LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Michelle Yeoh would like her grandson to wait a little before watching her perform in the latest ‘Wicked’ film.

The Oscar winner was present at the Los Angeles premiere of her Netflix series ‘The Brothers Sun' and got candid while answering questions related to her musical series.



 

Michelle Yeoh was nervous about her vocal abilities

When asked what movies she’d like her little grandson to watch first, she responded, “I was thinking, I’ve done a musical, ‘Wicked.’ … I play a witch. What is not going to traumatize them? Maybe not one of my movies. Until they’re older.”

The 61-year-old also joked about her singing abilities in the ‘Wicked’ film. “I say, ‘Good luck to you all,'” she joked.

She earlier said, “I went in thinking this is going to be so scary — they’re going to recast me when they hear me. But I am having so much fun!”
