That Indiana Jones-Short Round montage even nicer than we thought.
On Wednesday, New York Times reporter Kyle Buchanan shared an excerpt from an interview he did with Ke Huy Quan about the sweet moment he shared with former co-star Harrison Ford at this year’s D23 expo.
In September, Quan loved the photos showing his meeting with Ford. “I love you, Indy,” the actor captioned his post, adding, “Indiana Jones and Short Round reunited after 38 years. “
Now, Quan explains how this special moment happened. ” We were on the D23 occasion and I told him Harrison would be there,” Quan said. “We’re in this green room with so many actors, manufacturers and directors, and the user assigned to help me said, ‘Harrison Ford is right outside the green room. Would you like to stop by and say hello?
“I think, ‘Of course! I haven’t noticed it in 38 years,” Quan continued. I approach, my center runs, I think, ‘Is he coming to recognize me?’The last time he saw me, I was a little boy.
As the pictures demonstrate, Quan didn’t have to worry. “When I approach, he turns and points his finger at me, and he has that classic, famous, moody Harrison Ford look,” the actor explained. “I say, ‘Oh my God, he probably thinks I’m a fan and he’s stopping by to tell me not to pass near him. But he looks at me and asks, ‘Do you have a short circuit?’Immediately, I was transported back to 1984, when I was little, and I said, “Yes, Indy. And he said, ‘Come here,’ and gave me a big hug. “
Quan rose to fame as a child actor, either unlike Ford in Temple of Doom and as Data in The Goonies. But then he took a break from 35 years and opted to look for behind-the-scenes opportunities as a choreographer and assistant director due to a lack of roles for Asian actors.
But buoyed by the good fortune of Crazy Rich Asians, he returned to life in front of the camera with this year’s critically acclaimed Everything Everywhere All At Once, and on J23, he revealed that he will be joining the cast of Loki for the Marvel series. Second season.
Still, his meeting with Ford may remain one of the highlights of this record-breaking year. “When I wrapped him in my arms, all the glorious memories I had on set surfaced. “It was so comfortable. He was incredible, and he’s a guy, one of the most generous men on the planet. “
