Dino Imperial has been the talk of the town as of late. This past week alone, most showbiz columns in tabloids and even broadsheets have been talking about the young man’s apparently large appendage between his legs while in his 220 (Volta’s superhero son) attire. Some naughty columnists, then, began to surmise that his costume was probably altered to suit the taste of Dino’s growing gay fanbase.

However, in an interview, the Star Magic talent was quick to deny said rumors. He claims this is not a gimmick to boost the ratings of the show. Dino (who is Dino Kilates in real life) further explains that his “bulge” is real and he has his father’s and grandfather’s Spanish lineage to thank for.

Dino will soon be part of your early Saturday evening habit as he appears in the tv series, “Volta”, which will start airing on January 26, 2008. You may also catch Dino on “Prinsesa Ng Banyera” on Weekdays and “Star Magic Presents: Astig” on Sundays.
