Dude really just looked at Crazy Rich Asians and said "I can do that" and then immediately went on to make Everything Everywhere All at Once and drop one of the best performances of the year.
Amen
I'm glad it happened!!
One thousand percent this.
he really gave it his all in this movie. He basically played 3 different characters at once.
He was spectacular
His voice is lowkey iconic.
Agreed!
I was really surprised to hear him! It’s a happy nostalgia!!!
Not even lowkey, highkey! I could listen to him speak for hours
😂🤣😂🤣
I have to agree,
all I kept hearing was
"Boobie-traps"!
Read my mind.
As Jamie Lee Curtis said, "this is not a comeback, this is a RETURN of a major talent"
Where did she said this?
@@slowruntatas The cast did a sort of table talk right before the premier of the movie and Ke was telling the story about how he started working behind the camera, etc., and it was then that she said that. It seems that the cast, maybe especially Jamie, really took him in and took several opportunities to let him know how good he really is. And it's true, he's so damn charismatic.
So glad you said that
She said it in the interview where they are all sitting around saki
she said Resume actually.
"Don't call it a comeback...he's been here for years!"
I loved Michelle's performance. But Ke's was so touching to me. He had to play a very emotional role that gave the movie a deeper meaning and it worked perfectly for me. I honestly think he deserves a nomination for supporting role. I'm so happy he's back!
Oh not a nomination, but he will freakin win an Oscar for that🔥🔥🔥
Won a golden globe. Glad I wasn’t the only one who was super excited to see him
Oscar win coming up
I'll be watching EEAAO many more times, but I CANNOT WAIT to see another film starring Ke Huy Quan!
@@cl_the_loon should've placed a bet on that one 😁
In this interview you can tell that Jimmy didn’t understand the lack of Asian representation in Hollywood and Ke really took his time to explain his experience to him
Yeah , he cut him off. He was about to go into it.
I don’t know enough about Kimmel to comment on his body of work, but this was a terrible interview on his part. Mr. Quan is delightful as always.
Agreed!
HOLLYWOOD COMMITTED CULTURAL TERRORISTIC H8TE CRIMES AGAINST ASN AMERICANS FROM 1995- 2017....
Lack of representation? This is a predominantly white country, it makes sense a majority of characters are white. Complaining about a lack of representation of asians in america is like me complaining about a lack of white people in Korean shows. Korea is a predominantly korean population. This whole idea of lack of representation is bullshit.
His personality takes over the room and audience. Hollywood missed out in not casting him for decades
@@JJJoeJoe True, but I also think he meant that do to the lack of opportunities for any actor of a diverse background as it’s no secret that there was a lot of discrimination going on in Hollywood back then and still is.
Facts, so happy he returned and may more others are on their ways
@@JJJoeJoe No, his point is that it wasn't until Crazy Rich Asians that a wider range of Asian role existed.
@@JJJoeJoe He also said he didnt have an agent for decades....so.....
I always fast forward interviews but not this one. He's just beaming with confidence and enthusiasm every second of it.
the word “wholesome” was made just for this man. his energy is so contagious and lights up any room. you can tell he’s just a genuinely good human being
At 5:30 you can really tell how difficult it is for Ke to talk about his career about the time Goonies was over, because eventually the phone stops ringing. And in Ke's case, it was right as his career was taking off. You go from starring in two major blockbuster films, to nothing. And at 14, I can only imagine how defeating that must have felt. I love that he's been able to have a late career resurgence and I'm also hoping we get to see him in the new Indy film.
So happy for his return in middle age, and for the recent Jennaissance (Jennifer Coolidge)
So glad that he didn't gave up his career or descended into drugs or something. he just kept going with what he had and eventually landed back in one of the most outstanding movies of the decade! he's a legend.
@@Cangaca777 We have to thank his PARENTS for that, for staying grounded in his teenage years "post-Hollywood".
@@loveleeluv7 100% Agree
🙈 No more new Indy films, Blade Runner, or Star Wars. I'm too traumatized from the tepid and unnecessary Crystal Skulls and 2049, not to mention yawns and groans inducing Episodes 1,2,3,7,8,9.
