On her father’s 73rd birthday, Chinese superstar Fan Bingbing posted a family photo that quickly took the internet by storm, but not for the reason you’d expect. While many were eager to see the “queen of Chinese entertainment,” it was her father, Fan Tao, who stole the show with his unbelievably youthful appearance.
Despite being in his 70s, Fan Tao looked decades younger, with smooth skin and a vibrant aura that left netizens in disbelief. Standing beside him, Fan Bingbing’s mother Zhang Chuanmei, who is 69, also stunned fans with her graceful beauty.
Online, fans flooded the comments with praise:
- “That’s 73? More like 53!”
- “Genetics on another level.”
- “Fan Bingbing and Fan Chengcheng clearly inherited top-tier genes.”
- “I’d believe it if you told me he was 40.”
- “Fan Chengcheng looks exactly like his dad!”
According to media sources, Fan Bingbing’s rise to stardom has been strongly supported by her parents. Fan Tao, once a singer in the naval performing arts troupe, carried with him the discipline and determination of military life, traits that deeply influenced his daughter. Even after retiring, he remained active in local cultural programs.
Meanwhile, her mother, a former dancer, passed on her artistic talent and elegance. When Fan Bingbing first entered showbiz, both parents moved with her to Beijing to support her career. The actress has often credited her success to her family’s artistic background and unwavering support.
