Being the child of one of Hong Kong’s biggest stars is definitely something to brag about.
Renowned singer-actor Andy Lau recently appeared on a Chinese programme to promote his new movie A Gilded Game.
During the interview, Lau, 63, shared an interesting anecdote about his 13-year-old daughter Hanna, whom he shares with his Malaysian wife Carol Chu.
Lau revealed that Hanna once tried to impress her classmates by declaring, “My father is Andy Lau!”. However, most of them didn’t believe her.
When asked by the host if Hanna ever asked him to come forward and prove to her classmates that he was really her father, the superstar said no.
“She says it’s just for fun. If I really showed up at her school, it might cause a commotion,” he added.
Fortunately for Hanna, it seems her classmates now believe her, as she was seen with several of them in the front row at Lau’s concert last December.
At the time, Hanna drew public attention for her looks, with many praising how her eyes resemble her father’s.
Lau is known to be fiercely protective of his family, often keeping his private life under wraps.
The actor once revealed in an interview that Hanna doesn’t own a phone – just a tablet for school-related matters.
“Except for apps and websites required by the school, I don’t allow anything else,” he said, adding that he closely monitors Hanna whenever she uses the Internet.
“She doesn’t have a social media account. I’m quite strict with her in this regard. The online world is beyond my control, so I try my best to keep it out of her reach.”
