Viral birthday photos leave fans stunned

Tan’s birthday post quickly gained traction online, with thousands of comments from followers amazed by how young he looks.

Some users joked that he must be a “vampire”, while others said he looks closer to 35 than 60.

Reflecting on the milestone, Tan shared a thoughtful message about ageing and gratitude.

He wrote that “time is the only real wealth” and said he was grateful for each new day, encouraging people to reconnect with nature and focus on what truly matters in life.

From model to renowned photographer

Before becoming an internet sensation for his youthful looks, Tan built a successful career in the fashion industry.

He started out as a model in the 1980s and later pursued music briefly in the 1990s before transitioning into photography.

Today, he is an established fashion photographer and co-founder of the creative studio Chuando & Frey, having worked with celebrities including Janet Jackson, Rita Ora and Shu Qi.

Tan first went viral in 2017, when photos of his youthful appearance circulated widely online and drew global attention.

The lifestyle habits behind his youthful appearance

Tan has repeatedly said that there is no magic formula behind his age-defying look. Instead, he credits a disciplined lifestyle and healthy habits.

According to the photographer, his routine focuses on balanced nutrition, regular exercise, proper sleep and stress management.

His typical diet includes protein-rich breakfasts such as oatmeal, eggs and avocado, while lunch and dinner often consist of grilled or steamed chicken or fish with rice and broth.

Tan also maintains a strict sleep schedule, usually going to bed before 11 p.m., and avoids alcohol, smoking, sugary drinks and coffee.

Exercise also plays a major role in his routine, with strength training, cardio and swimming several times a week helping him maintain his toned physique.

‘There’s no secret formula’

Despite his viral fame, Tan insists that ageing is inevitable. He has previously acknowledged that he does feel the effects of ageing and must work harder to maintain his health and energy levels.

For him, the key lies not in shortcuts or miracle treatments but in consistent habits and a positive mindset, a philosophy that continues to fascinate millions of fans around the world.
