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.
She doesn't get enough props. She's done almost as many psycho stunts as Jackie & has been seriously hurt & almost died as well. I'll never forget seeing her fall off during the highway car fight & she almost got completely ran over by a car.
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!
Yes, she's been a global action star since the 90's. People nowadays even forget she was an official Bond girl in Tomorrow Never Dies in '97. People do mention Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, but she was already super famous before that, lol.
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.
I would argue she's already been at the top of the Hollywood ladder for years. Her international stardom made her a Bond Girl, which is gigantic publicity, or at least it was for 90s America.
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
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...
Michelle is the greatest chinese actress of all time in my opinion. i liked Zhang Ziyi alot as well, but shes done so many horrible things and shes a really horrible person in real life. Michelle is a class act at all times.
OMG this episode is amazing! Michelle Yeoh is just gorgeous, she aged gracefully. Conan looked like he hasn't changed a bit, and Andy was and still is the best sidekick in late night shows.
Watched Everything Everywhere last night. It was SO good. So different than what I was expecting. It was so hyped up I was really scared that it wouldn’t live up to expectations, but it was so, so good.
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.
Woah you can checkout Michelle 's even younger movies before her failed 1st marriage. HK movies- -'Yes Madam' if I remembered correctly! The 'Super Cop' she did with Jackie was after a long break!
Was always a lifetime fan of old-school Jackie Chan movies, and I watched this the other night. They have such a great dynamic and she’s such a badass in it!!!🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
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
"How do you put up with him? He's bad!" That's the sign Conan is the best of late nite talk shows. I laugh from how funny it is, then I keep laughing from how delightful and cute everyone is.
Imagine being an Asian actor in the 90s and not being able to work because if you're Asian and don't know how to fight or do extreme stuff you don't get a job and also do not get insurance
Michelle is absolutely graceful and beautiful at any age. I had never heard of her before and one day watching her playing a role in The King and I, seeing her cries outpouring in a very long Thai monologue and I am then convinced that she is the world class star, I mean, how can you do such intense foreign language burst and the native speaker impressed!!! Try me crying in Portuguese in front of Portuguese people 😒 She is hot even as of today, in my admiration.
Omg you guys!!! The second I heard Halle Berry’s name, I started SCREAMING!!! I knew there was no way she was gonna say ANY other name than Michelle Yeoh! You can’t have the first WOC EVER to win up there without it be for the sole purpose to bestow the golden statue upon the second WOC EVER! 20 years later! It was EPIC! I was losing my mind! Wasn’t last night THE BEST?! That was the best Oscars in a long time. EEAAO fkn KILLED IT! I’m so happy for all of them!!!!!
To have such stage presence in any language (with fluency) and any setting takes incredible talent and intelligence. Not to mention her captivating beauty and athleticism. She is beyond the full package. Even for her legendary status now, she is still underrated in Hollywood. I admire her a lot if you can’t tell🥰
Michelle Yeoh is easily one of my favorite actresses, yo know if she is in the movie her character is always very well portrayed and believable. And she seems like such a wonderful and kind person
Michelle has Keanu's enthusiasm in this conversation. Over this conversation, Michelle did carry herself well and does not shy in sharing her experiences. I bet she has more stories to share.
What a lively and energetic young spirit. Even today still not missing a single beat, result of years worth of consistency and determination no doubt. That’s why we’re lucky to have such amazing talent like Conan. Oh and Michelle’s good too
I have loved her since Tomorrow Never Dies. I watched her with much admiration in that Bond film. In my eyes, she'd never be wrong in any movie or series.
all I have to say is watch Supercop 3.... that's what shes promoting here, her performance is pure physical genius and it has some of the best stunts ever captured on film
I think it was Supercop 2. Back then, it took a few years for hong kong movies to appear over in the usa as they released it due to Jackie Chan's popularity. Rumble in the Bronz has a famous HK singer Anita Mui who passed away years later with cancer.
What's the point of touching him with those kicks! You don't touch in this type of stunt, she could watch and learn from Jean Claude Van Dam doing such things during public shows.
Michelle Yeoh exudes elegance and class. A true icon of cinema.
Cool video! Wow, Conan is TALL!
So beautiful.
Michelle Yeoh is class and hottt
@@pownbnull She's ONE of the examples of "class", but not exactly "class" itself though lol.
indeed
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.
She's funny and elegant and she did her own stunts...
