Yeoh got her start in the kung fu cinema world but rose to stardom in 1992 as Jackie Chan's co-star in "Supercop." American audiences got to know her even better over the next decade with hits like "Tomorrow Never Dies" and Ang Lee's "Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon."
When she first read the script for "Everything Everywhere," Yeoh thought it was "an independent film on steroids." She was ultimately swayed by the opportunity to give voice to immigrant mothers and grandmothers who go unnoticed. The multiverse movie was also a showcase across a bevy of genres - drama, comedy, sci-fi and fantasy.
At 60, Yeoh has been heavily in demand since her standout turn as a controlling matriarch in "Crazy Rich Asians." From there, she has done everything from a "Star Trek" spinoff to Marvel's "Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings." Yeoh will be seen later this year in the Disney+ series "American Born Chinese." She is also preparing to reunite with "Crazy Rich Asians" director Jon M. Chu for the screen adaptation of the musical "Wicked."

The identifies stuff is silly like canned scrotum. But it’s amazing what this LEGENDARY actress has accomplished later in her careeer. The choices she has made. Really going to be inspirational to so many young women. Well done 💜🤟🤟
How does one openly identify as Asian when you can just tell she’s Asian like wtf
🤮
Blah, blah, blah
Of course she’s Asian.
Openy identify as Asian........I hate Hollywood
John Wayne was the first actor to openly identify as Asian.
SHE IS ASIAN. It's a fact, she was born in Malaysia. This is CRETIN-speak. She doesn't IDENTIFY as an Asian.
Openly identify 🤔
She was heard backstage saying she's actually Irish
That’s not true because Michelle is not a Asian name. Lol 😂 lol 😂
So she is only Asian in the lame stream media if she openly identifies as one?
Seems like you touched a nerve.
Michelle Yeoh heads into Oscars Sunday a best actress nominee. Fixed it for you race baiters
I deadass checked to see if this was one of those troll news accounts
This is so ridiculous. She’s Asian. But she’s only Asian if she identifies openly as Asian is what this means.
Pretty sure the only people who “win” awards these days are those who are the “first” to “identify” as something.
She's past her prime
What She is Asian isn't she?
This such a condescending remark. Does Michelle also ‘openly identify as a human being’? Maybe we should note that Idris Elba doesn’t want to be known as ‘black actor’ but just as an actor. Nothing says racism like referring to people by their colour.
I can't even like this tweet because.... it's ridiculous. 😂 Openly...huh? What? 🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦
😫😫😤😡
She is Asian.
What does 'openly identify as asian' even mean?!
😂
What the heck? “Openly identify”. 🤦♀️
so brave
We get to choose?
Are you all for real?!
'to openly identify as Asian', y'all...
Did someone win who didn’t openly identify as Asian? stangecomment
