Indiana Jones And His Sidekick Reunited 38 Years Later
Child actors. For every Ron Howard, who we watched grow from “Opie Taylor” to “Ritchie Cunningham” to Oscar-winning director, the Hollywood landscape is littered with thousands of Ke Huy Quans. WHO?! I was hoping you’d ask. Quan had a pretty good run in the mid 1980s. He’s fondly remembered as one of “The Goonies.” However, for me, Quan will always be “Short Round.”
As sidekick to Harrison Ford’s most famous archeologist in movie history, Quan was crucial to the plot of “Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom,” Since then? Well, we really haven’t seen too much until last year’s “Everything Everywhere All At Once.” However, that all changed this past weekend. The two actors ran into each other while promoting separate projects. 38-years-later, “Indy” and “Shorty” were together again.
How great is this?! By the way. At an event for Disney over the weekend, the 81-year-old Harrison Ford unveiled the first teaser trailer for his 5th and final go-round as “Dr. Henry Jones, Jr.” next summer, “Indiana Jones and the Spear of Destiny.”
