'I love the martial arts we did, but I’ll admit, when I had to do that butt-plug fight—oh my god.' MichelleYeoh tells PaulGiamatti about her ridiculous but fun stunts in her latest film allatoncemovie.
GIAMATTI: There’s an incredible improvised feel to the movie, like it’s making itself up as it goes along. Random shit is happening, and you’re like, “Where the hell is this going to go next?” But it was obviously tightly controlled. It must have been like that on the page.
GIAMATTI: That’s smart. In the movie I’m doing now, my character’s name is Paul. I get very thrown by it. But there’s just the right amount of references to you being a martial arts star. YEOH: I know! When my character is going through the multiverse and trying to learn all these skills, the one thing the Daniels told me was, “Don’t look like you know what you’re doing.” I was like, “I’ve spent years mastering that calm, serene look. Now you want me to look confused while I’m fighting?”YEOH: A little with Stephanie [Hsu], who is so brilliant. She’d do one thing, and then she’d do something completely different, which was great for my character, because she’s always confused.
GIAMATTI: Nothing like this has ever existed before. But you put your finger on the thing that’s really true—how fast everything’s happening.What people are consuming and the amount of it isn’t necessarily great, but the speed that it’s coming at people is really bad.GIAMATTI: You can lose touch, for sure. Are you still doing most of your own stunts?
GIAMATTI: Well, I sure look at you and think you’re invincible. Did the transition to being an actor feel natural, too? You were already a performer, and I feel like for people who come from the discipline of dance, there’s a natural path because you already have a mastery of expressing yourself, body-wise.YEOH: When I was doing my degree in dance, for one of my credits, I took drama. I thought, “This will help with my body language.” Then I discovered stage fright, which I never thought I had.
