Recently, Nicholas Tse (Lucas) - the eldest son of Nicholas Tse and Cecilia Cheung - was accidentally caught by netizens on a street in Sydney, Australia.
At the age of 19, Lucas has bouncy curly hair, wears a gray hoodie and comfortably raises his hand to pose in a V-shape in front of the camera. In everyday photos taken by netizens, he is already over 1.8m tall, with eye features and eyebrows quite similar to his father Nicholas Tse in his youth.
Looking closer, Lucas inherits the sharp, angular facial features of Nicholas Tse, while the faint dimples when smiling and the soft lines make people see the shadow of Cecilia Cheung.
Some people commented that Lucas is a "copy of Nicholas Tse", while others said that Lucas looks very much like Kim Thanh Vu in his youth.
Passersby who accidentally met Lucas said that he did not show any distance even though his parents were famous, but was very comfortable taking pictures with everyone. Lucas exudes a natural demeanor like an ordinary university student.
In January 2026, Lucas simultaneously received admission letters from the University of Sydney and the Australian Academy of Music, and finally he chose the second school to study modern music production and pop performance.
Lucas did not rely on his parents' reputation to be admitted to the school, but prepared his own admission documents which were musical works composed by him and participated in interviews, thereby winning a scholarship of 20,000 AUD (about 370 million VND), paying about 60% of tuition fees.
On the day of enrollment, Lucas brought his synthesizer to school himself, without an assistant to accompany him, and without showing off branded goods.
After arriving in Sydney, his daily life is not much different from that of local international students - taking buses, subways, going to furniture stores to buy household items, and occasionally being seen taking the subway with girls of the same age.
Others saw Lucas working part-time at a coffee shop, with a salary of 18 AUD/hour, in charge of washing cups and serving drinks quite proficiently.
On August 2nd, Cecilia Cheung posted a video celebrating Lucas's birthday on social media. There was no lavish scene, just the two mothers and daughters going out to eat. At the end of the video, Lucas leaned close to his mother's ear and said: "I want to hug you because I love you".
The video was quickly widely shared. Fans commented: "The boy used to know how to protect his mother when he was only 2 years old, now he is 19 years old". This saying evokes images of Lucas when he was young, standing guard in front of his mother and helping his mother carry luggage when going out.
At Ta Dinh Phong's "Evolution" concert in 2026, Lucas wore a cloth bag worth several tens of yuan, sitting in the ordinary audience area, not entering the VIP room or bringing bodyguards. He quietly watched the performance. After the program ended, Lucas and his younger brother squeezed into the crowd to wait for the subway. When passersby recognized him, he just smiled and nodded.
Nicholas Tse and Cecilia Cheung divorced in 2011, when Lucas was only 4 years old. In the past 15 years, he has often been back and forth between his parents' families.
Once, during a school exchange, someone asked Lucas: "Parents divorced, do you feel awkward?", the boy then just scratched his head and smiled and said: "They don't need to be together to play a complete family. Just make everyone feel comfortable is enough.
In July 2026, Ta Hien's grandfather's health became critical. Lucas, who was studying abroad in Australia, temporarily stopped studying and quickly flew back to Hong Kong (China) to be with him in his last days. After that, he returned to Australia, continuing his study abroad life quietly.
