Max Zhang honoured to work with Michelle Yeoh

15 Nov – Martial arts actor Max Zhang recently admitted that he was thankful to be given the opportunity to work with Michelle Yeoh in the new movie, "Master Z: The Ip Man Legacy".

As reported on Singtao, the actor, who spoke about his cooperation with Michelle recently, shared that the said movie is not actually the first film he has done with Michelle, although it is the first of them working as co-stars.

"17 years ago, I worked as a stunt double in "Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon". I even accidentally kicked her in one scene," he said.

Max admitted that he has always been a fan of the Malaysian actress, whom he said possessed presence, agility and beauty.

"She seems delicate but actually pack quite a punch. She is also very professional and would insist on performing her stunts on her own despite the risk of injuries and scars," he added.

On the other hand, Michelle also admitted that Max was one of the reasons why she accepted the offer to do the movie.

"Watching him going from behind the camera to the front, and winning Best Supporting Role at the Hong Kong Film Awards proved that he is very talented and hardworking," she said.
