Since becoming a household favorite after starring in TVB drama Daddy Cool <逆緣>, Carlos Chan (陳家樂) has already managed to pocket over $3 million HKD in the first half of 2018. With many job offers lined up, Carlos was seen casually shopping for a new condo home with his new money.
Having spent the first 15 years of his career working in minor roles, Carlos was virtually unknown to the public. But after Daddy Cool, the 31-year-old actor became an overnight sensation due to his good acting, healthy image, and down-to-earth personality. Highly promoted by EEG, it’s speculated that management priming Carlos to become the next Nicholas Tse (謝霆鋒) and William Chan (陳偉霆).
Hoping to move his family into a bigger and more comfortable home with his bigger paycheck, Carlos was seen shopping around for an apartment with his father and a real estate agent. Currently residing in the area of Ma On San, Carlos didn’t really want to move too far and was looking at bigger places in the same area. While looking at the listings, Carlos and his father were extremely pleased with one particular $15 million HKD property located a more secluded area with water views.
With very little time nowadays due to his busy schedule, Carlos is currently taking on one filming project after another. Working again with director Dante Lam (林超賢) after 2015’s To The Fore <破風 >, Carlos is cast in upcoming big budget thriller, Emergency Rescue <緊急救援> (tentative title) alongside Eddie Peng (彭于晏), Ian Wong (王彥霖), and Xin Zhilei (辛芷蕾).

I am so happy for Carlos Chan. Getting this big break could not have happened to a nicer guy. He does seem to be a down to earth kind of young man. I hope he stays that way. Carlos seems like a filial son, who loves and respects his parents. He strikes me as the type who is respectful in general. I hope he finds a place for his family which they all can enjoy. Nothing like a happy family home to come to at the end of the day. Real estate is always a good investment. Something tells me that Emergency Rescue is going to be a decent movie. Look forward to seeing it.
really happy for Carlos! well deserved!
Wow!! Good for him!
watched his interview and he does seem like a very down to earth and humble guy! hope he gets bigger and better roles soon!!
Carlos is such a good son and is very close to his dad. He has mentioned in numerous interviews that he really appreciates his dad’s support especially during those days when he was still a struggling actor. So happy for him that Daddy Cool finally gave him a big boost in his career. He has the looks and talent to be a big star and has a nice personality as well. Hope he will have better and bigger opportunities in the future.
@passingby Oh shut up passingby! You are over praising your idol and he isn’t as prefect as you think. He is just a money grubbing, pathetic fame seeker. This guy is way overexposed and overrated, he should just look elsewhere to earn a living but not in entertainment industry.
@unknown no you shaddup. You’re just jealous of anyone who makes more money than you. It’s easy to earn more than you cos you don’t even do a decent day’s work I bet. Why don’t we take a poll here and ask the others to vote who should shaddup. I’m surprised Jayne hasn’t banned you yet.

@passingby You’re a scum for trying to defend this fame seeker. Poor you accept the reality not everyone have to like him and he isn’t as prefect as you think. Regardless of what you say, celebrities don’t deserve all their fame and wealth The society must be truly crazy to pay these celebrities such a huge salary. We should stop worshipping them and lining their pockets with millions for nothing.
@unknown so?????? And then????? Go ahead and troll. No one takes you seriously anyways.
