In a new interview with The Times in September 2023, Roman spoke of the “amazing” childhood his parents gave him.

Roman explained that thanks to an incident in France as a kid, he now has a lifelong fear of frogs.
“The first time I went away without my parents was the school French trip in 2003, which I credit with being responsible for my lifelong fear of frogs,” he said.
“We were playing football, when the ball went into long grass. I walked over to retrieve it and a frog jumped out, attached itself to my leg and refused to be moved,” he then continued.