I went in to “Everything Everywhere All at Once” without any prior knowledge, and the entire first 20 minutes I was trying to place him, then it hit me. Not only that but he plays a range of characters with such kindness and care. He’s one of the hearts of the film.
I would argue based on the structure and theme he is the heart
Absolutely the heart of the film. Everyone brought such strong emotional performances but Waymond was the constant beacon of hope, joy, and love throughout the film.
Same - there were a couple phrases he would shout, something like "We've got to go now!" that I was like, is that Data? No...couldn't be...but it's totally sounds like him! I waited until the end of the movie to IMDB him and sure enough! He did such an amazing job and it's exciting to see him return so strongly.
@@StillOnTrack “we’ve got to be kind, especially when we don’t know what’s going on.”
It’s a line and a proverb all at once.
I also saw it cold!! And had the same experience re him. What an incredible film. Everyone goes to see The Batman (I fell asleep) and people should go see movies like this. And not just for the reasons Quan mentions.
This is probably one of the most genuine interviews I’ve ever seen. Ke’s gratefulness is incredibly infectious and you can practically feel it. I was a fan of his after seeing Indiana Jones & The Temple of Doom in the 80’s, I’m an even bigger fan now. I wish him nothing but the best and continued success!
I know! Same here! Wish him nothing but the best! What a delightful person!!
Totally agree
Short round Yes !
An absolute heartwarming, kind and humbled human being! much Love and success going forward.
He's still a great KID! I really really hope they have a role for him in the upcoming Indiana Jones movie! Hopefully this extremely effusive interview catches Spielberg's attention and they can get him back on that adventure.
If he doesn't win an Oscar, I'm gonna riot
Just casually comes out of retirement and gives one of the most dynamic emotional performances of the year. What a boss.
Come on. His acting has not improved much since Short Round days. He is impressive in Jackie Chan style action scenes but not in dramatic ones.
@@TheAntsh I am PROUD PROUD PROUD to tell you you were wrong. Key Huy Quan has just won his Oscar tonight.
@@clarykim497 he couldn't have. 95th Academy Awards is scheduled for March 12. Nominations will be announced Jan 24. Unfortunately he is not an Oscar caliber actor and is highly unlikely to be nominated.
@@TheAntsh you are wrong. he has won every major critics award (NY Film Critics, LA Film Critics, National Society of Film Critics) and is currently the frontrunner to actually win the Oscar. Of couse he will be nominated. His main competition is Brendan Gleeson.
Ke Huy seems like a guy who would give great hugs and be an awesome friend. He just speaks like someone with all the wisdom of the reality of the world, but none of the cynicism.
What a great observation!
Steven Spielberg said in an interview that this guy back then, was like a 40 year old trapped in a 10 year old body. Quan is a very talented chap.
And now he seems like an adult that has still got that childlike wonder about him.
@@firstgan114 Couldn't put it into words myself,well said..
He always was, and people noticed him right away. 😊
Love him in Head of the Class.
He is so beloved for his roles in Indiana Jones and The Goonies. So happy that he has returned to acting, he's a true talent. 👍
He killed it, this film is an absolute masterpiece. “ This is how I fight “ Movie quote of the year.
I thought when he told Michelle Yeoh's character that ( I wish I could remember the exact quote ) he wouldn't have mind a life spent with her doing laundry and taxes. That got me right there. He was great in that movie and she was even better.
@@ahammedhassan4883 I definitely cried at this scene haha!
My personal favourite was "In another life... I would have liked to do laundry and taxes with you.... 😄"
That scene just did it for me.
Saying his kindness is strategic struck a chord with me, it hasn't left my mind since seeing it. It was one of the most moving scenes I'd seen in a while. The casting for him was perfect, his delivery truly made me believe it.
@@shadowboxing7029 It was a masterful performance indeed. I will never forget it.
Ke, Michelle & Stephanie were phenomenal together
Jamie too.
Didn’t know he was that kid from the goonies.
The iconic trio 😍
Don't forget Lo Pan himself
And Jaime Lee Curtis
He was the heart of Everything Everywhere.
Yes!!!
This was so heartwarming to see and I'm happy he decided to come back to acting after all this time. He seems so genuine and I hope he's given way more opportunities to work now
His performance in the movie was incredible, even more so knowing that was his first time acting in so many years. One of the best films I've ever seen.
