1st September 2026 – (Hong Kong) Veteran actor Sean Lau Ching‑wan, 62, was photographed by a mainland visitor during a chance encounter at the Hong Kong Jockey Club, with the image quickly circulating on social media. Dressed simply in a plain T‑shirt and beige trousers, Lau posed politely for a snapshot beside a stylishly dressed fan, keeping his hands behind his back — a gesture widely praised online as gentlemanly. The fan captioned the moment by noting Lau’s understated demeanour off screen contrasted with his many intense roles on screen.
The picture triggered a flurry of comments about Lau’s stature, with many users expressing surprise at how tall he appeared in comparison with the fan. Estimates in the discussion threads suggested he might stand around 1.80 metres, with some speculating slightly above that mark.
