Michelle Yeoh exudes elegance and class. A true icon of cinema.

[niceteal]

She's an incredibly confident interviewee. Very natural and cool. I love how she's not afraid to just say what's on her mind or lead the conversation in a direction that interests her.

[clashj]

She's still such a beauty 25 years later. An impressive actor and great action film star

[ahlokecafe_articulate]

She's a living legend. If u watch some of her early movies, u be shock on good her action scenes were.

She was so fantastic in Everything Everywhere All At Once

[NTWoo]

I was going to comment about how its great how many people are showing Michelle love after Everything Everywhere All At Once, but then I remembered she's literally been beloved by fans everywhere since the 90s!

[samwang]

She started her career in the 80s as the female version of Jackie Chan although she was not trained in kungfu (she was a highly competent ballet dancer though). She sustained so many injuries including one which could have left her paralysed for life. She never gave up, never complained. She fully deserved the Oscar

[ozoz]

She’s slowly but surely been climbing the Hollywood ladder even after being such a loved actress internationally. I’m glad she’s finally getting more spotlight. She was amazing in everything everywhere all at once.

[dc]

She is such a fantastic actress.

Best Bond girl.

[Zsnakeistaken]

She's so delightful. So charismatic and friendly

[redred]

Michelle Yeoh legendary icon, long-overdue for her deserved awards. Give her that damn Oscar.

[andyzhang]

Michelle’s charisma is insane… crazy how this interview was over 20 years ago and she has barely aged

[mrrd]

the kick then hug was so CUTE, what a delight this is

[mug]

Wow, she did those kicks so casually, no effort at all. It's unfortunate that we missed the one goes right in front of Conan's face. But his reaction was priceless...

[brianegendorf]

This is the first interview I've seen of her, she has a great personality.

[stonewallperformance]

Michelle: “would you like to see Conan’s moves?”
*average applause*
Michelle: “would you like to see me kick Conan’s butt?”
*enthusiastic applause*

[Chong]

Michelle is beautiful with brains ! She is a fantastic lady ! With kindness too ! I love her acting as well !

[jchoi]

Michelle Yeoh was absolutely stunning back then and all these years later, she still looks incredible, but the most amazing part is she seems like the most charming, down-to-earth person. That’s what puts her over the top

[TCReyes]

Michelle Yeoh has been an international treasure for decades

[Taijifufu]

I like how she hurt her back and was told she couldn't do anything strenuous again then went on to make movies with Jackie Chan, which is _exactly_ what Bruce Lee did too.