It's great, he never left the industry, he worked for ILM
Genuine is the key word..
THE US MEDIA STALLED ASIAN AMERICAN PROGRESS FOR THE LAST 25 YEARS....FFF THEM ALL...
The Oscars were just last week, but I'm ready to declare Everything Everywhere All At Once the Best Film of 2022. It's moving, funny, shocking, heartfelt, batshit crazy, and very very smart and kind. When it goes into wide release go see it!
Planning to see this movie. Looks great!
100%. That is exactly what I said when we walked out. Best Picture right there. Imaginative, thoughtful and filled with love.
It definitely was batshit crazy! It was so wild, my little brain couldn't keep up. Like how do they come up with these storylines and characters. Man, the imagination. It was a funny, love story for all but weird. I was entertained.
It's incredible the response this movie is getting. I'm so looking forward to seeing it.
@@henrycogo3013 I try not to go into movies with high expectations. It always back fails on me like eh, it was good, but not THAT good. But I hope you really do enjoy this.
When I seen him in this movie, I was so happy, I wondered: "where has he been all these years?" Hearing his story about his struggle as an Asian actor & now he's returned is really heart warming. I love Asian movies, I loved Crazy Rich Asians too though I am Indigenous Australian.
during all those years, I read he was a martial arts teacher (and instructor in hollywood) can somebody tell me if it's true? because he's very good at that too, he already was as a kid.
@@ginauccelatore6430 Not sure if he was a teacher as such but he was certainly around the field. If I recall correctly, he worked as a martial arts and stunt coordinator alongside the legendary Corey Yuen in several Hong Kong films.
@@goodguyaus thank you
❤❤❤
@@goodguyaus I'm so glad thi is happening to him now, during all these years I thought being out of the movie business was his choice because he liked martial arts more and he was still in hollywood, instructing stuntmen. That must have been fake information and that's why we fans stayed out of it too, not forgetting him (HECK NO) but wanting to leave him alone because we thought it was his choice. I had evn heard he had changed is name to Jonathan Quan to be sure to be left alone.
I like that guy . He really made Temple of doom unforgettable . Glad he found legit success .
Wait a minute... I see a new Indiana Jones trailer, I see Short Round on Jimmy Kimmel, and it has NOTHING to do with him coming back in Dial of Destiny? WTF... they brought back Marion, bring back Short Round! I mean why not? He was besties with Indy.
Yeah that movie was the least best of them all but I still loved it and he was a major reason the film was likable
"Hey lady, you call him Doctor Jones!"
When I was a little girl that was my fave one!!!! Now late in my 30s Im more into the last crusade but I grew with those movies!! They were so entertaining!!
It’s so sad that he had to step away from being in front of the camera because of lack of opportunities. Took 20 years for American cinema to have more Asian representation and opportunities and even now he still expressed it’s still difficult. Kudos to Jimmy for having him on and promoting this awesome film!
As an asian myself, i am absolutely thrilled and happy for him.
@Ahhh Haaa Hollywood is dead. Asians can be represented better doing their own thing. We can’t crater to Hollywood, begging them to take us.
There’s a need for more representation in Hollywood period whether it’s Latinos, Africans, South and East Asian etc. there needs to be more of everything and more consistently.
Actually Jimmy doesn’t really care. He’s pretty insensitive and dismissive to Asian guests….but he has an audience and it was still a good opportunity Ke Huy Quan.
Even with Asian representation, you would either have to be Chinese, Japanese or Korean. There are no other Asians in Hollywood 🤷🏻♀️
Okay I'm tearing up over this interview. That was *so* moving. Glad things have changed enough for this talented actor to get right back into it. And kudos to Jimmy for letting him tell the story without interrupting. A rare thing these days.

I was on the verge of tears too. I love his story.. He needs to make a movie about his life!
Me too I got a little teary eyed towards the end of the interview.
Not only is Ke Huy Quan a humble and inspiring person, and a gifted actor, but every part he gets is in a movie that's absolutely classic. See Everything Everywhere All At Once! It genuinely lives up to its reviews and it's title! I saw it this past Sunday and I haven't been able to stop talking about it.
@@darrenkaminsky7618 just saw it tonight. It was honestly a life changing experience.
