Actor Yunxiang Gao applies for NSW bail after sexual assault arrest in Sydney

A woman who says she was sexually assaulted by a famous Chinese actor had been "besotted" with him on the set of a TV series being filmed in Sydney, a judge has been told.

Yunxiang Gao, 35, is charged with two counts of aggravated sexual assault in company of a woman at the luxury Shangri La hotel in the early hours of March 27.

His movie star wife, Xuan Dong, his mother, other Chinese supporters and reporters crowded into the NSW Supreme Court on Thursday when his barrister John Korn applied for bail as Gao appeared on the AVL screen from jail.

Another lawyer acting for Gau previously said the actor was not a flight risk, because it would in effect be like "Hugh Jackman committing an offence in China and fleeing".

"Why would the loss of these people's money cause the applicant any concern," he asked.

"He has tenuous relationships at best with them."

Lina Fu testified she was offering $1.2 million as surety, as Gao was the husband of her friend and she trusted them as a family. Bin Liu testified she was prepared to put up $200,000, saying she knew him as an acting classmate.

"I trust him, he's a good guy, he won't do that (flee)," she said.

Justice Lucy McCullum will deliver her decision on Friday.
