His laidback, candid and carefree manner made it easy for him to recount the days of him “looking like a fish ball”. But today, the lawyer stands at 5’9” with broad shoulders, sunkissed skin and a shy smile (with teeth so perfect you’d do a double-take), which made it clear that the “chubby Clinton Tan” was a person of the past.