After watching this video and reading this comment I was getting a Leo vibe from her. I went and checked and yeah she's a Leo. Lol
Yes she is, which is why I find it hard to believe she has stage fright. She is so nature at talking to people. Gotta love Michelle Yeoh!!! 😎😍🤩😱
@@masercot Jackie Chan agrees.
@@adu1991 After that stunt she did with the motorcycle and the train in Supercop, I imagine he would...
She's a living legend. If u watch some of her early movies, u be shock on good her action scenes were.
Facts!
She doesn't get enough props. She's done almost as many psycho stunts as Jackie & has been seriously hurt & almost died as well. I'll never forget seeing her fall off during the highway car fight & she almost got completely ran over by a car.
Yeaa especially in Yes Madam :-)
I love watching her movies.
Has anyone ever seen the heroic trio, that's my favorite movie
She's still such a beauty 25 years later. An impressive actor and great action film star
Original airplay is 1996, in case u mistaken.
Shes born 1962. what a beautiful 60th years old lady
My jaw literally dropped when I found out she was 60… she’s barely hard since this interview
She was Miss Malaysia in 1983.
I think she got better with age to be honest
She was so fantastic in Everything Everywhere All At Once
Boring millenial opinion...
She always was.
Very keen to see that. I’m jealous of the concept, I’ve wanted to write the same kind of story for ages
I saw it 3 times, it gets better every time
@@thesprawl2361 The Daniels somehow made a movie about everything and it worked.
It was amazing
She is such a fantastic actress.
Best Bond girl.
I've read all her books 😆
She was a dope Bond girl!
*One* of the best Bond girls, Halle Berry is another one that certainly can't be left out of the conversation at all.
As Michelle herself said it, she was never a Bond girl. She was the Asian female James Bond..
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!
Yes, she's been a global action star since the 90's. People nowadays even forget she was an official Bond girl in Tomorrow Never Dies in '97. People do mention Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, but she was already super famous before that, lol.
As well as the 80's era. She was known for 1985's Hong Kong flick, "Yes, Madam"
she's having a renaissance lately. and we're all here for it!
You should see her husband I don't think you'll respect her as much.
@@JoeBuck207 which husband r u referring ? Why u said so?
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.
I would argue she's already been at the top of the Hollywood ladder for years. Her international stardom made her a Bond Girl, which is gigantic publicity, or at least it was for 90s America.
And she now won the Golden Globe for that. Well deserved
Yup!!!
You called it...Oscar winner.
She is amazing in all her roles.
I haven't seen a single movie with her where i have ever been disapointed in her performance.
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
What was her first big movie?
@@GizmoMaltese Yes,Madam!
@@samwang5831 in my opinion the best of hers
Michelle Yeoh legendary icon, long-overdue for her deserved awards. Give her that damn Oscar.
Why are people always so hung up on Oscar awards? It’s all proven to be BS
@@1234KeithB It's all about the SAG awards - actors recognizing actors.
@@jy5490 yep no different than the manager’s favorite winning employee of the month (again)
...or she'll slap the shit outta you! 🤣
Oscar is worthless
She's so delightful. So charismatic and friendly
nowadays, female celebrities just have beauties.
Michelle had charisma and beauty.
@@SteveAustin-mo2ve she's still alive
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...
Michelle’s charisma is insane… crazy how this interview was over 20 years ago and she has barely aged
Michelle is the greatest chinese actress of all time in my opinion.
i liked Zhang Ziyi alot as well, but shes done so many horrible things and shes a really horrible person in real life. Michelle is a class act at all times.
@@SteveAustin-mo2ve Michelle's Malaysian :-)
@@mikerconway whatever she is, she was smokin hot
Hollywood procedures are the best, you check out Lorri Hill vids on what people get done, it's amazing the human body can take such abuse lol
she's aged 40 years mate lol. She's 60 now.
Michelle: “would you like to see Conan’s moves?”
*average applause*
Michelle: “would you like to see me kick Conan’s butt?”
*enthusiastic applause*
Okay? And what's your point?
@@christophernicholson20 either You too What's your Point?
@@christophernicholson20 im sorry that u dont get the joke
thats the loyalty he's built up over 3 years XD
Conan’s moves were more impressive. Wouldn’t want to fight that guy, for all his goofiness he is a huge guy.
My God what a dreamy sophisticated woman...you can't take your eyes off of her
I think neither could Conan.
IKR? She's absolutely gorgeous!
That was my first reaction, MY. GOD. She's so poised and tough and such an inspiration.
the kick then hug was so CUTE, what a delight this is
Michelle is beautiful with brains ! She is a fantastic lady ! With kindness too ! I love her acting as well !
