Everybody loves a birthday surprise, and Michelle Yeoh, star of “The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor” got hers in Tokyo when co-stars Brendan Fraser and Isabella Leong feted her with cake and a singer during a promotional event for the film in Japan.

Yeoh, who turned 46 on Tuesday, was escorted on stage by Fraser, who jokingly wished her: “Happy 19th birthday, it’s been well done!” After licking cake off his fingers, Fraser told reporters that he was an especially happy man. “I am the luckiest man in Japan to be sitting between the two most beautiful women in existence,” he said as an amused Yeoh and Leong looked on. 

 ”The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor” is the third in a series of box office hits about adventurer Rick O’ Connell, played by Fraser, who seems to always run afoul of power-hungry mummies. Yeoh, who rose to prominence in Hong Kong action flicks and gained wide recognition as a Bond girl in 1997’s 007 spy movie “Tomorrow Never Dies”, portrays a Chinese sorceress who puts a curse on an ancient emperor only to see him rise from the dead after 2,000 years to seek revenge.

U.S. critics have hailed Yeoh’s performance as one of the few bright spots of the movie.
