Everything Everywhere All at Once actor Michelle Yeoh dropped by Jimmy Kimmel Live! to chat about the similarities between action sequences and dancing, as well as what it was like to dangle from a helicopter for a photo shoot in 1998. But mostly Yeoh spoke about her critically acclaimed new film, which definitely sounds like one of those movies that's best gone into cold.
"I was really blown away by the fact that the superhero was this ordinary, ageing, Asian immigrant woman," said Yeoh, speaking of her character in Everything Everywhere All at Once.
"I was so impressed by the fact that they are giving such a voice to this woman," Yeoh continued. "I mean, we pass this mother, auntie, grandmother, going to the supermarket or in Chinatown every day. And we would never notice them because they are fixated on just going home, cooking for their family, and doing the things for their children or their husbands. So it was wonderful that I had the opportunity to give this woman a loud voice and let her be a superhero."
Everything Everywhere All at Once is in theatres now.
