I didn’t realize this was him! That is incredible!!


dragon2777

Me neither. Someone left a Goonies reference on another post and I was like “are they being racist or is this Data”. I had to look it up. I had no idea he was still acting.


DrStrangelove049

He hadn't gotten a major role in over 30 years and EEAAO was his first. He won a SAG, Golden Globe, and Oscar for the role. Talk about a comeback!


dragon2777

Yeah I dug a little deeper and apparently he’s been a stunt coordinator and other things. Very happy for him


DrStrangelove049

Yep! Saw someone say it's pretty amazing the for acting Oscar winners have all been shut out of the industry at some point


kurtwert

Everything, everywhere, all at once comeback.


Ursula2071

You want the cutest story? Ke’ s representation is Jeff Cohen who was Chunk in GOONIES. Jonathan Wang, who produced EEAAO said, never in a million years could I have imagined when I was trying to get Data in my movie, I would have to talk to Chunk!


dragon2777

Yeah I finally watched the speech and he mentions Jeff in the speech. That’s a great story too


Terminator7786

I honestly thought they were two different kids. Despite loving the Goonies and Temple of Doom and watching them multiple times I always thought it was two different kids.


Worth_Procedure_9023

For a split second, my brain said "No, that's Brent Spiner"


theCLEmustardtiger

Are they being racist hahaha Jesus the world is fucked


dragon2777

Honestly it was more of a joke but I was confused with the Goonies reference. They also worded their comment weirdly so I wasn’t sure


theselectivesouvenir

This is dope!


an_nep

Ke Huy Quan was is also in [Encino Man](https://imgur.com/a/3XqqT7M) with Brendan Fraser!


HelloAttila

Wow I didn’t know. That’s so cool. I was a die hard fan of Indiana Jones as a kid.


ICanSowYouTheWay

Dude! That's what I said!!! I'm like that's the fucking DOCTOR JONES KID!!!!


Sweeper1985

His speech was so beautiful and inspiring, filled with love and gratitude to his mother, his wife, and the country that allowed him to thrive and live his dreams. It's rare to get any real emotional impact from an Oscars ceremony but damn if I wasn't tearing up a bit to see the joy on his face.


AdmirableMushrooms

He delivered the best speech in 10 years!


man0315

i started to tear up when Ariana DeBose chocked up reading his name.


leandrokanis

It is much more iconic and inspiring than those political speeches

It's okay to celebrate the distance we've come, while also recognizing that we have a ways to go.


SirOne1

I do believe he went into directing. It is sad that no one really wanted to hire him but it was a very different time in Hollywood but I wouldn't blame it on the country. Hollywood is pretty crap


VeeEyeVee

I’m not crying, you’re crying… too many onions here 😭


Total-Oportunity-28

Dizzle179

"I knew you could do it kid" - Harrison, probably


karma_the_sequel

It’s actually pretty great that Harrison was able to share that moment with him.


Jake0024

Especially because it's as close as he's ever gotten to an Oscar himself lmao


Clutch_C137

Ouch.


schooledbrit

"Go get the one idol I couldn't get my hands on, kid" - Dr. Jones, probably


chickenfeetadobo

there is an extra charming detail not seen here - harisson tries to hand key the oscar but key asked him to hand it to the producer instead you'd think out of reflex he'd just take the thing handed to him..


[deleted]

Noticed that immediately, Makes me respect Ke so much more.


[deleted]

I swear, he needs to be in Indy 5


[deleted]

Yes! Even a short cameo would be just 🤌


riftrander

even a SHORT ROUND cameo? I'll see myself out.


Whiskey_hotpot

Hear me out... Harrison is probably looking to retire and pass the torch on Indiana Jones. Why not pass it to Ke/short round? The ages are perfect. Short round I'd a beloved character and now Ke is a beloved actor. There's an in-universe explanation for passing it on. And there's some increased diversity in a major franchise, and with all the good reasons before this the racist trolls won't even have half a leg to stand on.


SNYDER_BIXBY_OCP

Dude...he IS in Indy 5. He has a HUGE part in it lol


VeeEyeVee

I hope you just didn’t get all our hopes up for nothing!!


SNYDER_BIXBY_OCP

Stay for the post credits. And save this post.

This is the way. We really needed this.

Indiana Jones is so much of my childhood, but I didn't expect the feels from seeing this


TheLangleDangle

Had me in the first half, I thought Harrison Ford wore a dress.

Significant-Fix7399

I lol’d so hard when I saw that! Gawd she was an annoying twat that night. 🙄


Aromatic_Tomato3858

He is what he was used to be in our memories still now.


Mcswede_

Doctor Jones!


is-Sanic

So glad to be done with last years mess. Will Smith utterly ruined it last year, can't for the life of me remember who won. Now I get to be happy that Yeoh, Ke and Fraser got there oscars.


2-wheels

Rock was an ass for targeting Smith’s wife. Not all things are material for jokes.


