    By ANI

    GENEVA: Oscar-winning Malaysian actor Michelle Yeoh has tied the knot with longtime fiance Jean Todt, the former CEO of Ferrari, after a 19-year engagement, Page Six reported.

    Yeoh, who became the first Asian woman to win an Oscar in March, said “I do” in a small ceremony in Geneva, Switzerland on Thursday.

    The ‘Everything, Everywhere, All At Once’ actor and Todt were all smiles as they celebrated their big day with a few close friends, including Brazilian racing driver Felipe Massa.

    Felipe Massa shared photos from the wedding on Instagram with the caption, “Happy marriage!” #JeanTodt & #michelleyeoh adore you.”

    The first photo was of the couple’s wedding card, which highlighted romantic information about their love journey, as per PageSix.

    “On June 4, 2004, we met in Shanghai. “On July 26, 2004, J.T. proposed to M.Y and she said YES,” the card says.

    “Today, on the 27th of July 2023, after 6992 days, in Geneva, surrounded by loving family and friends, we are so happy to celebrate this special moment together.”

    The actor even held her Oscar statue as seen in her wedding photos.

    On the big day, Yeoh donned two outfits, a beige-town gown with a corset bodice and gold embellishments and a bridal white skirt with a white silk button-up shirt.

    Todt dressed up for the occasion in a blue suit.

    Yeoh met Todt for the first time in Shanghai, China, and told PageSix citing the Financial Times that meeting him was “like a fairytale.”

    Todt, who helped Ferrari win many world championships before taking over as FIA president until 2021, previously disclosed that Michael Schumacher had assisted him in sending his first-ever SMS message to Yeoh.

  • Oscar winner and 2015 Nepal quake survivor Michelle Yeoh has an India connect

    By IANS

    NEW DELHI: Malaysia-born Oscar winner Michelle Yeoh, who has become the first Asian woman to win the Academy Award for Best Actress for her multifaceted performance, survived the deadly earthquake that struck Nepal while she was visiting the landlocked Himalayan nation in April 2015.

    Yeoh, famous for her roles in the James Bond film ‘Tomorrow Never Dies’ and ‘Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon’, has won the Academy Award for Best Actress and made history for her role in ‘Everything, Everywhere All At Once’.

    Michelle Yeoh has an India connection, too. In the ‘background’ of her life is Buddhist leader Gyalwang Drukpa, the spiritual head of the Drukpa Order based in India with over 1,000 monasteries across the Himalayas.

    A disciple of His Holiness, in 2015, Michelle raised charity from Hollywood for Nepal earthquake victims on the advice of Gyalwang Drukpa for his ‘Live to Love’ foundation.

    At that time she was the brand ambassador of the foundation.

    With the earthquake, killing 9,000 people and causing massive destruction, Michelle was stranded in Nepal with fiance Jean Todt, then head of the International Automobile Federation (FIA), which governs the Formula One circuit.

    After the couple’s evacuation, she returned to the disaster-hit country again to help rehabilitate affected people.

    Gyalwang Drukpa is also the founder and spiritual director of the award-winning Druk White Lotus School in Ladakh, famous for being depicted as ‘Rancho’s school’ from Aamir Khan’s film ‘3 Idiots’.

    “Raising awareness for Nepal was and still is an important role for me. What’s happening is very real and there is so much work to be done to help rebuild the lives of the Nepalese,” the Malaysian actor, who believes her best performance is yet to come, had told IANS in an interview in post-quake.

    Quoting the spiritual leader, she had said: “Without appreciation, our life is like plastic. Not only do we have to remove the non-biodegradable rubbish from our external environment, we have to clear that from our mind too.”

    “Every little positive step we make individually, collectively we can make a huge difference. For me, this is what ‘Live to Love’ is about,” Michelle, who made her name as an action star in Hong Kong in 1990, had added.

    The honour at the 95th Academy Awards to her came after a long career in martial arts and action movies like ‘Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon’.

