@@MsJenniferxxx Well, since you didn't link anything the past 10 months I've looked up some of her comments about Chinese men. Most of the results linked to her calling them chauvinistic pigs (and that includes Jackie Chan)... not that I know much about Chinese men in particular but a comment like that doesn't strike me as surprising or extreme. In fact that search got me to read a few interviews with her that made me respect her even more, so thanks for that.
Her legacy is no joke. People have been talking about these scenes for ages and we finally get to hear it from the queen herself how the experience was T.T
She's really had a hell of a career and somehow, she's still peaking??? Just a total legend. And I love how basically the directors/writers are now writing the parts for her. As they should.
She's peaking in Hollywood. She's been in Hong Kong film for like, over 40 years, which is crazy to think about. Largely doing a lot of the same action roles, and even expanding into dramatic roles with greater depth.
Michelle Yeoh has done more dangerous stunts in Supercop than Tom Cruise has done in all his movies combined. That motorcycle onto the train was insane, and rolling off the train onto the car, wow.
Some of those stunts were bortherline negligence. Not even bortherline. So many of Jackie Chan movies wouldn't fly in today's indutry and I think that's okay. Safety of the actors should always come first.
@@Madferit91 a lot of Asian films back then didn't have the budget for safety. It's great that filming now has safety protocols but gotta respect what they had to do back in the day to reach where they are now. And not wasting that opportunity to open it the floor to other immigrants and Asians in film
Can you believe this woman's age!!?? She's absolutely gorgeous. The stunts she performed are not simple, she's a hard worker, strongest woman. She's a dream. I love her so much.
In another interview, she said after that motorcycle scene Jackie Chen came to her and said "Are you trying to kill me?" because he needed to do a more daring stunt to top hers. He ended up hanging onto a rope ladder attached to a moving helicopter.
This woman is amazing. She performs bad ass stunts, looks eternally 40, is intelligent and well spoken, and has had one of the longest under appreciated careers. I’m sorry it took so long, but I think it’s wonderful Everywhere, Everything has finally brought her into the limelight.
Michelle is one of the few actors who I'll see the movie or show regardless of plot if I see her credited. She is remarkable and has a body of work that speaks to how brilliant she is.
I'd recommend you take a look at her final fight scene in Royal Warriors where she squares off against a deranged Chinese Vietnam war veteran trying to hack her apart with a chainsaw....she kicks the shit outta him and I'd recommend literally all the fight scenes in her 1992 film Wing Chun especially the Tofu fight
@@cyborgchicken3502 I love the Tofu Tray Fight; it was quite creative + also hilarious. Wing Chun is underappreciated; Donnie Yen was also in that flick.
What I love about Michelle is that she clearly has a love for filmmaking both in front and behind the camera. She really seems like someone who only wants to be a part of a project that she truly believes in. 🥰
She used to be a beauty queen and only entered the movies because of her gorgeous looks. She could have been just another pretty face wallflower. Instead, she made herself into one of the very best martial arts stars at the height of the martial arts industry (coming from zero background as a martial artist), became one of the most renowned stunts woman, and then turned her career in mid-stride to become one of the most iconic and amazing actresses working in China and in Hollywood. Can you imagine anyone else who has been 1) A Bond girl 2) Starred in a classic like Crouching Tiger, 3) been in Star Trek, 4) Crazy Rich Asians, and 5) Everything Everywhere All at Once? Her range is simply astonishing. Here she is at age 59 and it can easily be argued that she is at the height of her career right now. How can you not love her?
What an inspiring woman. She has indeed done it all! A Bond girl, a beauty queen, a graduate, a superhero, a mother and even a Captain on the Enterprise. Can you beat that? We just don't get this kind of woman anymore...a lady of substance, style and talent. Proud of you my fellow Malaysians...
@5:20 Look at her stretching that leg while sitting! At almost 60! She's the real deal! Loved her since her Hong Kong movies. She was the main reason I watched Star Trek: Discovery, she was such a bad ass in it. She made the show looking so good. Going to watch Everything Everywhere All at Once next week!
