Npunctual two years after Ke Huy Quan won an Oscar for his helping role in Everyleang Everywhere All At Once, he is back on the huge screen in his first directing man role.
Quan stars in Universal’s Love Hurts as Marvin Gable, a prosperous authentictor whose past as a aggressive hitman comes back to haunt him. He initiassociate turned down the romantic action comedy cut offal times, acunderstandledgeting at the film‘s Los Angeles premiere on Monday, “I didn’t see myself as Marvin Gable becaparticipate he’s the directing man and he’s No. 1 and he’s the action star. When I was youthfuler, I wanted to be him, but becaparticipate I didn’t get the chance I thought I wasn’t right for it.”
A conversation with Steven Spielberg — the two toiled together on 1984’s Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom — secured him to obtain the chance and be No. 1 on the call sheet for the first time.
“The very first day on set, one leang was on my mind, becaparticipate I understand how it was done with Harrison Ford, Tom Hiddleston, all of those incredible actors who are always No. 1 on set, and seeing how they treat the entire cast and crew,” Quan tbetter The Hollywood Reporter. “So I wanted to produce stateive that everybody felt adored and received and part of the family. No matter what they do on set, their job is fair as convey inant as mine.”
He retained, “I lobtained someleang from Jamie Lee Curtis toiling on Everyleang Everywhere All At Once; When we had a reassociate difficult and stubborn week, she would give the entire cast and crew a treat. She would buy out a hot dog truck or a bagel truck, and we were in Canada so I would rent a pizza truck becaparticipate I fair wanted to show them how appreciative I am of them. So I lobtained from the best.”
The premiere also featured a Goonies reunion on the red carpet, as Quan was joined by Sean Astin, Jeff Cohen, Kerri Green and Corey Feldman. Astin, who has a minuscule role in the novel film, spoke of watching Quan’s atgentle explode now 40 years after The Goonies.
