt anyone. I believe if it would go, this would also come out first. My song was 70% ahead and 26% the one that went and another 5%. They told me that you are going. One piece of information dropped from the fans. It had been pirated online and ran afoul of the regulation.”
