When they were filming Kill Bill Vol. 1 and 2, Michelle Yeoh had the idea that she could be one of the villains in the iconic movie. Well, in an interview with Town & Country cover story, Yeoh revealed that Tarantino had some high regards for the Malaysian actress!
He’s very smart. He said, ‘Who would believe that Uma Thurman could kick your a*s?’
She further continued,
I must say, Quentin, he’s persistent. He is who he is today because he’s full of passion and love, so he wore me down. Suddenly we became animated. So then I thought, ‘Maybe I’m not ready to give up on this’.
It was because of Tarantino that Michelle Yeoh went on to win an Oscar for Best Actress in a Leading Role in the 2022 film Everything Everywhere All At Once.
Yeoh was last seen in the 2024 Netflix series The Brothers Sun, which got canceled after 8 episodes. On the other hand, Yeoh’s upcoming Blade Runner 2099 has been hyped up by fans for quite some time, but a release date has not been revealed yet.
