Indiana Jones fans teary over Harrison Ford & Ke Huy Quan reunion
Ke Huy Quan/InstagramHoly smoke! Ke Huy Quan surprised Harrison Ford on the red carpet for Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny, and fans are emotional.
Ford and Quan starred together in 1984’s Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, with the latter actor playing Short Round, Indy’s loveable sidekick as they faced off against a terrifying cult in India.
He didn’t return for The Last Crusade or Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, nor is there any indication he’ll make an appearance in the upcoming fifth movie. However, the pair have reconnected over the past year amid Quan’s award-winning comeback, even embracing Ford on the Oscars stage when Everything Everywhere All at Once won Best Picture.
Now, Indiana Jones fans have a new clip to get teary over: Quan attended the premiere and surprised Ford on the red carpet, and it’s incredibly wholesome.
