Michelle Yeoh dishes on playing ‘ordinary’ character in ‘Everything Everywhere All at Once’

Michelle Yeoh after making headlines with her impressive performance in Everything Everything All at Once, dished on portraying the ‘very ordinary’ character.

The 59-year-old Malaysian actor, whose genre-defying fantasy is setting up the record straight, recently got together with People to talk about her latest release.

“Every time I make a movie, I hope the audience discovers something new about me,” she told the magazine.

Yeoh also expressed, “What I enjoyed doing [in Everything Everywhere All at Once] was the physical comedy, which I've not done before.”

“You've seen me in martial arts films — I'm always serene. I know exactly what I'm doing. I am the teacher, the mentor. And suddenly in this one, [my character] Evelyn Wang, she knows nothing,” she explained.

“She's a very ordinary, ageing housewife who's got so many troubles in her head. It was really fun,” Yeoh added.
