One of the most well-known international stars, Jackie Chan is renowned for his comedic acrobatic fighting style, humorous timing, and daring exploits. Because of his gregarious and friendly demeanour, his followers adore being around him. Michelle Yeoh, on the other hand, felt otherwise about him.
Yeoh is now enjoying the limelight after receiving a nomination for Best Actress at the 95th Academy Awards for her amazing portrayal of Evelyn Quan Wang in the film Everything Everywhere All at Once. We came upon an old interview with the actress who played Supercop talking about Jakie Chan.
In the previous interview, Michelle Yeoh openly attacked Jackie Chan. She called Jackie Chan a “male chauvinistic pig” and expressed her ire at his contentious assertions and statements. She even told the Rush Hour actor some unvarnished truths. The host and comedian David Letterman questioned the Malaysian actress during her appearance on his show if Jackie had introduced her to the movie industry. Actually, he’s a masculine chauvinistic pig, she said, laughing it off. We have a great friendship, Jackie and I. I tell him this, you understand? in front of him. Except for Michelle, he has always believed that women should remain at home, cook, and otherwise abdicate responsibility.
Michelle Yeoh didn’t stop there; she continued by saying that Jackie Chan is aware that she has the ability to kick him in the butt if he meddles with her excessively. Except for Michelle, she said, “he said I’d kick his butt.” Yeoh became famous in the early 1990s for pulling off her own stunts in the Hong Kong action movies that made her famous. In addition to romantic comedies like Crazy Rich Asians (2018) and Last Christmas, she has acted in movies like Memoirs of a Geisha (2005), Reign of Assassins (2010), Kung Fu Panda 2 (2011), Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon: Sword of Destiny (2016), and others (2019).
The Malaysian-Chinese actress appeared in Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings from Marvel (2021).
