Speaking to 8days.sg after his win, Tan admitted he was overcome by a wave of different emotions when he heard Hong Kong actor Julian Cheung call his name.
“I was confused initially, and then my mind went blank. I thought it was a joke, and something I couldn’t comprehend there and then. I had to fight to get back my composure,” he said.
This marks Tan’s second Best Actor win, his first being in 2018 for When Duty Calls. Earlier that night, he had also picked up his 10th Top 10 Most Popular Male Artistes trophy, and the BYD Favourite Male Character Award.