As I recall her body of work with her in this video, I am aghast. She has done quite a bit, with so much range. This woman is nothing short of legendary. Thanks EW for letting her talk through her career so far 👍. Looking forward to seeing more from her; the next one I think Everything Everywhere All At Once! And wow, she’s in Avatar 2? Now that I know that I wonder what James Cameron has on store? (This from someone who didn’t really like the first Avatar movie; it wasn’t my kind of movie)
Saw EEAAO last night. Highly recommend it and Michelle Yeoh is one of the GOAT. More than just an action star, she has range and depth in this movie. My thanks to everyone who worked on this movie; it was highly entertaining, bonkers and heartfelt. So creatively original. I am still wondering what I just saw and (whilst not perfect because no film is) and just want to thank all the creators of this film for it. 👍👏
I'm sad that so many people are not aware of the films she made during her time in Hong Kong, so many awesome action films like Yes Madam, Royal Warriors, Wing Chun, The Heroic Trio and Executioners, Silver Hawk, Magnificent Warriors, and so much more....I suppose 80s and 90s Hong Kong action films are too much of a niche for most people nowadays
Wing-Chun (1994) was the first martial arts film I experienced that had a female main character who was the hero of the story. I loved it! I'm not sure what Michelle Yeoh thinks of that film from long ago and whether it was a positive experience for her or not, but I became a fan of Michelle Yeoh after seeing that film.
Michelle's poise, confidence, and wit are radiant. You can see how she's incredibly proud of her work while more than capable of being able to laugh at herself, and it makes her such a joy to watch and listen to.
Michelle Yeoh is the most underrated actress in Hollywood, thanks God she's been filming great movies in different countries, hope one day Hollywood realizes is a bunch of good actors and actress overseas
Gosh dang she really took CRA to another level single handedly. As a Singaporean with my country represented, that was a dodged bullet thanks to her. Could have been a "Hangover movie", not that those were bad films, just not one that would have resonated the same way the current form did. Michelle's performance in CRA was just chef's kiss.
@Towkeeyoh And her character, Eleanor was correct about Rachael, "not being (good) enough". How does a professor thinks, "going East", means going to Queens, NYC !!! A Chinese-American 6th grader knows, going East, means to Asia.
@@beausheffield1895 a hangover movie would be chaotic with no meaning, as the film is called crazy rich asians it seems like it would be people having insanely extravagant parties and chaotic moments in where the night is heading (maybe people doing drugs and lots of alcohol for example) whereas it was much classier with a real focus on the individuals effected by their culture and social circles, how it progresses and how they handle it
@@nkechi4635 It's basically litany of random comedic acts with no intention other than shock factor. I honestly can't believe they were able to squeeze two sequels out of The Hangover.
She’s so lovely and inspiring and so so funny. I love her so much in Star Trek Discovery. If it weren’t for her, I honestly wouldn’t even have watched season 1.
Being a martial artist myself, I have the greatest respect admiration, and adoration for Michelle Yeoh for a long time! This video was so awesome to watch. All the story telling she did of all her parts in various films is absolutely amazing! Thank you for this video, and most of all, thank you Michelle Yeoh! You are an amazing and sweet woman, and a very classy lady! I love your honesty in explaining all the things that happened in all the movies! I will always be a fan! 😍❤️
This was a much better interview than GQ. I love Michelle and I feel like she got much more space to talk openly about her experiences, love this woman with all my heart!
Bang! Dang! She just mic dropped her work resume in this video! I cannot even think of another actress as prolific and versatile as her! Hail Queen Michelle Yeoh!
Love her. Back in days, where all her martial arts (hongkong) movies were my favorite to watch in our local cinemas in the Philippines and even collected cut-outs poster of her movies from the newspapers. Big fan of MY since then.
I always remember her in Memoirs of a Geisha, all that preparation it took to get the Geisha ready in all aspects, she always looks so graceful and strong at the same time
What is more amazing than her work: she did not age much since Wing Chun. All I could do is repeat what others already said, + fan for life, She is the most badass female star in the Galaxy
ahhh, I watched Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon back when I was 16 in a movie theatre in the middle of nowhere while on summer vacation with my girlfriends and till this day it's one of my favourite movies of all time - and that is 90% because of Michelle's character and portrayal
She is such a legend, and having her in Star Trek was just absolutely amazing, I really hope they get that Section 31 show that she's supposed to be leading off the ground soon, she deserves her own Star Trek show! She deserves everything!
Michelle Yeoh is definitely Malaysian pride!! Boundaries breaking and record setting, being the first Asian actress, Malaysian to be exact to be crowned Best Actress in Academy Awards!! Talk about the ultimate reward that reflects her tireless dedication in the movie industry, well done Queen Michelle!! A true class act and the source of inspiration to millions out there, we couldn't be more proud of Michelle indeed!!
Michelle Yeoh! Iconic, hard working, amazing actor! I love her strength and persistence! Gratitude for the persistence and breaking thru so many barriers for Asian actors!
From Hong Kong movies to Indie films to James Bond to Star Trek to Marvel to Avatar. Michelle Yeoh has done it all. She deserves every opportunity coming her way.
