In a new interview with US Elle magazine, Tan Sri Michelle Yeoh disclosed that she once thought of giving up acting.

This was back in 1996 when she was shooting the Cantonese movie The Stunt Woman. The Malaysian actress had injured herself during the shoot and almost broke her back. While recuperating, she thought about her future in acting.
