Hong Kong actor Luo Tianyu rang in his 39th birthday on Oct. 1, and the following day, he treated fans to a behind-the-scenes look at the celebrations on social media. The photo series featured his younger brother, close friends, his girlfriend, and a cheeky nod to a recent on-stage nosebleed.
Luo recently headlined a show at Macpherson Stadium in Mong Kok when a sudden nosebleed forced him to briefly exit the stage. He returned shortly afterward and joked that the mishap was “unheard of.” The moment quickly became a running gag among his inner circle—and a recurring theme in his birthday photos.
In the pictures shared Oct. 2, Luo posed alongside his younger brother in one frame and with brothers Zhou Zhiwen and Zhou Zhikang in another. The sweetest shot, however, featured his girlfriend, Chen Yide, who went cheek-to-cheek with the actor while pouting at the camera and cradling their pet dog. The pooch, seemingly unimpressed by the human antics, stole the spotlight with an adorably blank expression.
The main group photo saw Luo’s friends all pinching their noses in unison—a playful re-creation of the gesture he had used to stem his nosebleed during the concert. The synchronized pose drew laughs from fans, who flooded the comments with birthday wishes and laughing emojis. One photo even captured the dog looking utterly bewildered by the performance, cementing its status as the breakout star of the post.
Luo has been a familiar presence in Hong Kong’s entertainment industry for years, building a reputation across television and film. While he generally keeps his personal life private, the birthday posts offered a rare, candid glimpse into his world. His relationship with Chen, also an entertainment industry figure, appeared to be thriving as the couple posed affectionately for the camera.
The celebration highlighted the strong bonds within Hong Kong’s showbiz community, where friends turned an awkward on-stage moment into a shared inside joke. For Luo, the nosebleed-turned-birthday-meme was clearly taken in good humor—a sign that he does not take himself too seriously.
As he steps into his 40th year, the actor appears surrounded by love, laughter, and loyal companionship. If the birthday photos are any indication, Luo Tianyu is not just a talented performer but also a well-loved friend who knows how to laugh at life’s unexpected moments. Fans will undoubtedly be watching to see what he does next—on stage and off.