Absolutely .
Too bad she and her family are supporting the corrupted regime in Malaysia, that’s a stain on her image
That is true.
If she doesn't SWEEP Best Actress for Everything Everywhere All At Once, we riot!
RIOT!!! ♥️✨
We riot so hard
What's one more rioter.....
Which city is gonna be ?
Pick a place, bro
This is the first interview I've seen of her, she has a great personality.
Michelle Yeoh has been an international treasure for decades
OMG this episode is amazing! Michelle Yeoh is just gorgeous, she aged gracefully. Conan looked like he hasn't changed a bit, and Andy was and still is the best sidekick in late night shows.
Wow first time watching Tan Sri Michelle Yeoh interview in Conan, truly a Malaysian treasure. Loved that they are both legends in their field.
Malaysia boleh
I just wanna see her chakap melayu
He can literally put his chin on top of her head and she threw a kick up to that hairless wookie's face. Impressive
She’s aged like a fine wine.
True. Although this footage of a young Michelle is still a great reminder of how stunning she was.
I prefer aged like blue cheese.
Watched Everything Everywhere last night. It was SO good. So different than what I was expecting. It was so hyped up I was really scared that it wouldn’t live up to expectations, but it was so, so good.
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.
I've never seen younger Michelle Yeoh before, she's so hot! Still elegant & beautiful to this day 😄
And she's practically 34 here. She's aged so gracefully.
Woah you can checkout Michelle 's even younger movies before her failed 1st marriage. HK movies- -'Yes Madam' if I remembered correctly! The 'Super Cop' she did with Jackie was after a long break!
Damn, Conan is really friggin tall and Michelle Yeoh could kick his head
Was always a lifetime fan of old-school Jackie Chan movies, and I watched this the other night. They have such a great dynamic and she’s such a badass in it!!!🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
Wow.. now I know why she won Miss Malaysia pageant back then! Great personality too!
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

She is the whole package!! I’m so happy she won an Oscar, she totally deserved it!❤
Love Michelle Yeoh! So professional and just so humble! She ROCKS!!
She is without a doubt the hottest woman in film. Conan O'Brien is VERY lucky to get a hug from her!
I've had a crush on her for years. She made Star Trek Discovery better because of her performance.
totally agree with you
Michelle is absolutely graceful and beautiful at any age. I had never heard of her before and one day watching her playing a role in The King and I, seeing her cries outpouring in a very long Thai monologue and I am then convinced that she is the world class star, I mean, how can you do such intense foreign language burst and the native speaker impressed!!!
Try me crying in Portuguese in front of Portuguese people 😒
She is hot even as of today, in my admiration.
Memoirs of a Geisha; She was Amazing! To be Chinese and portray Japanese; believably was the Extraordinary part!
She was not in The King and I?????
She's pushing 60 now and is STILL a damned handsome woman.
Omg she's so naturally flirty hahahah no way conan came out without at least a little bit of a crush😂
If she doesn’t win the Oscar later this year AND the Golden Globe tonight for Best Actress… I’m gonna lose my damn mind. This woman is a goddess.
One out of two so far! 👏🏼
Two for two 😍
yayyyy 2 for 2 😊😊 🏆🏆
Omg you guys!!! The second I heard Halle Berry’s name, I started SCREAMING!!! I knew there was no way she was gonna say ANY other name than Michelle Yeoh!

@@PneumaNoose You really called it 👌🏻
Crouching tiger is still one of my favourite films ever. It still makes me well up at the end
You should watch her underrated Reign of the Assassins too. It's almost as good as Crouching Tiger
@@amorserenade2872 Will have a look, thanks 👍
I still think Hero/House Of Flying Daggers are the best martial arts movies since Crouching Tiger
@@thesprawl2361 Yes! Agree with u 100% there!
Such a beautiful film.
It's really sad that it's taken Hollywood how many years since Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon to appreciate her talents.
From Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon to Now, this girl is Everything Everywhere All At Once. Love this woman!
Michelle Yeoh is a legend. Pure class.
So sweet how she greets both Conan and Andy
To have such stage presence in any language (with fluency) and any setting takes incredible talent and intelligence. Not to mention her captivating beauty and athleticism. She is beyond the full package. Even for her legendary status now, she is still underrated in Hollywood. I admire her a lot if you can’t tell🥰
To this day in 2022 … Michelle is still an amazing actor and athlete.
