      @@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.

      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?

    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 🙏🏾

    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.

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.

    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!
