Sunday TODAY: Michelle Yeoh’s mom says ‘If you’re going to the Oscars, you must not wear pants’

This weekend on “Sunday TODAY,” Willie Geist sat down with Oscar-nominated actor Michelle Yeoh, who opened up about working on “Everything Everywhere All at Once” with her co-stars, including Jamie Lee Curtis. “We were cast and crew, but we ended up as family.” 

Yeoh told Geist, “She [Jamie Lee Curtis] brings a different gravitas to the whole process of it. And she is so generous as a human being, not just with work, but purely as a human being. Just love, all the way through, always, you know, encouraging, always supportive.” 

She also spoke about her relationship with her mom and the advice she gave for the Academy Awards this weekend. She joked, “She just called me the other day, ‘If you’re going to the Oscars, you must not wear pants.’… So, I was so naughty. I left her a message, ‘Oh Mom, no. We tailor-made the tuxedo for me, so I’m wearing pants to the Oscars.’”
