According to The Starthe 44-year-old actress posted two photos for Father’s Day: one with both her parents, and another of her father blowing out a birthday candle.
“Happy Fathers Day! Wishing all the dads at home a happy day! The best dad, strongest support!” she wrote in the caption.
The photos sparked a flurry of online reactions, with many netizens stunned that her 74-year-old father Fan Tao looked younger than his age.
“Wait, that’s not her younger brother Chengcheng?” one user asked, referencing Fan’s 25-year-old brother, who is also an actor and singer.
“If you told me he was in his 40s, I’d believe you,” another commented. “This family is so beautiful.”

Fan is internationally known for her work as an actress, model, producer, and singer. In 2017, she was named one of Time magazine’s 100 most influential people. However, her career faced a major setback in 2018 when she was fined US$128 million for tax evasion, prompting a lengthy public hiatus.
In recent years, Fan has quietly returned to the spotlight, appearing at international film festivals and serving as a jury member at the 2024 Berlin Film Festival. She also stays connected with fans through social media platforms.
Outside of acting, Fan has found success as a beauty entrepreneur, with her skincare line—especially its facial masks—gaining popularity both in China and abroad.
Her father was once a pop singer known for competing in regional contests, while her mother Zhang Chuanmei, now 70, was a dancer and actress.