    “Ladies, don’t ever let anyone tell you that you are past your prime,” was an inspirational remark of Michelle at the award ceremony. “For all the little boys and girls who look like me watching tonight, this is a beacon of hope and possibility.”

    She recalled being so scared after the Nepal disaster that she left the country with a sense of helplessness.

    “We were so lucky that we were unhurt and able to go back home. I must say at that time, I didn’t feel that I could do anything for them. I felt as helpless as the other victims.

    “I was scared of the earth rattling. But when I left the place, I felt guilty. I thought I must go back. So a month after the disaster, I reached there again as the brand ambassador of the ‘Live to Love’ foundation of His Holiness Gyalwang Drukpa,” she told IANS.

    The actor, who stars as Burmese democracy icon Aung San Suu Kyi in ‘The Lady’ directed by Luc Besson, also wanted to focus on climate change.

    “Global warming is a big issue now, it’s threatening humanity. All this can be changed if we begin to have a little appreciation and a little more understanding about the interconnectivity between nature and us.”

    Asked about her role in Aung San Suu Kyi’s biopic, she had told IANS: “Out of deep respect to Daw Suu (Suu Kyi) and the people of Burma, we did our utmost to stay true to her story,” although for better story-telling, “some liberties had be to taken.”

    The former Miss Malaysia has also been involved in the fight against AIDS for many years.

    She was also the UNDP Goodwill Ambassdor for Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

    “It’s a spiritual journey for me every time. This land of high mountain passes always reminds me of a stronghold of Buddhist art, culture and spirituality and this spirit of purity is rarely seen elsewhere in the world,” she had told IANS at the famed 17th century Hemis monastery, where she came to attend the Naropa festival, a celebration of the 1,000th birth anniversary of the great Indian saint Naropa.

    Buddhist leader Gyalwang Drukpa heads the 17th-century Hemis monastery, some 40 km from Leh.

    The action heroine, who believes Buddhism is a philosophy, had said that the UNDP was working closely with ministries across the globe. “We are advocating that if we build safe roads now, you don’t have to come back 10 years later to correct the mistakes and after so many lives have been lost. So we have to work very closely with different departments.”

  • Simu Liu criticises Disney CEO Bob Chapek over calling ‘Shang-Chi’ an ‘interesting experiment’

    By PTI

    LOS ANGELES: Actor Simu Liu, who headlines “Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings”, has hit out at Disney CEO Bob Chapek for terming the upcoming Marvel superhero film an “experiment” for the studio.

    According to The Hollywood Reporter, Chapek made the comment during an earnings call on Thursday while discussing the company’s future plans for theatrical releases, calling Shang-Chi “an interesting experiment for us” as the film only has a 45-day theatrical window.

    Directed by Destin Daniel Cretton, “Shang-Chi” will be released theatrically on September 3.

    Also starring Awkwafina, Ronny Chieng, Tony Leung and Michelle Yeoh, the film will arrive on the company’s streamer Disney Plus 45 days after its release in cinema halls.

    Liu, who plays the titular martial arts superhero Shang-Chi, dismissed Chapek’s remarks on Twitter Saturday saying the film is “not an experiment” but a “celebration of culture and joy” in these testing times.

    We are not an experiment.We are the underdog; the underestimated. We are the ceiling-breakers. We are the celebration of culture and joy that will persevere after an embattled year.We are the surprise.I’m fired the f**k up to make history on September 3rd; JOIN US. pic.twitter.com/IcyFzh0KIb

    “We are not an experiment. We are the underdog; the underestimated. We are the ceiling-breakers. We are the celebration of culture and joy that will persevere after an embattled year. We are the surprise,” the Chinese-Canadian actor said.

    “I’m fired the f*** up to make history on September 3rd; JOIN US,” Liu, 32, added in his tweet.

    “Shang-Chi” marks Disney’s second live-action tentpole featuring Asian leads released amid the pandemic.

    The first was “Mulan”, which was released on September 4, 2020 and was made available on Disney Plus Premier Access the same day.