This young man is one of the most deserving Oscar winners ever. Maintained his humility although things weren't as he had wanted. Stayed true, persevered and took full advantage of this opportunity. Bless his kind heart and mind. A strong family man who has acknowledged his love for his wife and family.
I love how REAL he is in every interview. He does not shy away from talking about Asian representation (or lack thereof) and how it affected his career trajectory. I'm so, so happy for him that he had this opportunity - it is such an incredible movie, and what a joy to see him on screen again!
He's so humble and amazing. I cried a little.
I didn't get how you could feel that way, then after watching I completely understand and felt the same way
But mee tooo
Me too. I am Asian-Canadian.
I GOT EMOTIONAL 🥲 TOO!!!
If you didn't cry at least a little it means you are an NPC. I watched this 2 days ago and am still emotional about it. True beauty, a miracle in cinema. Masterpiece.
Wow, this guy still has that same great energy he had back in the ‘80s. Hope we see more of him in front of the camera.
The cute kid grew into a cute man. Child actors usually age SO badly.

Would be amazing to see him reunite with Harrison Ford!
@@Kermit_T_Frog All the Goonies kids look pretty bad grown up, no offense, except Josh Brolin and Sean Austin looks okay.
🙌
He said some really important things, especially about lack of Asian roles in the past 20 yrs. It was moving when he shared he really wanted to do this role since it featured a Chinese family, and that made him so happy because that kind of an opportunity didn’t exist before.
The moment I saw him in the movie , I was pointing and yelling, that’s the goonie kid, I know that face! And his voice in a lot of ways ain’t change so that help right away
Yes! The voice hasn’t really changed!
Watched this movie tonight in IMAX… was absolutely floored by Ke Huy Quan’s performance and even more impressed considering his two decade hiatus from acting. Hoping for some awards recognition for both this movie and his role.
Everything Everywhere was such a fun movie. Ke crushed it.
Same
I was on the fence when I saw the preview during the Batman, but the more I see about the movie, the more I am looking forward o seeing it. It looks absolutely incredible and like nothing else that has been made before
@@livewiiiiire crazy and funny! A great adventure of a movie.
Oh I'm looking forward to seeing this movie!!
5:21 Ke wanted to talk about his experience of being an asian actor and Jimmy felt uncomfortable and cut him off with “so it’s easier now?” before Ke even started. Ke has to talk around one more time just so he could finish his own story. Talking about the suppression of asian representations, this is a metaphorical moment of it.
@@h.l.6313 He’s also extreme passive in this comparing to his past interviews. Ke has to hype up the audience every single time here. I mean what’s the point of having a host if all he said was, yeh, okay.
Was there really "suppression" of asian representation? Or the film projects back then don't need one?
It ain’t that deep y’all
Naahh.. I’m (South East) Asian myself, and Jimmy’s just a tool like this to most of his guests.. Look up the interview he did for the cast of Guardians Of The Galaxy as an example.. You can tell that Bradley Cooper and his cast mates were a bit PO’d at his comments lol..
@@user-yx1qk4sk5t those options both mean the same thing
dude made me cry or laugh in every single one of his scenes, the way he portrayed the character was so spot on with how my mom is in real life. it’s insane
His performance in the EEAAO was so moving. That episode when he's asking everybody to be kind touched my heart so deeply. Such a talent!
It's kind of insane that this man feels like an old friend from my childhood. He was a huge part of two of my favorite movies when I was a child. We all wanted him to come play with us. His influence has been understated for too long. Glad to see him back on the screen, especially in a film that looks so unique.
I feel the exact same way. I was immediately taken back to my childhood the moment he started speaking 🙏
@@Loki_Yogi same here!!!
I think we all feel that way :)
Yeeeeaaappp i grew up with him. Im just amazed his voice kinda sounds the same lol.. INDDDYYYYY!!!!
Seriously one of the most impressive child actors of all time, I can't wait to see him work as an adult! Let's hope Ke Huy Quan gets handed the Indiana Jones franchise. "Professor Short Round, Department of Archeology" has a wonderful ring to it!
Love the idea!
Please do! I would love for him to return to that movie franchise.
This is actually a fantastic idea!!! He's got the talent and the charisma to pull that off.
