Jean Todt and Michelle Yeoh, how they met

This is a beacon of hope and possibility: it proves that dreams do come true and don’t let anyone tell you that you are past a certain age, ever, Michelle’s speech after receiving the award. Yes, the age. That in her romance with Jean Todt could have been an obstacle but in reality it did not prove to be such. The two met during Jean’s experience in Ferrari, in 2004, in Shanghai, at a Scuderia event. She returned from a marriage gone bad with Sir Dickson PoonHong Kong businessman and luxury goods retail billionaire (married 1988, separated after three years).

A short period of time during which Michelle decides to interrupt her career as an actress before making a comeback again in 1993 with Police Story 3: Supercop. And before finding love exactly. Michelle doesn’t drive (I’m hopeless. I took my license and put it in a safe, he joked several times), he loves the ex-Ferrari CEO’s wit. And also his blue eyes: Marriage? Count the number of days instead of years. I will ask him: “What is the gift for 6,725 days?”, She explained in an interview with Town & Country.
