Michelle Yeoh and Pierce Brosnan toured Hong Kong to promote the latest James Bond movie, Tomorrow Never Dies.
Yeoh said that being the first Chinese Bond girl had put her under a lot of pressure. However, her performance did not let anyone down.
What is more, she was selected by Entertainment magazine as rating among the 100 most beautiful actresses and was given the seal of approval by the film's director, Roger Spottiswoode.
'It was a golden opportunity for me to work with the Hollywood heavyweights and helped me to win a ticket to Hollywood's mainstream,' she said.
For her next American production, Yeoh said she would prefer to be cast in a more intellectual film.
That means no more high-kicking action movies for a while.
Mark Lui Chun-tak and Stephen Fung Tak-lum of pop group Dry have criticised a male singer who they say always manages to stand in front of them when photographs are taken.