Indeed
Michelle Yeoh is easily one of my favorite actresses, yo know if she is in the movie her character is always very well portrayed and believable.
And she seems like such a wonderful and kind person
I can’t believe how incredibly great she looks at almost 60yrs of age!!
She’s a great actress (not only in martial arts movies)
She is special, one of a kind 👌
Ladies and gents, Oscar winner, Michelle Yeoh!
She just won the Oscar 2023
She sounds like a girl Bruce Lee. The way she speaks. Something about it. Sounds so similar.
Who’s here after she won the Oscar for best actress?
Michelle is a legend! Her martial arts skills are amazing! Those kicks were awesome!
Love how she’s getting more recognition in the US! Been a huge fan of hers since Crouching Tiger ❤
If you old enough to notice Michelle Yeoh crown Miss Malaysia 🇲🇾 back in 1983 at the age of 21 🤩
She is amazing!! I love Michelle Yeoh! And I really love her voice! She is sooooo COOL! 😎
Tahniah tan sri michelle yeoh of coz the best actress oscar
That fact she did those kicks in them heels shows how awesome she is🤩
Always loved Michelle. Supercop is one of my all time favorites.
She just won an oscar ❤
I love Michelle Yeoh! elegant, beautiful, and kickass.
Such a gorgeous woman! It's nice to see her sense of humor and true self, because I'm used to her playing very serious characters.
Michelle has Keanu's enthusiasm in this conversation. Over this conversation, Michelle did carry herself well and does not shy in sharing her experiences. I bet she has more stories to share.
“Unload on Conan” was such an innocent statement back then
What a lively and energetic young spirit. Even today still not missing a single beat, result of years worth of consistency and determination no doubt. That’s why we’re lucky to have such amazing talent like Conan. Oh and Michelle’s good too
Michelle looked so young here, this was back in 1996, almost 26 years ago.
She is good at everything she does.It is not her beauty that surpasses her acting skills.
After 30 long years, she got awarded by the Academy.
Michelle has aristocratic modesty. I love her style
"That was real train, those are trees moving out there!" was great, deserved a laugh
"This isnt water". Just impeccable timing and delivery. Class!
gosh, she's pretty. he's charmed
gosh! her proportions!! how alluring
gosh!! her hair!! so shining and flowing
Hate how Conan just cuts her every time he gets
She’s so beautiful. And I love young, awkward Conan.
Came here after she won the Oscar for Lead Actress 🎉🎉
Conan is the Gold standard of Comedy! Simply love him and his humor.
She still looks beautiful and gorgeous after decades..
This woman hàs been my girlfriend since I was a child, she just doesnt know it lol
Fall in line buddy lol
I am crushing. she is simply the best.
She has so much star quality even back in these early days. I look forward to seeing all her future projects.
Proof again that the 90s were the best!!!
I would like to pretend this is an interview for her new movie. Everything, Everywhere , All At Once.
Conan missed a joke there.
Michelle: Make sure you stand still.
Conan: YES ! MADAM !
Conan legit got scared with the face swipe (she legit told him not to move)
This interview was 4 days before I was born. To think Michelle yeoh has hardly aged.
I have loved her since Tomorrow Never Dies. I watched her with much admiration in that Bond film. In my eyes, she'd never be wrong in any movie or series.
She hasn’t reached her prime yet.
She is actually a very flexible trained dancer, who picked up by samo hung and adapted her skills into martial arts movies!
women to man i dont wanna hurt you kind of embarassing
Thank you. But can you please explain what you meant?
all I have to say is watch Supercop 3.... that's what shes promoting here, her performance is pure physical genius and it has some of the best stunts ever captured on film
She needs to team up with Tom Cruise for a mission impossible movie.
I loved this! I don’t think I’ve ever seen her at this stage of her acting. Was this for Rumble in the Bronks? Damn she looks gorgeous too!
I think it was Supercop 2. Back then, it took a few years for hong kong movies to appear over in the usa as they released it due to Jackie Chan's popularity. Rumble in the Bronz has a famous HK singer Anita Mui who passed away years later with cancer.
She wasn’t in Rumble In the Bronx.
I have yet too see a movie or tv show where she isn't absolutely amazing. This woman is a bona fide badass.
Which movie is this?
@@Pr0x1mo
the stunt with the helicopter she describes is from _Supercop_
She was and still is so talented, charming and sexy!
She was so charming :D
Conan is hands down the best talk show host I’ve seen in my lifetime so far.
Even Simpsons was better when he wrote for them back then
He's there with Graham Norton.
