It was her movieCrazy Rich Asiansthat really got me excited about acting again.
Being on set with her was just a dream.
She’s so fun to be around.

She’s generous, she’s kind, and it was just incredible.
Was that okay?"
If you look at Michelle’s career, she’s never really played a character like Evelyn.
She’s always played that heroine, the queen.
She would have her back straight, she would walk very elegantly.
And life isn’t going that well for her.
She played it so well.
To be on the set, and witness her give that performance, was incredible.