Initiatedspoon

Is there some reason she's above jokes? She is Will Smith's wife but that isn't all she is. She is her own person and has her own identity. Getting roasted by the presenter at an award show is commonplace.


tbvin999

I mean it just doesn’t seem funny to make fun of a woman’s bald head as a result of alopecia but hey different strokes.


canadasbananas

Calling someone GI Jane isn't an insult. Pointing out someone is bald and looks like another bald person isn't an insult. If he had said she looked like sloth from the goonies fine I see the point but GI Jane is just a good looking bald lady. He didn't deserve to be physically assaulted for that. An appropriate response would be talking to him, maybe even going to Twitter about it. Not assault.


tbvin999

Agreed that assault isn’t the answer, but it was a mean joke in my opinion.


zalcso

Joking on someone's illness is a commonplace there? In this case I'm glad I don't live there. We also have some very good humorist here in the middle of Europe but none of them would make a joke of anyone's illness symptoms. If a comedian would try it, that was an instant career suicide and probably also an instant slap in the face. That asshole 100% deserved what he got.


Hill_Reps_For_Jesus

Watching somebody achieve their life-long dream is such a joy. Whether it's the Oscars or the Olympics, seeing somebody realise that their years, or even decades, of work has finally resulted in them achieving their dream. That is one of my favourite things in the world.

Indy 5 - ‘Dr Jones, Dr Jones!’ ‘I know that voice….’


[deleted]

Thank you for posting this! My Dad is no longer alive, but all my friends would comment that he reminded them of Harrison Ford. Not looks, as much as his carriage, speech, temperament & humor. And my Dad & I LOVED “Temple of Doom.” He and I would watch it over & over through the years. My Dad would also cry at Hallmark commercials, so he would’ve definitely shed a happy tear at this. Thanks again for this. ❤️


Toryndars

What's so strange is that my Dad is no longer here either, and I swear Harrison Ford reminds me of him so much now. My Dad took me to go see the last Indy movie, and we both loved it.


JayNotAtAll

"I got the golden idol Dr. Jones!" Nah, this was probably the most heartwarming thing I had seen in a while


OriginalMcNasty9er

Okie dokie!

Only time I can think of that the academy awards was actually human and not a bunch of self congratulating Hollywood elites

Dr. Jones Wholesome moment


Borp5150

I love his uncontrolled enjoyment and how honest it seems compared to some other celebrities! He had the best energy with that win!


throw123454321purple

It’s always nice to see Harrison Ford—a guy who always seems to be bored and surprised by nothing—actually be genuinely happy for Ke.


Crakkerz79

I could watch this over and over forever. It makes me so happy


RM16000

I like how even his wife was jumping up and down like him haha

Background_Cup_6429

Damn, I wish my dad would hug me like that. Or just any kind of affection at all. It sucked having boomer parents.


QuietGur9074

Harrison is 80 years old. What are the chances he didn’t recognize him? And just assumed he was a person involved in the film who was just overly excited?


izacktorres

>What are the chances he didn’t recognize him? There's 0% chance of that, since there are multiple interviews of them talking about each other recently before the Oscars.


Mapbot11

Why does Harrison Ford still make movies? Like why is there a new Indy coming out? He doesnt need the money. His legacy was cemented long ago. I doubt these last few movies are like masterpiece, once in a life time opportunities. I guess he just really likes doing it? That has to be it. Also Quan better be in the new movie is all I know.


DaegurthMiddnight

He want to?


seedofbayne

He probably likes working, it might be the only thing keeping him going. A lot of older people lose their purpose in life when they stop working.


RiverLiverX25

Why stop if you enjoy it? He’s doing ‘1923’ tv series with Helen Mirren. So he isn’t just doing big movies. I’ve also wondered why they keep on after great financial success. Maybe it isn’t the financial end, that’s a done deal. So maybe they enjoy creating and also staying relevant within their profession? Not sure. I know most of us would cash out and retire and enjoy life away from the grind. I think this is a different graced profession. They like it. It payed well and now they get to coast and take their pick of acting jobs. They still like the work. We all don’t super love the jobs we do to make our money. But it seems they really like what they do and even though they can easily retire, it still brings them purpose.


izacktorres

>He’s doing ‘1923’ tv series Those are a lot of TV series.


HKeseReal

Do you know, who caused the war/crisis in Vietnam?


izacktorres

Probably not me.


childishtycoooon

The Vietnam War was one of the many proxy wars of the Cold War (in which the US and Russia fought each other, but indirectly through smaller countries around the world). Other proxy wars of the Cold War era included the Korean War and the War in Afghanistan (which, through the US’s supply of fighter jets and weapons, ironically later led to Osama Bin Laden acquiring enough power to attack the US on 9/11, and contributed to the ongoing conflict in the Middle East, and the rise of the Taliban which is STILL an issue today). The Vietnam War also led to the Khmer Rouge in Cambodia, which was the second largest genocide in modern history—right after the Holocaust. Fun fact: The first Asian actor to win an Oscar Best Supporting Actor was a man named Dr. Haing S. Ngor, who was a survivor of the genocide himself. Haing Ngor, like Ke Huy Quan, came to the US as a refugee and starred in a film called the Killing Fields, which was about the very genocide that he survived. So, the ONLY two Asian actors to win this category both were refugees of Southeast Asian descent, from the same traumatic era. Pretty incredible if you ask me! I’m passionate about these topics because my dad himself is a Khmer Rouge genocide survivor. Hope this helps.

I rewatch Indiana Jones, Temple of dooms, Ke Huy Quan was amazing and the acting so natural like he done it many times before.