I agree because Shia labouf ... smh
I really hope he at least has a scene with Harrison Ford in Indiana Jones 5, which just finished filming.
Just saw the film! I’m calling it…. Actress for Yeoh, Supporting Actress for Lee Curtis, Supporting Actor for Quan and Original Screenplay for the Daniels for Oscars 2023
Quan for sure, screenplay is also likely, but Yeoh has a tough competitor with Blanchett this year, it could be any of the two, and Curtis is up against Bassett, who seems to be the favorite
You are correct and even more nominations.
Supporting Actress for Stephanie Hsu!
I genuinely have never been so happy for one persons success in Hollywood than I am for Ke. What a sweet, sweet man. So deserving.
This dude is so open hearted and honest during this interview, even Jimmy appreciates the dude’s wholesomeness. Great to see him back in business and I can’t wait to watch this movie.
This is my 3rd time watching this interview. GIVE THIS MAN ALL THE ACTING JOBS. I could watch talent meets humility like this all day.
I honestly felt the gratefulness that radiates from him. I hope he gets wonderful opportunities to represent his people and convey his outstanding talent. He was unbelievable in EEAAO
How can you not root for a guy with such passion and gratefulness for what he has? I wish him the best of luck in his return to show business. I believe he came back just at the right time, because there are more opportunities than before for Asian roles and projects.
The audience showing Quan so much love after all this time made me feel really good. He is deserving of that and much more.
I never knew Ke Huy Quan's rise to fame story, and I wish I did before but everything for a reason and at the right time. His humility really moved me, which is why I can agree with everyone commenting about how emotional even this interview was, let alone when they watched the film as I did. His genuine passion for just being the best he could be shined through in all the characters he played, and he played the hell out of all of them! The word that keeps coming through to me about him, as a person, is GRATITUDE! He was so appreciative of every opportunity and person who played a part in all the good things he got to experience in life, whether from 20 years ago to present day, reappearing after so long away from the business, and that's a wonderful thing to see and to be. I want to take that to heart and be this genuine and gracious in my personal and professional life, always. "Be kind"...powerful words. ✊🏾
Who knew when Ke Huy Quan talked about "Everything Everywhere All At Once" that about a year later Jimmy Kimmel hosted the Oscar and Ke Huy Quan won an Oscar.
It is incredibly difficult not to be moved by this man's earnestness.
He’s so charming! Asian representation is so lacking in Hollywood it’s so wonderful to see movies like this being made. It’s sad to think we were missing out on him in movies bc there wasn’t anything available
THIS. We need to see everyone represented.
Watching his interviews always makes me cry because he is such an amazing person!! I want him and Brendan Fraser to have all the best roles opportunities from now on
I've missed Ke Huy Quan, so glad he's back. Even as an adult, every time he talks, gestures, acts, I can still see childlike exuberance of "Shortround" in him. So happy he won the oscar. Well deserved.
"I wanted to be up there with them." Yeah I felt that...I'm glad he got up and did something about it...I'm excited to see this movie.
I haven't been excited about a movie in a long while, (and haven't gone to a theater in how long with the pandemic?) so this is a big deal! 😆
He should win an Oscar for this role. I cried so hard at certain scenes with him. This is probably not only the movie of the year but of this generation.
Now I can tell you he did it
Facts. Sooo good
He wins!
Woooww your words came true 😅 I’m happy 😆
Seeing Ke Huy Quan again after so many years and loving the goonies and Indiana Jones so much was like getting a hug after coming home from a long time away. I hope we get his talent and charisma for many more years on the screen. Thank you Ke
Super glad he’s back. The youthful enthusiasm and charm he’s always had has never gone away, and he’s quite obviously one of the most likable actors around. He’s grateful for his opportunities and we’re grateful he’s returned to share his talent.
I walked in expecting a quirky, hopefully fun movie and was in complete shock about 30 minutes in. From there it just kept escalating to more and more bizarre, funny, crazy, fun, and… emotional???
Yes, emotional.
There is nothing to compare this movie to, it is a complete original, and possibly my new all time favorite movie.
Underneath all the wonderful insanity is an excellent message that really hit me hard because my father passed away 6 days ago.
All I can say is, this movie really helped on many levels. I really appreciated and enjoyed it.
