- On October 2nd, Michelle attended the Watches & Wonders 2015 Exhibition in Hong Kong.
Michelle has been busy filming her upcoming U.S. TV series in Malaysia.
She said she had wanted to show her friends from the production team around but unfortunately she was unable to due to the heavy smog caused by volcanic ash. Reporters commented she looked to have lost weight. Michelle said she lost 2 kg. She was training hard with the stunt team. Also, filming action scenes was difficult in the heat, especially when she had to dress in fur sometimes. "I almost had a heat stroke," said Michelle.
Michelle will be in New York and Brazil in the middle of next month for road safety promotion.