Her work really speaks for itself! Such a tremendous talent. I feel in some ways she has never been given the credit she deserves. What a delightful person and her energy is relentless. She has great presence on the movie screen second to none. I never realized how crazy some of those stunts were she did. Fortunately, she survived them without crippling herself permanently!
Huge fan of Michelle the woman and the actress, she oozes grace and after watching this interview I have a new appreciation for her sense of humour and her gratitude for the opportunities her acting career has provided. 🌟🌟
My favourite actress bar none. If there’s any justice she will win an Oscar this year. She’s proven herself time and time again. It’s time the academy sat up and paid her the attention she deserves.
Yes Madam deserved to be on this list. Groundbreaking movie (sparked the "girls with guns" genre in Hong Kong), her first lead role if I remember, and definitely one of the most badass crime-action movies.
I always recall about my wife talking about Hollywood crushes.I told her I have a Hong Kong crush. It is Michelle Yeoh. She didn't know who I was talking about. She said" well she won't be so pretty after I use my baseball bat" and I laughed hysterically. My wife thought I was laughing because she was being funny. Years later we were watching Crouching Tiger and asked her if she remembered my Hong Kong crush because that lady kicking Zhang Ziyi's ass in the sword fight is Michelle Yeoh. Her reaction was priceless. She granted me permission to keep that crush.
No doubt about it! Michelle Yeoh is a superstar. And will always be a "superstar". We love you Michelle and we are , and myself a great fan of yours. I grew up in Asia and came to America . And was firstly, mesmerized of the great talents such as yours, Jackie Chan, Donnie Yen, Jet Li, and many more actors and actresses from East Asia. So full of talents and courage to break the curtain of action movies into Hollywood. With your great passion, emotions, talent, skill, and humbleness. That's what makes you a great icon and an actress. Long live and God bless always to you. What a great contribution to the arts of movies and martial arts.. I love Malaysia 🇲🇾
This interview gives me goosebumps 😆 I have the ultimate respect for that woman. Geez she went through the decades, and delivered the most memorable action scenes ever. My introduction to her was back in 1986 watching “Yes, Madam” (funny English title 😅) with Cynthia Rothrock 🔥🔥🔥🔥💯 Much love ❤️ Respect ❤️ I hope and wish I’ll meet her in real life. True inspiration 🙏🏾
Everything everywhere All at Once is was a fantastic roller coaster ride and Michelle was just powerful, funny and engrossing. Must watch for anyone who like film.
It's weird that she was actually trained in dance at a young age and still she combined that with her later martial arts training, which resulted into the most flawless set of stunts and combos we've seen so far.
1) I love her glasses. I need to find an affordable for me dupe. 2) I know it's not funny since Michelle could have been injured and a stuntman did get injured but I can't stop laughing at Jackie's face and his frozen arm as he watches them rolling away. 3) That motorcycle stunt is insane.
total respect for MY. the epitome of asian actor at highest level. mama was so focus on her career that she never had children. but she is still the mother to all asian actors in the movie world. queen 😍
Michelle Yeoh what a magnificent artist I been watching her work through the years she touched my heart several times through her movies.. What an actress.... It s been a long time coming for an oscar
Oscar is honored to have her in their winning list.... This is the true legacy.. The wonderful thing about Michelle Yeoh and Salma Hayek. They are truly unveiling their fantastic characters for movie goers. Look at the men they are married, they could live like a queen, but they immensely give hard work in their movies for us to enjoy.
I think I've seen just about everything this remarkable woman has filmed in English. She's a true super-hero, physically, artistically, and spiritually. Wise, Elegant, and Profound Humanity. Worthy of every admiration!
Michelle is the ULTIMATE BADASS. Also, I can’t believe they didn’t mention Memoirs of a Geisha. I know her role was small, but I think it was worth a mention.
An Amazonian Woman of the BEAUTIFUL kind!! "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon..." is among my all-time favorite movies. What a great movie with an OUTSTANDING ensemble!
What a great stroll through some of her work. Loved her stories and how she got lit up thinking about the films, action and directors, even though my favorite show wasn't mentioned (Probably because of a limited number in the US market have watched it...Reign of Assassins. Looking forward to seeing Everything Everywhere this week? Keep up the great work, Michelle!
Michelle Yeoh is an international treasure! I can't wait to see #EEAAO & her upcoming projects! Section 31, The Witcher: Blood Origin, & Avatar are going to be amazing!
I am intimidated by her poise and elegance. Such a commanding presence. Pure charisma.