Condolences to you 🙏🏼
Yeah, it was absolutely insane. And the emotions in the end, I did not expect it to hit me that hard.
Oh and my condolences, I hope you are doing a bit better now!
It's over-the-top, bizarre, hilarious, overwhelming, terrifying, and absurd...but that's just life.
Such an appreciative audience for this super wonderful guest.
First thing I noticed: probably one of the loudest audiences I've heard in a while. Really enjoyed his stories. Good for him!
@@landonfolken03 i’m glad you verified that it was loud. The loudness was enjoyable. His stories were excellent.
YES! How great was it that basically everyone in the audience knew who he was and loved seeing his return
@@EmpyreanLightASMR Very heartwarming. The love and appreciation was palpable!
He absolutely deserves it! Such an endearing guy
HE MUST BE PROTECTED AT ALL COSTS!!!
His performance in EEAAO was amazing. I hope we get to enjoy more performances from him 😁👍🏻
and the oscar is goes to Ke huy Quan last night!!! Cgngrats Ke !
MAN, as soon as he started talking it's the same voice! That's awesome that he returned to be in front of the camera. He's a great part of many of our childhoods!
Gotta love him! He still have that Short Round’s energy until now
I remember when Indy came out, everyone was talking about him. Maybe the only one every to scene steal from Ford. I was disappointed we didn't see him again in the franchise.
What a wonderful man, he's so humble and grateful for the opportunities he's been given. And he's a phenomenal actor. His performance in that movie (which I've now seen twice in the theater) was incredibly good.
saw the movie last night and it's incredible. one of the most inventive, bonkers, touching films i've seen in a good long while. got choked up looking up who played Waymond and finding out his actor played these roles as a child and was making this grand return to a wide audience. he's a show-stealer and i hope it's the start of new things for him.
I really want to see it!
Omg he even speaks the same way he did in the 80s. His candour and how he said “no it’s not” is straight from Temple of Doom. Welcome back sir!
Totally.
Hollywood didn’t change Ke Huy Quan , he’s a humble and empathetic man. Well- deserved win!
This made me so emotional. What a genuine human being
Hearing Ke talk for the first time was like that scene in Ratatouille, when the food critic takes a bite of the dish and he's not just reminded of his youth, he is absolutely transported back in time and embraced by a mixture of nostalgia and a feeling that you thought you no longer had. Short Round was absolutely the BEST part of Temple of Doom, and Data inspired me to try being an inventor for a good solid two years after seeing Goonies.
Even though the movies weren't great, I felt the same nostalgia when I heard Optimus Prime's voice again in the first Transformer movie and, most recently, when young Luke revealed himself and spoke in the Mandalorian. And, it's not JUST nostalgia, it's more like a time-travel connection a very special, child-like version of yourself that most of us have lost touch with, and that some of us will never see, hear or feel again.
But, feeling THAT way again, even for a moment, is magic. So happy to see him acting again.

@@elinoremacinnes5747 🤣🤣
@@elinoremacinnes5747 I can never think of that movie in the same way. 🦝🤣🤣🤣
Spot on. Couldn’t have said it better myself. I couldn’t stop smiling while he was talking
Well put! Just reading that almost made me cry.
I hope to see him in more movies. How can you not like this guy?
I hope the same.
This movie moved me to tears. Everyone did such an incredible job and Ke specifically was just phenomenal. I can’t wait to own this movie. Please keep making more of these interesting stories
Ke Huy absolutely killed it in Everything Everywhere All At Once....I loved his acting when hes in a suit standing in the rain delivering the dialogue to Michelle....it was such a powerful scene
That was probably the sweetest interview I’ve ever seen:
Love Harrison Ford and all the Indy movies, but let's be serious THIS guy was the best part of that movie!
Part 2 was more memorable to me than part 3!
Short Round stole the Temple of Doom.
You call him doctor Jones doll!
@@filmfan2250 hahahahhahaha man right when I read that, busted up laughing.
"No more parachute!"
What a lovely lovely man. So happy to see him back.
This is one of the people that you would love to spend an afternoon with. He seems so happy and appreciative to be alive.
Goonies is still a favorite. What a life this guy has had 🥰
Just rewatched myself a few days ago on bluray.
