His nickname is derived from the Portuguese translation of "Dopey", a dwarf from the Disney version of Snow White, and was given to him by his uncle due to his short height during childhood.
Nama panggilannya berasal dari terjemahan Portugis dari Dopey, kurcaci dari versi Disney dari kisah Putri Salju, dan diberikan kepadanya oleh pamannya karena tinggi badannya yang pendek selama masa kecilnya.
