After marrying mainland Chinese actress Gao Yuanyuan and working in mainland China, Taiwanese artist Mark Chao has been actively promoting his latest film “Good Stuff.” Recently, during an event where he interacted with the audience, a fan confessed that she was representing her mother who is a fan of Gao Yuanyuan. This gesture led Mark Chao to kneel down in gratitude, but what caught him by surprise was when the fan further revealed that her mother is a fan of Gao Yuanyuan, leading Mark Chao to laugh and kneel down again.
Mark Chao has been tirelessly promoting his upcoming movie “Good Stuff.” He attended a post-screening event with other cast members, engaging in a live question and answer session with fans. When a fan expressed that she was there on behalf of her mother, Mark Chao knelt down in response, seemingly grateful for the love shown, but feeling a bit awkward with the fan being elevated to a maternal level.
Adding a humorous twist to the situation, the fan didn’t stop at that. She immediately followed up by saying, “Because my mother is a fan of Gao Yuanyuan.” This remark drew laughter from the audience, and Mark Chao found himself kneeling down again amidst the amusement.
After the footage of this incident surfaced, the trending phrase “Mark Chao knelt too early” sparked discussions online. Netizens jokingly commented, “Haha! This fan knows how to surprise,” “What a funny turn of events, turns out it’s his wife’s fan,” “Why is this so hilarious, he knelt too early!”
In fact, Gao Yuanyuan, known for her low-key personality, has rarely been in the spotlight since her marriage, especially after giving birth to their daughter in April 2019. In an interview where she was asked about balancing career and family, she pondered briefly before responding, “If I had to prioritize, it would be partner first, then children, and finally, career.” Placing Mark Chao as her top priority has made fans see the couple as deeply in love and sweet.
Mark Chao once mentioned that he was a fan of Gao Yuanyuan before. Prior to Gao Yuanyuan’s comeback after childbirth, Mark Chao had expressed his full support for her return to acting, emphasizing the importance of balancing responsibilities at home if one of them is filming, particularly in caring for their daughter. After Gao Yuanyuan resumed her acting career, Mark Chao was spotted visiting the set, and the couple was seen chatting face-to-face and holding hands, giving off the vibe of a couple deeply in love, as noticed by fans.
