Lu was born in Taipei City, Taiwan. His father, Chen Kung [zh], was one of the founding members of the Bamboo Union triad in Taiwan. Lu's parents divorced, and then at the age of eight Lu moved to America, where he spent the rest of his childhood. He later attended University of California in Irvine, California, earning a bachelor's degree in English studies.[5]

After various modeling work, Lu crossed over to acting in 2002, and subsequently had small roles in films such as Lost in Time, Fantasia and Driving Miss Wealthy. In 2008, he returned to Taiwan and appeared in his first Mandarin-language series, Police et vous, playing the role of a businessman. Lu then starred in numerous television series such as Who's The One, Next Heroes, In Between, True Love 365, Life Plan A and B, as well as the film 100 Days, which was released in 2013. Had a cameo role for one episode in Brothers Sun, a Netflix original in 2024.
