Airport gun drama accused is unmasked - and you won't BELIEVE who his TV star mother is

The mother of a man allegedly involved in a scuffle with Australian Federal Police at Sydney Airport when a gun was discharged is a well-known actress and TikTok beauty influencer. Nicholas Teplin, 41, from Melbourne, faced court on Friday on a string of fresh charges after he was detained by NSW Police at Central Station on Thursday, where he allegedly assaulted four men. The arrest came 36 hours after a separate alleged incident in which he tried to grab a federal police officer's firearm during an arrest at the domestic airport terminal. Magistrate Daniel Covington ordered Teplin to receive a mental health assessment when he appeared in court on Friday. 'It is a bizarre set of facts with bizarre comments made to the AFP officers,' he remarked. Teplin will be detained until he is assessed by a psychiatrist and will return to court if the doctors do not find evidence of mental ill-health. Daily Mail can reveal that his mother is Jhyll Teplin, who's best known for playing Ja'mie's mother Jhyll King on the hit ABC shows Summer Heights High and Ja'mie: Private School Girl. A source claimed that Teplin has been estranged from his mother and brother, a real estate agent in Melbourne, for a number of years. Ms Teplin was born and raised in South Africa, where she travelled the world working as a fashion designer. She spent time raising her two young sons in Portugal in the late 1980s before the family moved to Australia in 1992. The entrepreneur had businesses in clothing and skincare and was once asked to create a herbal tea for the late US pop star Michael Jackson. She first appeared on Australian screens in 2005 as Jhyll King in the ABC mockumentary sitcom We Can Be Heroes: Finding the Australian of the Year, which starred and was co-written by Chris Lilley. She reprised the role as the mother of private schoolgirl Ja'mie on Summer Heights High in 2007 and again in Ja'mie: Private School Girl. Now in her 70s, Ms Teplin is a beauty influencer who has amassed millions of views for her makeup, skincare, wellness and life advice. The grandmother has a combined following of almost 900,000 on TikTok and Instagram, and has almost 20million likes on social media. Ms Teplin previously revealed she spends up to six hours a day creating content and personally responds to the hundreds of messages she receives from fans. However, her family and private life are off-limits. Ms Teplin was still sharing content as her estranged son's arrests made headlines. Before becoming estranged from his family, records show Teplin lived with his mother in a waterfront apartment in Melbourne, which last year sold for $2.4million. Teplin was detained by NSW Police at Central Station on Thursday afternoon, where he allegedly assaulted four men on the suburban concourse. One man, 45, was left with a bloodied nose after he was allegedly punched in the face, which caused him to fall to the ground. Two more men were allegedly struck in the head. Police allege Teplin attempted to steal a bag from a fourth man before officers swooped. They also allege he later assaulted a male constable by pushing him in the chest while in custody at Surry Hills police station. Teplin was charged with a string of offences, including resisting police in the execution of duty, affray, assaulting an officer in execution of duty, assault occasioning actual bodily harm, and common assault. Prosecutors told the court on Friday that there was insufficient evidence to support Teplin's mental illness, pointing to him allegedly telling police after his arrest on Thursday: 'I know I'm going to get bail, like always'. Teplin's lawyer David Newham argued that the comment was inconclusive, arguing that his client had been medicated for PTSD for the past five years. 'It's in the community's best interest that this man gets assessed,' he told the court. NSW Police Chief Inspector Gary Coffey declined to comment on Friday about the AFP decision to grant Teplin bail on Wednesday but said police made decisions based on the risks that were known at that time. Police later released vision of a handcuffed Teplin arriving at Surry Hills police station in the back of a paddy wagon following Thursday's arrest. Dressed in a black hoodie and pants, he was escorted inside the station by two officers. The alleged incident came a day after AFP officers responded to a request for assistance from an airline about a man allegedly acting suspiciously at a check-in counter in the T2 domestic terminal on Wednesday morning. Two officers allegedly wrestled the man to the ground before a gun was accidentally fired in the struggle, with the bullet lodging in a wall one metre away at an airport cafe. Teplin was later charged with obstructing a Commonwealth official and creating a disturbance at an airport to appear in Downing Centre Local Court on September 1. He faces a $3,300 fine and up to two years behind bars if convicted of the AFP offences.
