Overseasidol.com — Chinese actor Deng Lun has resurfaced in public after three years of being banned due to a tax scandal.
He was recently spotted at a café, drawing wide attention and heated discussion online.
According to a witness, she was about to leave the café in the evening when she suddenly passed by Deng Lun. Shocked, she described his “sharp side profile” and “bright, lively eyes”.
Photos showed him in a black baseball cap and loose blue shirt, sitting casually on a sofa while chatting with someone.
Fans quickly commented that he looked almost unchanged from his screen days.
“After so many years away, he hasn’t gained weight and still looks photogenic,” one netizen wrote.
Others noted that even without professional styling or editing, his natural appearance remains striking.
Some also reflected on his disappearance, suggesting that many artists in China may have been silenced under different pretexts, not only tax issues.
Still, many expressed relief, saying, “At least he is still alive and well,”.
Deng Lun rose to fame through popular dramas such as Princess Agents, Sweet Dreams, Because of You, and Ashes of Love.
However, his career abruptly ended when he was accused of tax evasion, leading to the shutdown of his Weibo accounts, Douyin, and studio page.
