Oscar winner Ke Huy Quan celebrated his return to the big screen with a hand and footprint ceremony at the TCL Chinese Theatre, marking a remarkable comeback after a 20-year hiatus from acting.
Oscar-winning actor Ke Huy Quan cemented his place in Hollywood history on Monday, leaving his handprints and footprints in the forecourt of the TCL Chinese Theatre just days before the release of ' Love Hurts ,' his first major leading man role in over two decades. The ceremony, which celebrated Quan's remarkable comeback, drew a star-studded crowd, including his 'Everything Everywhere All at Once' directors, Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert.
Quan, who opened up about the emotional rollercoaster of his journey, admitted that he had spent years feeling like just another moviegoer, having stepped away from acting after achieving child acting fame. He recalled the feeling of being reminded of his past aspirations, only to be met with the reality of his hiatus. Now, over 40 years later, Quan's Hollywood dream has come true in a way he never imagined. 'Love Hurts,' an action comedy, sees Quan portraying Marvin Gable, a Milwaukee real estate agent who receives a cryptic crimson envelope from Rose (Ariana DeBose), a former partner-in-crime he thought he'd left for dead.Quan shared that reading the script initially left him confused, as he couldn't understand why he was offered the role. He even suggested Jason Statham as a more fitting choice. However, Quan recognized the intention behind the casting: to create a unique action hero who wasn't afraid to show vulnerability and wear his emotions on his sleeve. This role marks a significant step in Quan's acting career, building upon his iconic performances in films like 'Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom' and 'The Goonies.' Quan's dedication to his craft is evident in his journey back to the screen, fueled by the success of films like 'Crazy Rich Asians' and his own starring role in the Netflix family adventure 'Finding Ohana.' His story is a testament to the power of perseverance and the enduring allure of Hollywood dreams
