Sam Smith Plans to Use His Grammys as Doorstops

Let's just say he's not putting them on the mantel.

See, the Grammys you see artists posing with backstage the night of the show are just props: The real ones, with the names and categories engraved on them, are shipped to the artists later.

"It's very surreal. I'm still trying to get used to it in my head. I haven't actually got them," he told London's Capital FM radio. "It's hard for me to think of myself as a Grammy Award-winner without the Grammys."

However, when they do arrive, Smith has special plans for the trophies -- and none of them include displaying the awards on his mantel.

"I wanna think of somewhere funny. I don't wanna just put them up," he said. "I wanna use 'em as, like, a doorstop, or a toothbrush holder or something."

"I immediately got through to my management and I was like, 'Please tell me you [just] haven't told me [yet] about the Tom Cruise thing,'" he laughed. "And they're like, 'Sam, we haven't heard anything!' I was like, "Awww!"
