Banksy revealed his first name in a lost interview recorded 20 years ago

Banksy – the elusive but world-renowned artist – has remained anonymous since the 1990s, but the mystery man did divulge his first name once, back in 2003, a previously lost BBC interview has revealed.

In a radio interview with BBC reporter Nigel Wrench, Banksy talks about the quick graffiti skills that have made him famous while simultaneously keeping him anonymous. Wrench asks the artist if he is named "Robert Banks," to which Banksy replies, "It's Robbie."

At the time of the interview, Banksy was promoting his "Turf War" show in a warehouse in London. The radio interview was edited, according to the outlet, so the name reveal was not included when it initially aired.
