Just publicized his new movie “The Winning Ticket,” mainland Chinese actor Deng Chao recently shared a heartwarming photo of him having dinner with his mother on Weibo, accompanied by a playful caption expressing his love for his mom. Fans who saw Deng Chao’s post couldn’t help but comment on how cute it was that he would be so affectionate and endearing towards his mother.
In the photo posted on Weibo on the 22nd, Deng Chao wrote, “During lunch, I told my mom that I had something very serious to say. She suddenly stood up, came closer to me, waited for a while, and when I didn’t say anything, she leaned in even closer and said, ‘Son, go ahead.’ I said, ‘I love you, mom,’ and then she hit me.”
Despite the playful “hit” from his mom, fans believe that Deng Chao must have felt incredibly warm inside. The humorous interaction between Deng Chao and his mother amused fans, with some commenting on how at 45 years old, Deng Chao’s 78-year-old mother still treats him like a child, saying “Brother Chao is truly very fortunate,” and “No matter how old the child is, in the eyes of the mother, he will always be that forever cute child.”
In the photo, Deng Chao was his usual playful self, not only goofing around with his mom by pouting for the camera but also rebelliously dyeing his hair in striking gold and pink colors, making him stand out even more. While Deng’s mother may have thinning hair and a high hairline, she appeared rosy-cheeked and in good spirits, looking quite young compared to a photo taken four years ago with her son.
Deng Chao had previously walked down the red carpet with his mother at an event, showcasing his value for family and respect and filial piety towards his mother. Some netizens noted that it was the first time Deng Chao attended an event with both his mother and his wife Sun Li, radiating happiness from his smiling face.
Known as an affectionate and loving celebrity couple in the entertainment industry, Deng Chao and Sun Li’s interactions have always garnered attention. Just two weeks ago, Deng Chao’s latest movie “The Winning Ticket” had an early screening in Shanghai, where Sun Li proudly brought along their 13-year-old son “Wait Wait” and their 10-year-old daughter.
Many netizens expressed how seeing Deng Chao with his family portrayed happiness and warmth within their household. Numerous users praised Deng Chao for being someone who understands gratitude and expresses love, making his family atmosphere enviable.
Recollecting back to March 5, 2016, Deng Chao had shared a childhood family photo on Weibo to celebrate his mother’s birthday, writing, “Mom, happy 70th birthday! Love you forever and ever and ever!” He also urged his followers to give his mother an unprecedented amount of likes, saying “Love you all!”
