At the age of 26, he resided in the Hatikva Quarter of Tel Aviv, where he attended The Yoram Loewenstein Performing Arts Studio for a year.

In a 2019 interview, he addressed the spelling of his surname: "It's supposed to be with an 'e' at the end, but we don't want people to read it 'Capone' like the gangster. We don't want any misunderstandings."[4]