No need to bring others in a conversation to lift someone up

This interview gives me goosebumps 😆 I have the ultimate respect for that woman. Geez she went through the decades, and delivered the most memorable action scenes ever. My introduction to her was back in 1986 watching “Yes, Madam” (funny English title 😅) with Cynthia Rothrock 🔥🔥🔥🔥💯
Much love ❤️ Respect ❤️ I hope and wish I’ll meet her in real life. True inspiration 🙏🏾
She’s my favorite actress! And so talented, and brave, and beautiful too!
Everything everywhere All at Once is was a fantastic roller coaster ride and Michelle was just powerful, funny and engrossing. Must watch for anyone who like film.
It's weird that she was actually trained in dance at a young age and still she combined that with her later martial arts training, which resulted into the most flawless set of stunts and combos we've seen so far.
1) I love her glasses. I need to find an affordable for me dupe.
2) I know it's not funny since Michelle could have been injured and a stuntman did get injured but I can't stop laughing at Jackie's face and his frozen arm as he watches them rolling away.
3) That motorcycle stunt is insane.
total respect for MY.
the epitome of asian actor at highest level.
mama was so focus on her career that she never had children.
but she is still the mother to all asian actors in the movie world.
queen 😍
"I would be the tea lady for James Cameron!" Michelle is full of vitality and humour. What a great person and actress.
Michelle Yeoh is beautiful in every way.
She was crowned Miss Malaysia back in the day! 🤩😍🥰
Michelle Yeoh Is of my all time favorite actress! She is incredible!
Michelle Yeoh what a magnificent artist I been watching her work through the years she touched my heart several times through her movies.. What an actress.... It s been a long time coming for an oscar
Superb getting to see and hear Michelle Yoeh as herself. Talent, class and brains. My respect and fandom only grows.
From die heart to the Geisha to James bond and now this....Academy... . Give the girl the Oscar
She had collected all the A list directors and co stars … what a legend !
Michelle Yeoh is the best Bond girl ever. She was Bond's equal. She did most of her own stunts!
She is a Legend in the game, period. Love her and her work. Cant wait to see the new film.
Yes, finally Michelle Yeoh gets her OSCAR!!!!! Brilliantly deserved - such an inspiration. 👏👏
I was so surprised and delighted to see her in Star Trek Discovery. She was my reaspon to watch the show.
Absolutely love Michelle Yeoh!!
What a bloody legend! great interview!
So happy to see her success. Amazing legend of cinema!
Oscar is honored to have her in their winning list.... This is the true legacy.. The wonderful thing about Michelle Yeoh and Salma Hayek. They are truly unveiling their fantastic characters for movie goers. Look at the men they are married, they could live like a queen, but they immensely give hard work in their movies for us to enjoy.
I think I've seen just about everything this remarkable woman has filmed in English. She's a true super-hero, physically, artistically, and spiritually. Wise, Elegant, and Profound Humanity. Worthy of every admiration!
Michelle is the ULTIMATE BADASS. Also, I can’t believe they didn’t mention Memoirs of a Geisha. I know her role was small, but I think it was worth a mention.
I was introduced to her in Memoirs of a Geisha and I’ve noticed nobody asks her about that lol it was my fave
An Amazonian Woman of the BEAUTIFUL kind!! "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon..." is among my all-time favorite movies. What a great movie with an OUTSTANDING ensemble!
They showed Police Story 3 but they didn't show Yes, Madam or Stuntwoman! She's done loads of crazy stuff. Legend in the business
I loved her so much as the emperor. One of my favorite Star Trek characters of all time.
I first saw Michelle star as Yim Wing Chun in Wing Chun, with Donnie Yen as her betrothed, loved it
Absolute legend. Her Star Trek character surprised me, I absolutely loved her in it. Really hope they do bring her back for the spin off.
What a great stroll through some of her work. Loved her stories and how she got lit up thinking about the films, action and directors, even though my favorite show wasn't mentioned (Probably because of a limited number in the US market have watched it...Reign of Assassins. Looking forward to seeing Everything Everywhere this week? Keep up the great work, Michelle!
She has always been one of my fav female actress
Michelle Yeoh is an international treasure! I can't wait to see #EEAAO & her upcoming projects! Section 31, The Witcher: Blood Origin, & Avatar are going to be amazing!
My favorite female actor since I saw her way back in the Heroic Trio at 13 years old in the early 90s. Still the best Bond girl of all time, imo.
Michelle Yeoh is absolutely a multi-talented and beautiful person. Finesse incarnate 🥰🤩
It's amazing how many looks Michelle Yeoh has had throughout her life and throughout her career. They're all great.
I love everything Michelle Yeoh has done, but nothing beats her in Supercop
Then you haven't seen her in her most iconic role in Wing Chu 10/10
