Now, following some digging from The Tab, it seems as if Bourgeois’ real name is actually Luke Nicolson. The Tab’s report stemmed from a Companies House document which names Nicolson as the founder of “Francois Bourgeois Limited.”

Additionally, the report uncovered an Instagram account with the same name that has links to the Brothers modeling agency that represents Bourgeois. Despite having other Luke’s on their website, the agency doesn’t have a Luke Nicolson listed, which only adds fuel to the fire.

The name Francis Bourgeois is seemingly borrowed from a court painter who assisted King George III.

The TikToker has proven to be such a hit that he’s started incorporating other famous faces into his posts.
