Nicholas Tse Ting Fung (謝霆鋒) (born on August 29, 1980) is a Hong Kong based singer and actor. He is an actor of the Emperor Entertainment Group. Born to Hong Kong legendary actor Patrick Tse and Deborah Lai, Tse was raised in Vancouver, Canada, but also attended Hong Kong International School in Hong Kong.
Tse has produced a number of albums, known for their guitar riffs. He has also starred in several other acclaimed films, such as
Time and Tide and Metade Fumaca. He enjoys good success in Hong Kong, as well as dating Hong Kong singer/actress
Cecilia Cheung and
Faye Wong.
However, Tse came into the spotlight when he crashed his Ferrari F360 Modena in Causeway Bay of Hong Kong on March 23, 2002. Initially it was claimed that his driver was responsible for the crash, but further investigation by the ICAC revealed that the story was fabricated, involving three other men and a police officer. Tse was sentenced to 240 hours of community service for obstruction of justice, and officer Lau Chi-Wai was sentenced to six months in prison. He had spent two weeks in a detention center prior to sentencing, and there, Tse received a rectal infection as a result of the cavity searches. Although some viewed this charge as lenient, the 240 hours was the maximum punishment for this offense, given that Tse was also a young offender at the time (21 years and 7 months.) Nonetheless, some claimed that this sentence would send out the wrong message to Hong Kong youths, although it could be equally argued that handing out a harsher sentence because he was a celebrity is just as inappropriate as handing out a lighter one.
He later had another accident in November, where he crashed his Audi in Lantau. He was banned from driving for six months and fined 4000 Hong Kong dollars for reckless driving. Prior to this, he was fined 7000 HKD and had his license suspended for a year for two separate charges of speeding.
Afterwards, Tse spent several months to "discover himself", then releasing the album
Reborn.
