#SHOWBIZ: Fan Bingbing's father, 74, praised for his youthful looks
BEIJING: June 15 marked Father's Day, and like many celebrities, 43-year-old Chinese actress Fan Bingbing took to social media to pay tribute to her father, Fan Tao.
"Happy Father's Day! Wishing all the dads at home a joyful day! Best dad, strongest support!" she posted on Weibo, accompanying her message with a rare photo of her parents and herself.
However, it was the striking resemblance among the family members—and their seemingly ageless appearances—that truly captivated netizens.
8Days reported that Bingbing's 74-year-old father garnered the most attention due to his remarkably youthful look.
Some pointed out that Bingbing's younger brother, 25-year-old singer Fan Chengcheng, bore a strong likeness to his father, while others quipped that "dad looks like an older version of Fan Chengcheng."
Another netizen commented: "Wow! They certainly are a good-looking and talented family."
Fan Tao was formerly a singer, and his wife, 70-year-old Zhang Chuanmei, was an actress and dancer.

Singer Justin Bieber took to Instagram on Monday with a candid message to his followers addressing the speculation about his well-being. Photo: TNS Justin Bieber opened up about his 'deep anger issue' one day after celebrating his first Father's Day. The 31-year-old singer took to Instagram on Monday with a candid message to his followers addressing the speculation about his well-being. 'People keep telling me to heal. Don't you think if I could have fixed myself I would have already?' he began his post. 'I know I'm broken. I know I have anger issues,' the singer continued. 'I tried to do the work my whole life to be like the people who told me I needed to be fixed like them. And it just keeps making me more tired and angry.' He added that he's more focused on himself the harder he tries to grow. 'Jesus is the only person who keeps me wanting to make my life about others,' Bieber said. 'Because honestly I'm exhausted with learning about myself lately aren't you?' The self-proclaimed 'Jesus guy' captioned the post with a middle finger emoji. He used the same emoji to caption a flurry of Instagram posts he published on Sunday, which included a photo of his son, Jack, and his wife, Hailey Bieber. The couple announced the birth of their first child in August after sharing they were expecting in May 2024. Bieber followed up Monday's confession with a series of scattershot selfies in another post with the caption: 'If u wanna know where I'm parked.' In recent weeks, Bieber also posted alluding to a conflict with an unidentified friend. 'Tired of transactional relationships,' he wrote in a June 8 caption. 'If I have to do something to be loved that's not love.' – New York Daily News/Tribune News Service

Wang Ta-lu charged in offences relating to dodging Taiwan's military service
Actor Wang Ta-lu has been charged with knowingly causing a public official to make a false entry in a public document. Photo: Wang Ta-lu/Instagram Taiwanese actor Wang Ta-lu and 27 others were charged on June 16 with offences relating to dodging the island's mandatory military service, prosecutors said. Mandatory military service for men aged 18 and older was extended to one year from the previously obligatory period of four months, taking effect at the beginning of 2024. Deferment can be granted for higher education, although all men are required to serve in the military by the time they turn 36. Wang, 34, also known as Darren Wang, is a popular actor in Taiwan, South Korea and China. News of his questioning by the police in February was the top trending topic on China's X-like social media platform Weibo. The New Taipei District Prosecutors Office said in a statement that Wang had been charged with knowingly causing a public official to make a false entry in a public document. Wang allegedly paid the prime suspect in the case, a person surnamed Chen, NT$3.6mil (RM517,582) to handle matters related to evading military service. Chen was detained before he could carry out the plan, which involved another defendant using Wang's identity and health insurance cards to go to hospital under the actor's name, prosecutors said. Chen and another 26 defendants were also charged with violating the military service system by 'hurting the body or using other methods to change the physical conditions'. Under Taiwanese law, anyone found guilty of that offence faces up to five years in prison. 'The conscription system is the cornerstone of maintaining social stability and national security,' prosecutors said, warning that using illegal means to evade it would undermine social order and national security. Wang, who was granted bail and was set to begin his military service in March, faces a maximum term of three years in prison if found guilty. Chen could face at least five years in jail for enabling a large number of conscripts to dodge conscription and pocketing NT$7.63mil (RM1.09mil). – AFP
