Michelle Yeoh is embracing her new role as a grandmother and confesses that she will be spoiling her grandson. During an interview with People at the world premiere of Netflix’s “The Brothers Sun,” the actress, 61, talked about her baby grandson. She shared that she has yet to decide on what she wants her grandma’s name to be.
“No, not yet,” Yeoh responded when asked about what she wants her grandson, Maxime, to call her. She explained, “I want him to know his own name. Otherwise, he’s going to grow up thinking that’s his name.
Remember, if you say no too often to a child, they probably run around thinking my name must be ‘No,’ because every time someone sees me, he’s like, ‘No, no'” She also admitted she may spoil her grandson a bit too much, saying, “Spoiled for sure.”
