Michelle Yeoh’s career has taken many turns. She’s been a beauty queen, a ballerina, a movie star, and then a movie star again. Now, she’s an early favorite for an Oscar nomination, thanks to her powerful performance in Everything Everywhere All At Once.
The press tour for the genre- and multiverse-hopping film has already led to the Malaysian-born martial arts veteran sharing a number of remarkable anecdotes from her past projects, such as jumping between moving vehicles for Supercop and Quentin Tarantino encouraging her to not give up acting after she was sidelined by an injury. Now, in a new cover story for Town & Country, Yeoh and Tarantino offer up some new details about their friendship.
