Malaysian international superstar Datuk Michelle Yeoh has been blacklisted by Myanmar
According to the Associated Press (AP), an official from the military-backed Myanmar government said the Malaysian actress arrived in Yangon on June 22, and was deported the same day because she has been blacklisted.
However, the official - who declined to be named because he was not authorised to speak to the press - did not reveal the reason for the deportation.
The shocking ban came four months before the release of The Lady, which is directed by acclaimed French filmmaker, Luc Besson.
Michelle plays pro-democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi, who was put under house arrest most of her life by the former military junta.

The former Bond girl has said in an earlier interview that she hoped her portrayal of Suu Kyi would raise awareness about the Nobel Peace Prize winner's awe-inspiring story.
When contacted by The Daily Chilli, Michelle, via her personal assistant Kit Wong says: "Sorry, we don't have any comments at the moment."
