Bentley is proud to announce that Oscar-winning actor and producer Michelle Yeoh as a global brand ambassador. This was made official by the British luxury brand weeks after unveiling the Torcal, Bentley's first-ever luxury EV.

Michelle Yeoh’s relationship with Bentley echoes that of her husband, Jean Todt, whose love of Bentleys includes a 1965 Continental S3, a 2019 Mulsanne, and a 2025 Flying Spur Speed 1st Edition. Through this appointment, Bentley formalizes Yeoh’s long-standing relationship with the marque, welcoming her to its growing family of global brand ambassadors.

“Over more than four decades on screen, from Hong Kong action cinema to Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, to the worlds I've explored in Everything Everywhere All at Once, I've always been drawn to stories about transformation, about characters who evolve without losing who they are at their core. Bentley embodies that same idea: a brand that has reinvented itself again and again while staying true to its craftsmanship and its soul. That's why this partnership feels so natural to me. Torcal represents Bentley's next chapter, and I'm honored to be part of telling that story,” said Yeoh.

Meanwhile, Bentley Marketing Director Ben Whattam shared that Yeoh embodies Bentley's high-performance spirit and the dedication to the craft that has been perfected over decades.

“An action star, Bond icon and global legend, Yeoh embodies Bentley’s high-performance spirit and the dedication to craft perfected over decades. Announcing her role as a global brand ambassador alongside the launch of our new Torcal, we hope to bring to life the confidence, character and ambition that define Bentley today,” added Whattam.

Yeoh established herself in Hong Kong in the 1980s and became one of Asia’s most successful actors known for performing her own stunts in films. She has starred in more than fifty films, including global hits like James Bond's “Tomorrow Never Dies”, Oscar-winning “Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon”, “Memoirs of a Geisha”, “Sunshine”, “The Lady”, “Crazy Rich Asians”, Marvel smash hit “Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings”, sci-fi franchise TV series “Star Trek: Discovery” and blockbuster musical “Wicked”.

Through her films, she has challenged the traditional views of Asian women by creating very strong female roles. In 2023, she made history with “Everything Everywhere All at Once”, becoming the first Asian woman to win the Academy Award for Best Actress. Her latest works include “The Surgeon”, “Blade Runner 2099” and “The Wandering Earth III”.
