These photos of Harrison Ford and Ke Huy Quan are going viral for all the tender reasons


Among the most memorable Oscar moments on Monday morning (Manila time) came from cast members of "Everything Everywhere All at Once."

There was Michelle Yeoh, the first Asian to win the Best Actress trophy, telling women to not "let anybody tell you — you are ever past your prime. Never give up."

And then there was Ke Huy Quan, who wept as he gave a moving speech, accepting the Best Supporting Actor Award.

But there was another moving moment courtesy of the "Everything Everywhere" cast: When Ke Huy Quan and Harrison Ford hugged it out on stage after the movie was proclaimed Best Picture.

Netizens were quick to notice the two stars unknowingly recreating a touching old scene on "Indiana Jones," when Quan, then a child actor, hugged the adventurer played by Harrison Ford.

On Twitter, E! News called it "A full circle moment."

 

 

In his speech after winning the Best Supporting Actor trophy, Quan shared where he started. "My journey started on a boat. I spent a year in a refugee camp. Somehow I ended up here on Hollywood's biggest stage," Quan said.  

The 51-year-old actor admitted he had quit acting as there was very little opportunity for Asian actors like him on the big screen. 

"They say stories like this only happen in the movies. I cannot believe it's happening to me. This is the American dream."

"Everything Everywhere All at Once" swept the Oscars, winning seven of its 11 nominations that evening.

If anybody is looking for a bit of motivation on this Monday, let this be it. — LA, GMA Integrated News
