Multiple celebrities took to social media on June 15 to celebrate Fathers Day, and Chinese superstar Fan Bingbing was among those who shared heartfelt tributes to their dads.
The 43-year-old actress shared a rare glimpse of her family life on Weibo, posting two photos – one with her parents and another of her father blowing out the candle on his cake.
“Happy Fathers Day! Wishing all the dads at home a happy day! The best dad, strongest support!” she wrote in the caption.
The photos quickly went viral, with fans marvelling at how incredibly youthful Fan’s father looked despite being 74.
Some were even stunned enough to mistake him for her 25-year-old brother Chengcheng, who’s also an actor and a singer.
Several netizens mistook Fan's father for her 25-year-old brother, singer-actor Fan Chengcheng. Photos: Fan Bingbing/Weibo, Fan Chengcheng/Weibo“Chengcheng isn’t the one in the second picture?” one netizen asked.
“He’s over 70? If you told me he was in his 40s, I’d believe you. This family is so beautiful,” another commented.
“Dad is becoming younger and younger,” a third chimed in.
Fan’s father Fan Tao was once a pop singer who often performed in regional competitions. Her mother Zhang Chuanmei, 70, was a dancer and actress.
