At the press conference held for his latest drama, Beyond Words, the 48-year-old actor shared about his relationship with his five-year-old daughter, who lives in Shanghai with her mother, Miss Shi.
“We talk online whenever we can and she is old enough to ask me for hongbao and presents now,” Cao said with a laugh, “One thing she likes to ask for is new shoes.”
He added that his “schedule is pretty busy, but I am always available if she wants to call me.”
Although Cao had only been involved in his daughter’s life since 2012, when Miss Shi revealed that he was the father of their child in a one-night stand, he said he was getting used to parenthood. “Being a dad is really cool. You have this sudden authority over someone. It’s a big responsibility and it fosters a sense of maturity… It is really a blessing,” he said.
Though single, said he is not hopeful about getting married in the future and has even told his worried mother to stop trying to matchmake him.
“I told her not to waste her time,” he said.
“I lead a very interesting life now and I am very happy to have my own space. Like everyone else, I am eager to see what happens to me in future.”
