Michelle Yeoh calls Myanmar's Suu Kyi her 'hero' (AP)

BANGKOK ? Michelle Yeoh says she was keen to portray Aung San Suu Kyi as soon as she heard a film was being made about the life of the Myanmar democracy icon.

"The Lady," starring the Malaysian actress, opens in U.S. theaters next month.

Yeoh says the Nobel Peace Prize laureate is a hero of hers. She was promoting the movie Wednesday in Thailand, where most of the movie was shot.

The enthusiasm is not entirely requited. Suu Kyi said in an interview last month she doesn't plan to see the movie and doesn't like watching films supposedly about herself.
