Simu Liu Shared The Very First Time He Met Michelle Yeoh, And I Love Her Even More Now

2023 is the year of Michelle Yeoh. Not only did she bag a Golden Globe and SAG Award for Everything Everywhere All at Once, but she FINALLY took home an Oscar — becoming the first Asian woman to win Best Actress!

“I went over, and I had this image of this larger-than-life, intimidating, powerful woman — not that she isn’t powerful, I want to be very clear — but I came up to her and was like, ‘Hello, Michelle. I just wanted to say how much of an honor it is to be able to work with you and how excited I am.'”

“She just about snatched the wine out of my hands and was like, ‘Yeah, yeah, yeah, thank you. You and I, we’re gonna have a great time.’ And it just was indicative of that warmth and radiance that she exudes every single day. She is nothing but kind, compassionate, and supportive.”

He said that Michelle deserves “every ounce of the success and accolades that she’s gotten because she’s also immensely talented, such a master of the craft, of all things. And when you look back at her at her résumé, she truly is a great, an onscreen and Hollywood great, and a legend, and an icon. It’s about time that we recognized her.”
