When we talk about Malaysian celebrities, many of us tend to overlook the fact that we have our very own local talents doing well abroad.
Yesterday (6 Dec), we mentioned how Yuna&rsquo;s music is booming with success on the international stage and this time we have another Malaysian who&rsquo;s achieved something amazing.

Michelle Yeoh Dubbed As Time Magazine&rsquo;s Icon Of The Year
The widely acclaimed and acting legend Tan Sri Michelle Yeoh can now add another achievement to her list as she is named Time Magazine&rsquo;s Icon of The Year. This award was given to her after Time Magazine had also listed her as one of the Most influential People of 2022 alongside Tim Cook, Oprah Winfrey as well as Squid Game creator Hwang Dong-hyuk.

&nbsp;
In 2022, she&rsquo;s made quite a big impact in the international stage as she was involved in voice acting for multiple films such as The School Of Good and Evil, Minions: The Rise of Gru, Paws Of Fury: The Legend of Hank and soon, she&rsquo;ll be in the upcoming Avatar: The Way Of Water.
If you&rsquo;re looking to watch her absurdist-comedy hit, you can check out Everything, Everywhere, All At Once where she will be playing a jaded laundromat owner named Evelyn Quan Wang.

&nbsp;
In fact, with the success she&rsquo;s had, she is now a crowd favourite to receive an Oscar for her work in the film!
"When you get an opportunity like this, you have to pour your heart and soul into it, because you don't know when the next chance is. I think that is my biggest fear: Please don't let this be the one and only,&rdquo; said Yeoh.
Throwing Back To Where It All Started
Michelle Yeoh had ventured into the Hollywood Industry in the 1980s as she started in many films such as popular Hong Kong films Crouching Tiger and Hidden Dragon. Other than that, she was also acting along side other film legends such as Jackie Chan, Maggie Cheung as well as the late Anita Mui.

&nbsp;
Yeoh shared that the films at the time were not all on the top of the call sheet as Asian performers had tend to find themselves stuck in minor or even clich&eacute; roles.
&ldquo;It shouldn&rsquo;t be about my race, but it has been a battle. At least let me try,&rdquo; said Yeoh.
One of her more iconic roles was in 1997 when she starred in the James Bond flick, Tomorrow Never Dies as the Bond girl Wai Lin alongside Piece Brosnan.

&nbsp;
Since then, she has seen a lot of success in major blockbuster films and not to forget her role as Eleanor Young in Crazy Rich Asians alongside Henry Golding.

&nbsp;
Next year, we will be seeing Michelle Yeoh on the big screen again as she will be playing in 'A Haunting in Venice' which is directed by Kenneth Branagh.
A huge congratulations to Michelle Yeoh! Hopefully his achievement can also lift the spirits of Malaysians to fulfil their dreams of making it to the big stage internationally one day as well.
