Romeo Tan owns 5 power banks, says his co-stars 'know they can always borrow' from him
“As soon as my phone battery drops to 70 per cent, I start getting nervous,” says Romeo Tan, who admits he’s obsessed with buying power banks.
Romeo Tan, a 41-year-old actor, is known to possess five power banks, according to his co-stars. Tan admits to being captivated by purchasing power banks, often seeking out those with larger capacities and the latest technology. His obsession goes beyond his on-screen character, an unkempt psychotherapist who, in the Mediacorp medical drama Keep It Down, must overcome his "addiction" to power banks after meeting a passionate urologist.
Tan's co-stars are drawn to him because they know they can always borrow a power bank or socket from him when their own devices run low. The actor currently owns five power banks, having previously owned up to eight, but this does not deter him from acquiring more. Whenever Tan travels abroad, he gravitates towards airport electronics shops, particularly if his favorite brand is releasing a new power bank.
Tan believes his fascination with power banks may be rooted in a desire for security and reassurance, as he avoids sudden changes that could cause anxiety or unpredictability in his life.