I hope to see a Ke huy quan/ sean astin reunion because sean astin is the only goonie I met and I can tell you he's still enthusiastic about it, despite other more famous films he did as a grown up; they're both goonies forever
I’m too young for goonies, but this guy is so pure and grateful, he brings me hope.
You’re NEVER too young to be a goonie. Especially nowadays. Do a solid and watch.
Goonies is a timeless classic. Doesn't matter what era you come from. 😀
Agreed, watch the goonies, you wont regret it, it's a classic 80s flick
Aww I so wish you'd been around to experience The Goonies with me and my generation but then you'd be an old fukkr like us so it's okay you arrived when you did. Better late than never I say😎
I saw Goonies...tooooo many times. I got sick of it as a kid!
How can you not just love this guy. So unbelievably genuine and sweet. God bless you!
Temple of Doom was by far the best Indiana Jones movie and thank to this guy.. the boy was so great in it.
What a delightful man. It's almost like he never stopped being realistic about hollywood, and it guided him to a good and humble life.
Dude had me cheesing the whole time. Incredible energy. I am definitely going to see this movie.
did you like it?
@@montanawildhack2760 it's actually pretty good. I literally just saw it yesterday. Lol.
@@anthonyiloenyosi5713 Lmao same here, liked it as well.
he is a joy
I loved every scene that he was in “Everything Everywhere All at Once” . Hope to see more! What a fantastic actor.
"Everything Everywhere All At Once" was an incredible movie but, as a Goonies fan, recognizing Ke Huy Quan as the actor who played Data and just seeing him on screen and hearing his voice after so many years made it even better for me.
"He not nuts! He crazy!" A movie line I've never forgotten. Loved this interview!
I missssss his accent.. its mesmerizing hearing his voice its like in the Goonies!
Bro, I just watched 3 videos of this guy and he makes want to cry in every one. Why? He's got so much pent up emotion.
I saw the movie last weekend, and I seriously hope we're saying "Oscar nominee Ke Huy Quan" next year. He's THAT good.
Oscars is a joke
So glad to have him back...AND EVERYONE, GO SEE "EVERYTHING EVERYWHERE ALL AT ONCE"!!! IT'S INCREDIBLE!!! SEE HIS RETURN IN ONE OF THE BEST FILMS OF THE YEAR!
Maybe the best film of the decade.
This is golden and Ke should be in more movies if he wants to. He was so great in everything everywhere all at once. His performance brought me to tears
So talented yet so humble. Congrats Ke❤️♥️❤️
this was so wholesome. he was AMAZING in Everything Everywhere All At Once.
This dude rules. Heart on his sleeve. Great actor.
The more I watch old interviews of Ke about his role in EEAAO, the more I root for him to take home that Best Actor in a Supporting Role in next week’s Oscars!!! Amazing and inspiring career/ life story, Ke Huy Quan❤
and he did it
@@virosyah_Resd amen to that. I'm glad he won. 💯🔥💯
I love this guy so much. You can tell his wholesome character extends to/from the screen of his role in everything everywhere all at once with the stories and perspectives I heard from him in this clip alone.
I love, absolutely love that there is more Asian representation these days, but it's not enough. We need ALL asian representation, Cambodia, Laos, Berma, Sri Lanka. It's time, we all have a spotlight.
I'm speaking on behalf of my extended Cambodian/Laos family i love you all.
Absolutely!! We are not a monolith!
Just saw him in Everything Everywhere All At Once. Masterpiece.
You don't know how much I appreciate Ke for telling his authentic story at 5:15 that he stepped away from acting not by choice, but because there was no work for him despite how much he loved acting. That is a small yet powerful move in the right direction for an AA actor to speak his truth
He is pure joy and sunshine
This is the quietest I've ever seem Jimmy in an interview. Ke is such a great story teller.
He's the best. I've loved him since The Goonies.
So happy for him, and for us that he returned to acting. As for many, I too got emotional listening to his story. Great interview!
he is still have that youthful energy and his voice is timeless and really took me be back to Indiana Jones & goonies. he was definitely my favorite character. love this for him
everyone needs to see the movie he's promoting here. "everything everywhere all at once" - the movie is superb and he is incredible in it. would never know that he hasn't acted in 20 years
