When asked if Di Cesare was his real name, Goldbridge responded: “This is true. This is true.
“There was a video done three years ago about this […]. When I started on YouTube, my job would not have allowed me to use my real name, hence the name was created.”
Goldbridge confirmed to True Geordie his family name was an Italian name and insisted that he would use his real name if he was starting from scratch now.

“It’s an Italian name. […] To be honest with you, if I was starting again, I would have it,” Goldbridge continued.
Newcastle fan True Geordie wasn’t alone in being caught out by complete surprise at Goldbridge’s admission, with one person saying the YouTuber has the “most sensational name ever.”
“I love how he gave away his real name and months later still all of us just call him Goldbridge as if this never happened,” one fan posted.
