62-year-old Michelle Yeoh won the Oscar for Best Actress in 2023 for starring in "Instant Universe", and she is the only Asian actor to win the award.
Michelle Yeoh is a Malaysian-Chinese, a Hong Kong action actress in the early days, acting in many action movies, and later went to Hollywood to develop.
Michelle Yeoh ushered in an even greater honor at the age of 62, receiving the U.S. Presidential Medal of Freedom, the highest honor for American civilians, presented by President Joe Biden himself, and the winner does not need to be a U.S. citizen. The White House called her efforts to break stereotypes and enrich America's multiculturalism while also enriching it. The award was established in 1963 by former President John F. Kennedy.
It is reported that Biden also misnamed Michelle Yeoh, calling Michelle Yeoh "Michael", which was later corrected to "Michelle". Biden may not be very familiar with Michelle Yeoh's English name, of course, he corrected the slip of the tongue in time, maybe he just wandered, after all, he is very old, and it is understandable to call the wrong name, but it is a little embarrassing.
Although Michelle Yeoh is Malaysian-Chinese, in fact, she was once more grateful to the Hong Kong film industry for giving her the opportunity to grow and change, after winning the Oscar for Best Actress, Michelle Yeoh appeared in Hong Kong with her husband and invited many colleagues, including Chow Yun-fat, Chan Ho-sin and Wu Junru and his wife.
After Michelle Yeoh won the Oscar for Best Actress, it was also rumored that she and Jean Todd were married, they have been in love for 19 years, with an age difference of 16 years, and the two will hold a wedding in July 2023.

After Michelle Yeoh won the award, she also performed in "Venice Night", "Miss Rubik's Cube", "Magic Bad Witch", "Star Trek: Area 31" and so on. Her career development is mainly in Hollywood, rarely performing in Hong Kong and the mainland, the coffee seat is too large, it may not be easy to invite performances, and she has no shortage of performance opportunities.
At this age, Michelle Yeoh has achieved fame without any regrets, and even broke the Oscar record and became the first Asian to win Best Actress.
No one would have imagined that the Chinese actor who will be out of the circle in 2023 would actually be Michelle Yeoh, after all, she has performed in Hong Kong for 34 years and has not won any acting awards, "Instant Universe" has won her more than ten awards, what she didn't expect is that the prototype of this movie is Jackie Chan, because of his resignation, which made Michelle Yeoh popular, it seems that some things are really difficult to say. Michelle Yeoh not only has a high status, but also is full of film and television, still loves acting, and is very popular.
Michelle Yeoh has won the honor that Chinese actors have not won for many years, everything lies in her perseverance and hard work, which is worthy of many juniors to study hard.
