Ke Huy Quan & Harrison Ford: A Nostalgic Reunion

Ke Huy Quan, known for his role as Short Round in the 1984 film "Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom," recently shared details of a serendipitous reunion with Harrison Ford. The encounter occurred at D23 in 2022, a full 38 years after they last met as child and adult co-stars. Ford, who was promoting "Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny," recognized Quan immediately, much to Quan's pleasant surprise.

This initial meeting sparked further heartwarming interactions. Ford presented an Academy Award for Best Picture at the 2023 Oscars, where Quan had won Best Supporting Actor for "Everything Everywhere All at Once." Later that year, Quan surprised Ford again on the red carpet at the "Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny" world premiere.

While fans enjoyed these public moments, the article notes a wistful wish for more on-screen appearances of Short Round alongside Indiana Jones. Though it was not possible for Short Round to appear in "Dial of Destiny," there remains a possibility for Quan and Ford to collaborate on future projects outside the Indiana Jones franchise. Harrison Ford is currently in the Apple TV+ series "Shrinking," and Ke Huy Quan is slated for an undisclosed role in "The Legend of Aang: The Last Airbender."
