Actress Michelle Yeoh confirmed Thursday that she had been denied entry to Myanmar.

Yeoh plays Myanmar opposition leader and Nobel laureate Aung San Suu Kyi in an upcoming movie. She had flown to the country on June 22 and was deported on arrival, she said.

"The immigration authorities treated me cordially but deported me upon arrival for no reason and without providing any justification," she said in a statement.

Considering who's she's supposed to be playing and how that movie is likely going to depict the current government there, it's not surprising that they wouldn't let her (and the rest of the film crew) in.
